Reported by latest Autobild mag, Mercedes may be planning on a revival of the 300SL Gull wing. Not much details though . . .

 

That's hot... too bad it'll cost a ridiculous amount.

 

Not diggin the headlights, but otherwise

 

wow talk about bringing back the history. this car, if they make it again, is going to attract quite some eyes

 

wow....

my favorite car is going to be remade?

i'm kinda ehhhhh....doesn't making a new one cheapen the old?

 

It looks cool and all but I must honestly say I dont like it nor the idea.

 

those headlights look like SLR taillights...


i like it though. the grill seems a BIT out of proportion, but i'd still hit it.

 

It's just not classy in these days. If you don't know what a SL gullwing is than this will make you say YUCK!

 

Mercedes needs to understand SL used to stand for Super Light.......

 

Headlights could be better but overall I like it. I like the idea of bringing back the gullwing. The original will never lose it's charm or exclusivity because a new one will be miles apart in technology and style.

 

Interesting idea, but where would Mercedes position this car? Above the SL500 or below it somewhere about the SLK? If the priced it about the SLK and below the SL, I think it might
work.

Considering the success of the CLS, the gullwing SL might be a nice addition to Mercedes'
lineup. An nice 'alternative' looking car with a proven foundation.

 

Please, no. Remakes are tacky.

Want proof? It's the latest thing at Ford and GM...

 

Tacky???
I would drive a Ford GT in a heartbeat. A Saleen S7 too...or any car with Saleen badging.

As for GM, I'd drive a vette or the GTO easy.

 

Car looks hot but I'd get the Lexus supercar instead.

 

German magazine AutoBild says of a forthcoming Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing (in our rough translation): The flying tourer returns! (Photo courtesy of AutoBild)

STUTTGART, Germany — German car magazine AutoBild has just published a story saying that Mercedes-Benz will build a latter-day version of the classic 1950s 300SL Gullwing.

The magazine's cover story, under the title "The flying tourer returns," shows a sketch of an enticingly curvy, 21st-century update of the timeless design. The Left Lane News Web site comments that the car looks like it "could slot somewhere between the SLK and the SL/CL models."

What this means to you: Take flight!
