Looking like something from Toon Town, the 2009 Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing Panamericana Replica brings back the beautiful car designs of the 50s and 60s.
"It was a revolution; produced in very limited numbers, it was the fastest production vehicle available at the time and it was also the first to use direct fuel injection," Swipe Life explains. "Besides being at the pinnacle of technology, its trademark gullwing doors are what defined its legacy."
The 2009 Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing Panamericana Replica combines the original charm, complete with gullwing doors. It has a 370hp engine with an aluminum and fiberglass body.
The original Mercedes Gullwing was one of the most prized collector cars, so this remake will probably be near impossible to get.
