BRABUS - Mercedes-Benz 300 SL „Flügeltürer“ (W198) - Geneva Motor Show * A&T Design

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL "Gullwing" (W198) is an absolute dream car to this day. Only 1,400 of these famous cars with the upswinging doors were built between 1954 and 1957, which thanks to their characteristic shape reminiscent of the wings of a seagull gave the car its "Gullwing" moniker. The 300 SL Gullwing was crowned "sports car of the century" in 1999. A series production of the 300 SL originally developed for motorsport was not planned initially. After lengthy deliberations and in light of the potential sales success in the USA, the decision was made in favor of a series production of the 300 SL in a street-legal version dubbed the W 198. An especially lightweight version made completely from aluminum was produced only 29 times and is therefore an accordingly hot commodity. BRABUS Classic has extensive knowledge of both variants and revitalizes this dream in 6-Star quality.

The engine of the 300 SL is disassembled and all components are measured. The restoration of the classic's engine is carried out with utmost care. The BRABUS drivetrain technicians recondition the transmission, driveshaft and differential with that same precision. All components of the suspension and the brakes are returned to new condition. Springs and shock absorbers are replaced, all axles are fitted with new bearings. To ensure optimal safety and absolute reliability after the restoration, all electrical components are overhauled or replaced.
