In the mid-50s, it was the fastest car on the planet. Today, it’s a legend. I wanted to see what happens when that iconic 300 SL Gullwing DNA meets the raw power of a modern SLS AMG chassis.

This Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR AMG Concept is a carbon-fiber tribute to the original 1954 masterpiece, translated into the present day.

Does the modern world need a new Gullwing, or should the original remain untouched?

Hans Heyer, a German racing driver, developed this sports car based on the Mercedes-Benz C107 Coupé, which was intended to be entered for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. At its heart was a charismatic 5-liter 8-cylinder engine that, after an incredible amount of modifications, delivered between 580 and 600 hp. Weighing only 850 kg, one can only imagine how fast the car would reach speeds of over 200 mph - Mercedes-Benz SLC 500.

Ferrari brings back a legend. The new edition of the Testarossa combines a V8 biturbo combustion engine with three electric motors and achieves a system output of up to 1,050 hp. Absolute record for a Ferrari production model - Ferrari 849 Testarossa.
