The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, introduced in 1954, is famed for its gullwing doors and engineering refinements. Its 2,996 cc engine allowed original models to reach about 260 km/h (162 mph). The Italeri 1/16 edition reproduces the car's proportions and cockpit detail for modellers seeking period authenticity.
The kit provides a well-detailed interior with an accurate dash and seats. The engine bay is modelled so builders can represent the mechanical layout that made the 300 SL stand out in its era.
Included features include steerable wheels, rubber tyres, and opening gullwing doors plus opening bonnet and boot. These working elements improve both realism and the ability to display interior and engine details.
