Unveiled at the 1954 New York Motor Show as a fully equipped and stunningly specified production model, the 300SL stole the show. It was recognisably derived from the all-conquering racer of less than two years before and far from being toned down, it now offered even more performance and even an improved chassis. There was direct fuel injection, which was a world first for a production car and the exceptional aerodynamic styling of the 300SL was revolutionary. Not only was it the fastest production car in the world at the time, it was also a perfectly practical and civilised grand tourer. $6,820 when new, the Gullwing coupe was already being described as an all time classic.
