Description

IXO Mercedes 300 SL Roadster blue kit 1:8 modelcars24 exclusive. High-quality kit in 1:8 scale, complete delivery

Discover the legendary Mercedes 300 SL Roadster - the stylish successor to the iconic Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing. The Roadster was launched in 1957 and is considered a milestone in the history of Mercedes-Benz. This vehicle combined racing technology with elegant design. The innovative tubular lattice frame enabled an extremely light yet stable construction. The M 198 engine, a 3.0-litre six-cylinder unit, already featured direct petrol injection - a process that was not introduced by other manufacturers until years later. With an output of 215 hp, the Roadster reached a top speed of up to 250 km/h - an impressive performance for the 1950s, when most cars barely reached 120 km/h. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster (W 198) was built from 1957 to 1963. A total of 1,858 examples of this extraordinary model were produced.
