Ace Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 There are many vintage car lovers out there, but few of them prefer the Mercedes-Benz 300SL. At least that's my impression, I might be wrong. Anyway... Do you know this model, built in the 1950's, is still on the list if the fastest cars ever made? Just thought I'd share this with all you car enthusiasts! It's a 3.0 liter overhead cam straight 6 cylinder mated with 4 speed manual that can get close to 260 km/h. For its time, that was history being written right then and there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Woah, 260km/h speed in 1950's must be rocket fast. Did they have capable roads for testing at that time...? Nice touch of history, Ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosanna Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I read Ace's post and was skeptic, such a speed in the 1950's seems impossible! So I checked it out (no offence, Ace!) and apparently they DID invent this really fast car! This is ..just.. wow! I too wonder about the roads now haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
