SCX Original Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupé - 24h Le Mans

The SCX Original Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupé 24h Le Mans is a faithful replica of the legendary race car that took part in the 1952 24 Hours of Le Mans. The car, known as the W194, was the first Mercedes-Benz racing car after World War II and marked the brand's return to world motorsport. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL was equipped with a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine with an output of over 150 hp, which allowed it to reach speeds of over 250 km/h. The car was built on an innovative tubular frame that was both lightweight and strong, contributing to its excellent handling characteristics. One of the most striking design features was the gullwing doors, which opened upwards and allowed easy access to the cab, even though the car was low.
