Wheelnut, I think you mean 300SL.

I am liking the shape that this car is taking and to me, it is the first truly exciting Mercedes in quite a while. Until now, all they have really done is continually add the 6.2 V8 to relatively staid cars. No bad thing, but this is different. I am liking it but what I really would like is an original 300SL Gullwing. To me, that was one of the most beautiful cars ever made and it still looks fantastic. These will stand out on the road but not as much as an original would.

I like how this thing is turning out, nice classic shape instead of the generic swept-back supercar look. Ill be very interested to see how it all comes together

That could infact be where the door handles will be given that the car is going to have Gullwing doors; which means the doorsill will be 1/5 the way up the side [ similar to a Ford GT-40 or BMW-McLaren F1]

I think the bonnet is too long given that the car is supposed to be a modern version of the iconic 200SL from the 50-60s.. it should be slightly bigger than an SLK55

I doubt those will be doorhandles for some reason

and too me, it just doesnt look pretty. Its too masculine and has a strong jawline. The original gullwing had smooth flowing lines not unlike modern aston martins.

Hahaha… check out the location of the door handles! That looks so ridiculous!!!

I don’t know how practical it would be either…
