The iconic Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, renowned for its distinctive gullwing doors and status as the fastest car of its time, has been reborn in a remarkable $1 million restomod. California-based custom car builder S Klub has transformed this automotive legend by pairing its timeless design with modern performance, courtesy of AMG power.
In a recent video on the Autopia LA YouTube channel, hosted by Shawn Davies, car enthusiasts were treated to a glimpse of this incredible restomod. Built on a Mercedes-AMG SLK55 chassis, S Klub’s creation combines the vintage charm of the 300SL Gullwing with a 5.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission, complete with paddle shifters for an engaging yet easy driving experience.
The car features a wide-body design, molded from an original 300SL Gullwing with just 7,000 miles on it, that was restored by Mercedes-Benz in 1979. S Klub’s updates include modern suspension, Brembo brakes, and performance tires, ensuring the car is as capable on the road as it is in a showroom.
The interior blends modern comfort with classic aesthetics, offering air conditioning, Bluetooth, leather upholstery, and a high-end sound system. The car is finished in a unique green paint, with S Klub confirming that no other 300SL restomod will be produced in this color.
This restomod is a perfect fusion of old-world charm and modern engineering, making it a one-of-a-kind masterpiece for both collectors and driving enthusiasts alike.
