Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc Roadster
(1956 - 1958)
Car articles about Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc Roadster by year
In "AR"-LANGSTRECKENPRUFUNG NR.87, Automobil-Revue invites its readers to take a ride in a Mercedes 300 SLR racing sports car. Not a short trip, but 3,500 km were covered. And the AR test team were thrilled. Not only the driving performance was impressive, but also the almost everyday qualities of the car, which was actually built for the racetrack. With a sprint time of 7.1 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, a top speed of 284 km/h and braking deceleration of up to 9.8 m/s2, these are qualities that may be standard for sports cars in 2010, but must have seemed sensational in 1956. The significance of such a racing sports car is not limited to its successes or the enthusiasm it arouses in fans of sporting masterpieces. Rather, it shows that there is still untapped technical potential in automobile construction.
In 1956, Hobby drove the Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing in a double test of almost 3000 km across Germany, Austria and northern Italy. The two authors Sponsel and Dettmer were impressed and enthusiastic, but also recognized the limitations of a narrow sports car geared towards racing.
A serviceable luxury two-seater of the highest quality with the performance and driving safety of a top-class sports car - this is how the testers of the Automobil-Revue saw the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. And they summed it up accordingly: "There is no better way to combine the virtues of a strongly built touring car with those of a fast sports machine. With the exception of two additional emergency seats, it leaves nothing to be desired. From leisurely city drives to long business trips, from sporty excursions to vacation trips, the 300 SL offers something close to perfection, provided you don't mind its somewhat raspy voice. Enthusiasts will love it, technicians will admire it, and the better you know the car, the more you will envy its owners."
