The slippery slope from sports car to hypercar

June 24, 2020 — Roger Gloor 135

Car fans once dreamed of top-of-the-range or super sports cars. Since the turn of the millennium, however, hypercars have been regarded as the ultimate in automotive transportation.

To prove this thesis, this article takes you through the development of the sports car up to the present day and shows many of the cars mentioned in pictures.

Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (R107) - a youthful classic with a legendary name

May 7, 2011 — Bruno von Rotz 36

Between 1971 and 1989, Mercedes built the R107 and the coupé variant C107 as the 280 SL to 560 SL and 280 SLC to 500 SLC respectively. Commercially, the model series was a great success and the R107 was the longest-built SL ever; the predecessors W198, W113 and the successors were all built over much shorter periods of time. The last examples of the R107 series became classics from the assembly line and today, together with their older brothers, enjoy a large fan community.

The first and last bearer of the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL name

January 29, 2015 — Bruno von Rotz 75

Almost 40 years and several model series lie between the first open-top 300 SL and the last. Technically and conceptually, the W 198 and R 129 series are far apart. But both offered pleasurable open-top driving and superior performance, i.e. the same thing, albeit nowadays at a price that differs by a factor of 50. This report compares the first and last bearers of the 300 SL name and shows both in historical and contemporary pictures.
