4Two letters are enough to write a legend : SLBrescia Mile 187Mile 987Mile 823Mile 369Mile 736Mile 546RomeIt takes three days to cover the 1000 miles from Brescia inLombardy to Rome and back, on roads which run throughsleepy villages and across impressive piazzas. This is, ofcourse, the route of the world’s most famous road race ofall. We’re taking the SL back to the route on which itsdistinguished ancestor, another series - production roadster,made history back in 1955. Raced by the Fitch / GesellTeam, the 300 SL of more than half a century ago left allthe favourite Italian models in the GT class above 1.6 litrestrailing in its wake. And now we’re revisiting this culturallyrich route in a roadster which sets new standards for refineddriving and whose engine and chassis provide ampleevidence that they are worthy of the legendary SL name.The design, appointments and sound of the roadster areas impressive to observers as they are to the driver. Nowyou can write the next chapter of the 300 SL Gullwinglegend yourself. Such rare pieces of Mercedes - Benz historycan still be acquired at www.mercedes - benz.de / classic
