What is the difference between the 300 SL Gullwing street car and the 300 SLR racer?
They both have gullwing doors, intricate tubular frames, and may seem very similar. But look at the bodies and you will see the 300 SLR racer has a more streamlined and sculpted body, a meshed air intake in the hood, a tubular racing exhaust that exits the right side of the car, no bumpers, and many other detail differences. Under the skin they diverge even more, the 300 SLR being based on the W196 GP racer using a straight 8 cylinder engine vs 6 cylinders in the 300 SL, racing style inboard brakes and 16 inch wire wheels. More explanation below in scans from the book we provide with every pre-ordered kit:

One final detail: only two Mercedes 300 SLR Coupes were ever produced, compared to 1400 of the 300 SL gullwing street cars.
