300SL Gullwing lineage and the Gull Wing Group

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (C197) · history

The SLS is framed as the spiritual successor to the 1950s 300SL Gullwing, and that heritage is now formalized: the long-running Gull Wing Group club, historically a 300SL organization, admits SLS coupes and roadsters. Owners cite the vintage SL market as a template for how SLS values may develop, and buyers are routinely invited to join the club.
