here are few cars as iconic in the automotive realm as the Mercedes-Benz 300SL. The SL nameplate is still alive today, with an all-new model arriving for the 2022 model year, but the 300SL is special. Its gullwing doors and sleek design has made it a head-turner for 70 years. It doesn’t need a makeover, but a slew of new renderings from Abimelec Design imagine the 300SL wearing a handful of modern-day AMG GT R touches, and it looks really good.
The changes are subtle, but the small dose of AMG GT R awesomeness does add to the 300SL’s sporty appearance. The 300SL doesn’t lose its sleek shape. Instead, the car gets several AMG touches. The front-end looks quite similar to the 300SL, but the entire face is different, with a reshaped grille, a revamped front bumper, and a lower carbon-fiber chin spoiler. Carbon-fiber side skirts are also added along with carbon-fiber hood garnishes. The fender vent looks larger and squarer, too.
