INFATUATE: Mercedes Gullwing

Mercedes Benz introduced the 300 SL in 1954. It was the fastest production car of its day. 1,400 Gullwing models were made. These models fetch over one million dollars today. If you have the money to buy one, don't worry about crashing it, Mercedes still supplies parts for every car they have ever built.








In 2011, Mercedes is introducing the SLS AMG. This one can be bought for under $200k. If you happen to crash this one, no big deal. Ten seconds after a detected rollover, explosive bolts situated at the top of the door frame fire as bell cranks seperate the car from the doors for an easy exit.
