GWA is a company specializing in turning Mercedes Benz cars into retro-looking hot rods and this is their latest project the Gullwing America GWA 300 SLC.
The Gullwing America 300 SLC is based on a 2012 Mercedes benz SLS Roadster AMG and has been re-modeled to look like a classic 1955 Mercedes 300 SC W188.
This one-off model, built for an Eastern European customer, features a bespoke handmade aluminum body, and custom-made wheels. The running gear and interior are pretty much stock SLS.
It has been a challenge, of course, to fit the SLS with the new outfit. For instance, they had to change the position of the pop-up rear spoiler, and do a lot of structural work to make those wheels fit and headlights work.
The end result though is a pretty exquisite thing.
The SLC features the standard fabric rood, plus a new removable hard top.
The wheels are GWA Evolution models, size 22 x 12 rear and 21 x 9.5 front, wrapped with Continental tires. GWA also provides the car with a special exhaust system and height adjustable suspension.
No word on the pricing, but rest assured such a treatment is hugely expensive; something in the neighborhood of half a million dollars, we reckon.
