About the Mercedes 300 SL W198 Gullwing Green Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 300 SL W198 Gullwing in green reproduces the coupe famed for its upward-opening doors, with opening gullwing doors and bonnet exposing the cabin and straight-six engine. A landmark 1950s Mercedes subject for any serious classics shelf.

The 300 SL's doors open upward rather than outward, a solution born from the racing chassis beneath rather than a styling gimmick, and that engineering quirk became the car's defining feature.

Diecast Build and the Gullwing's Opening Doors

Both doors open on their distinctive upward hinges, exactly as the original required, exposing a cabin trimmed with period-correct instrumentation and a bonnet that lifts to reveal the tilted straight-six engine fitted to clear the low bonnet line. Norev's zinc alloy diecast gives the low, curved body real weight, and the shut lines around those unusual door hinges sit tight for the tier, a genuinely important detail given how central the doors are to this car's identity. The green paintwork carries a deep, even gloss across the flowing bonnet and distinctive side vents.

Why the 300 SL Anchors a Post-War Mercedes Collection

Few post-war cars carry the same instant recognition as the Gullwing, and its racing-derived chassis engineering makes it a genuine touchstone in Mercedes' broader history, connecting the marque's competition programme directly to a road car. Displayed as the centrepiece of a Mercedes or 1950s classics shelf, it earns that position through both its engineering story and its still-striking silhouette. The opening gullwing doors make this piece especially rewarding to handle rather than simply admire from a distance.
