Owning a Mercedes Benz has become synonomous with success but ownership of the infamous and iconic 1954 300SL gullwing is a pure symbol of wealth and exclusivity. So when Nigo – the owner of BAPE – looked to do his new projecdt car he contraced AMG to build him a 300SL that is fitted with a AMG V8 (6.0L) powerplant. There’s no word on whether or not it’ll be forced fed with superchargers or turbos but either way the restoration and retrofit is one that we can’t wait for.
