Engineering Precision — 3 museum-grade prints that set the mood. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL W198 Gullwing was produced from 1954 to 1957 with 1,400 coupes built. Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut adapted the 1952 racing car's space-frame into the road car, necessitating the signature upward-opening doors. The NSU Ro 80 won Car of the Year 1968 and was produced from 1967 to 1977 with approximately 37,375 units built. Claus Luthe's fastback design influenced European saloon aerodynamics for a decade. Mazda's Group B RX-7 programme represented the marque's most visible rotary rally effort outside Japan — a Rothmans-sponsored campaign that leveraged the FB platform's lightweight coupe architecture against turbocharged piston rivals. The 13B engine's compact dimensions and high-revving character offered a distinct driving philosophy on gravel stages, even as Group B's escalating power and safety concerns reshaped the FIA rulebook.
