Mercedes-Benz 300SL

CREATOR BY ASHMINGGU

A legendary gull-winged coupe that was far ahead of its time; the grandfather of modern-day sportscars; the coupe that would go on to prove as one of the most, if not, the most pivotal sportscar to be made in the 20th century moving forward. With all that said, what makes this coupe so special you may ask? Apart from its elegant and pristine 50’s automotive styling, the 300SL was in the most layman terms, a production version of the race-dominating W194 racing coupe which would be used by Daimler-Benz (currently known as Mercedes-Benz) to win their first ever victory at the 1952 24 Hours of Le Mans, on its debut race. Powering the 300SL coupe was a 3.0L SOHC inline-6 that utilized the same mechanical fuel injection system used on the W194 racing car. At the time, this was a first for a production car. As a subsequent of this advance technological system, the engine was able to produce an upwards of 212hp at around 5000rpm. Although having considerably heavy mass as far as cars at the time go for (weighing around 1300kg), the 300SL was also one of the best performing sportscars in the world, thanks to its masterclass powerplant. As a matter of fact, the 300SL would go on to be dubbed the fastest production car to be ever made at the time, with a top speed of 263km/h (163mph) which for the early-mid 50’s was something that was anything but ordinary.

• Car History

“The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (chassis code W 198) is a two-seat sports car which was produced by Mercedes-Benz as a gullwinged coupe (1954–1957) and roadster (1957–1963). It was based on the company’s 1952 racer, the W194, with mechanical direct fuel injection which boosted power almost 50 percent in its three-liter overhead camshaft straight-six engine. Capable of reaching a top speed of up to 263 km/h (163 mph), it was a sports car racing champion and the fastest production car of its time. Max Hoffman, Mercedes-Benz’s United States importer at the time, inspired the 300 SL and saw an American market for such a car. The company introduced the 300 SL in February 1954 at the International Motor Sports Show in New York City (instead of Europe) to get it into US buyers’ hands sooner. SL is the short form for “super-light” in German (super-leicht) – Mercedes’ first use of the designation, referring to the car’s racing-bred light tubular-frame construction. The 300 SL was voted the “sports car of the century” in 1999.

• How to open the doors

i) Doors

To OPEN the doors, right click the car and the doors will open. Right click again to get in.
To CLOSE the doors, right click WHILE shifting/crouching.

In a nutshell, the concept is basically;

Right click/hold + Shift/crouch = Close doors
Right click ONLY = Open doors and to get in car … (once the car’s doors are open)

I’ve made a video showing how it’s done so if you don’t understand words, you can check that video out. The car in the video used is my previous Datsun 240z addon which shouldn’t be a problem as the concept (animations, door and sound effects) are the same for this addon (Mercedes-Benz 300SL).

• Advanced sounds

In total there are 5 sound effects for the cars. The list are as follows:

Startup sound effect – When the player sits in the car
Advanced driving sound effect – When the player drives the car
Custom car damage sound – When the car is damaged / takes a hit 
Door closing sound effect – When the player closes the door
Door opening sound effect – When the player opens the door

This addon DOES NOT REQUIRE (any type of..) EXPERIMENTAL MODE.
