Outlook

A mountain could be here today, but not tomorrow. We forget that the wind has power to sand them down and whittle them away. No matter how beautiful art is needled into the flesh, a dragon, a wolf, an anchor, a koi, there will come a time, it will come off the bone and bind with dust. Or how gorgeous and sleek a red sports car under the sun, it will one day turn into rust. So too…

 “Last One” 

1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing,

 "The Last One." Chassis number 7500079 rolled off the production line on May 15, 1957.

The 300 SL Gullwing wasn't just a car. It was Mercedes-Benz showing the world what happens when German engineers decide to build art. 

Under the bonnet sat a 3.0-liter straight-six that was essentially a racing engine with road manners. It produced 240 horsepower, which might sound modest by today's standards, but in 1954, that was enough to make it the fastest production car in the world. 

It could hit 60 mph in under 10 seconds and reach 163 mph flat out - numbers that would embarrass many modern sports cars.

Only 1,400 examples of the coupé were built during the three years it was in production.

i still get fascinated by how jannik and carlos are the opposite of each other on court and how they are sometimes like that off court too. jannik rides a little vespa bike to his training wearing the most average looking helmet one can possibly find, and meanwhile carlos drives a BRIGHT RED BMW 2 SEATER

Fiat Abarth 750 Coupé, 1956, by Viotti. The Turin-based carrozzeria built a few hundred of these Michelotti-designed coupés based on the rear-engined Fiat 600 chassis. A small number (described as a "handful") were tuned by Abarth with the engine enlarged to 747cc allowing a maximum speed of 135kph
