The torque of the small 3.0-liter engine is incredible, and it's
difficult to understand where it comes from until you realise
that the injection system is constantly pouring gasoline into
the cylinders at a rate that carburetors can't equal. With the
usual rear-axle ratio, fourth gear provides smooth, consistent
acceleration from 15 to 140 mph! It's more than capable of
dealing with city traffic and even hauling steep slopes. Third
fits practically all requirements for ferocious acceleration and
quick hill-climbing.
The unique spaceframe was a lightweight framework with
exceptional rigidity, weighing only 50 kilos. The sole
disadvantage was that it was incompatible with standard doors
due to the greater height at the sills. The invention of
upswinging "Gullwing" doors by Mercedes-Benz engineers
solved this difficulty. Making it into the modern-day icon that it
is.
