Icon meets Icon – The Andy Warhol Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing


In 1986, Daimler-Benz commissioned legendary pop art icon Andy Warhol to produce a series of original artworks to tell the story of the automobile. Infused with Warhol‘s signature style, striking color schemes and unmistakable passion, the now world renowned “Cars“-series was born – which even in its incomplete state immortalized a wide range of historic classics like never before. In the book: “Frank Oleski. Series Sports Cars from 1945-1980”, Warhol found his first motif. Pictured in large format on pages 94 and 95 in front of a vast landscape, a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing with the chassis number 198.040-5500629 and license plate “EI – DR 1”.

At BRABUS Classic, every car tells a story – this story is truly unique. It is the original. The one and only. The very car Andy Warhol selected to merge the worlds of revolutionary pop art and automotive history. Today, after 4,500 hours of determined manual work and expert attention to detail as part of the BRABUS 6-Star-Restoration, this piece of automotive and modern art history once again shines in the same timeless elegance it made famous when it first rolled off the production line nearly 70 years ago. Experience history. Experience the spirit of Avant-Garde.
