2009 Gullwing-America 300 SL Panamericana.





First introduced to the roads in 1954, is to be modified by Arturo Alonso and his company, Gullwing America. This time round it will be much more powerful, easier to handle and of course, it will feature all the mod-cons that one has come to expect from a vehicle of its caliber.

With an aluminum body constructed with aircraft composite technology and chassis made of powder coated steel, the car will be powered by Mercedes’ M-133-55 engine, wired to raise the horsepower to 370.

ACERBIS LYNEUS AUDIOVIDEO




Design: Lodovico Acerbis

Audio-Video cabinet in which all the electronic devices are concealed to appear "on demand" thanks to motorised opening systems. Actually, both the special loudspeaker (manufactured for Acerbis by DIAPASON) hidden in the top of the unit, both the shelf placed in the lower casing (to support DVD players, decoders, etc.) open and close automatically and simultaneously when switching on and off the TV. The unit is predisposed to integrate TV screens LCD/Plasma in different dimensions from 40" to 50", shielded behind a back-lacquered glass panel, allowing to see only the transmitted images and concealing the devices completely.
