Quote of Note | Gorden Wagener
From left to right, a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Alloy Gullwing and the new SLS AMG.
“Everybody likes classic cars. Why is that? The 300 Gullwing was one of our most iconic cars and, of course, there is some nostalgia involved, but there are also a lot of shapes and details there that humans find attractive. I think that is key to good car design: to capture the emotion in the shape and at the same time capture some of the intellectual components of the car.”
–Gorden Wagener, design chief at Mercedes-Benz
