Inspired by the classic 300SL. This car was the fastest in its day and its beauty and simplicity drove me to build a replica of the car below:

I started by developing a custom framework with 2 l-motors for drive and a narrower chassis with a nimble turning radius. All of the classic features were motorized with the Lego power functions. Blending old and new Technic Lego pieces to create this black beast :wink:

Very nice, the front is really well done.
Small comment about the back windshield (where you have the infrared receivers)
Isn't it possible to make it a little more "round" by using flexes instead of the two bent liftarms?

the front is not really the best part of the MOC...

To be honest I don't recognize the original model ... look the proportions of the radiator grill : it goes nearly from one light to the other.
The real bumper is very delicate and thin, your MOC looks like a Gotham City 300SL ! :lol:

I tried to create a better looking back end to this car. That was difficult due to all of the batteries, motors etc.
Anyway, here is the revised rear end and video below:

So, for now, I think you will have to choose between design and PFS ...

Yes, very true Bayou.
I am torn between the mechanical functions and the motorized ones.

What does PFS stand for?

Power FunctionS.

in French, we generally use "PFS" instead of just "PF".

Is that so ?

Never read/heard anything like this on a French forum.

Whatever.
