There's an auto show going on in Essen, Germany, this week, and this apparent Gullwing dragster is on display there.
The car bears no actual relation to the original 300SL, apparently, as it has a fiberglass body and, we're told, a 6.9-liter Chevy V8 supposedly good for 1,050 horsepower. Its creator, a Swiss man named Stefan Winter, says it runs low-8 quarter-miles.
You can watch a video of the Gullwing on the dragstrip after the jump.
