Gull Wing Group International

Gull Wing Group International was founded in 1961 by enthusiasts of the 1954-1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. The organization has an international membership of approximately 600 members from 25 countries. In 2020, the GWG board voted on formally inviting Mercedes- Benz SLS AMG owners to become members. Inviting the SLS owners into the GWK exposes the 300 SL model to younger car enthusiasts. The SLS was designed to be a modern Gull Wing revival. Mercedes produced 11473 cars from 2010 to 2015. The GWG has held driving events every year other than 2020. It also holds an annual convention featuring technical sessions and driver's education, and social events. The club set a new Bonneville Speedway F/GT speed record in 2016 in a 300 SL, establishing a new mark for 3L Sports cars of 190.759 mph.
