Todas las subastas / Vehículos / Shmidt.Art - Mercedes-Benz - Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda - 1960s
A premium automotive poster dedicated to the Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda — an elegant 1960s roadster renowned for its exceptional proportions, refined engineering and unmistakable hardtop design. This artwork celebrates the 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL in silver grey with a rich oxblood-red interior, combining the car’s clean three-box proportions with detailed technical illustrations, front and side views, a driver-focused cockpit study, engine artwork, colour references and carefully arranged specifications. The warm ivory background and subtle aged-paper texture give the poster the character of a sophisticated Mercedes-Benz design archive. Clarity of Form, Precision of Purpose The Mercedes-Benz W113 Pagoda is one of the most recognizable and influential roadsters of the 1960s. Designed with a focus on balanced proportions, precise surfaces and restrained elegance, the 280 SL avoided unnecessary ornamentation while creating a silhouette that remains instantly identifiable decades later. Its distinctive name comes from the concave shape of the removable hardtop, which creates the characteristic pagoda-like roofline. This unusual design detail gave the W113 its unique visual identity while also contributing to the car’s structural and practical character. The 280 SL W113 The 280 SL represented the final and most powerful evolution of the W113 generation. It combined the roadster’s compact dimensions and elegant bodywork with a refined 2.8-litre inline-six engine and a comfortable grand-touring character. Designed for both open-air driving and long-distance travel, the Pagoda balanced sporting ability with Mercedes-Benz luxury and engineering quality. Smooth Inline-Six Engineering At the heart of the 280 SL is a 2.8-litre fuel-injected inline-six engine. The detailed engine illustration on the poster highlights the mechanical sophistication of the powertrain, while the specifications identify the front-engine layout, rear-wheel drive and four-speed automatic transmission. This combination gave the Pagoda a smooth, responsive and highly refined driving character, making it suitable for relaxed touring as well as spirited driving on winding roads. Timeless Mercedes-Benz Design The W113’s design is defined by its upright rectangular headlamps, slim chrome bumpers, wide Mercedes-Benz grille, long bonnet, short rear deck and carefully balanced cabin. The silver-grey bodywork is complemented by chrome trim, classic Mercedes hubcaps and the deep oxblood interior visible through the large glasshouse. The poster’s main illustration captures the 280 SL in a three-quarter view, while the surrounding front, side and rear drawings emphasize the car’s symmetry, proportions and precise geometric forms. A Driver-Focused Interior The lower section of the artwork presents a detailed cockpit illustration with a thin-rimmed steering wheel, classic round instruments, horizontal dashboard, manual gear selector and rich red upholstery. A separate seat study highlights the sculpted shape and period luxury of the Pagoda’s interior. The contrast between the silver-grey exterior, oxblood leather, ivory background and chrome details creates an especially elegant visual palette inspired by classic Mercedes-Benz colour combinations. Detailed Illustrated Composition The artwork includes: Large three-quarter illustration of the Mercedes-Benz 280 SL in silver grey Front view and detailed side profile Rear three-quarter illustration Driver-focused cockpit and dashboard study Separate oxblood-red seat illustration Detailed 2.8-litre inline-six engine drawing Classic Mercedes-Benz emblem and period graphic elements Silver grey, oxblood red, ivory and chrome colour palette Proportion and composition references Technical specifications and design notes Vintage-inspired typography and archival presentation The warm ivory background, silver-grey bodywork, oxblood interior and fine technical linework create a refined vintage aesthetic.
