300SL 和两辆 934A 300SL and Two 934s
一辆 CMC 300SL Roadster，两辆 Exoto Porsche 934。A CMC 300SL Roadster and two Exoto Porsche 934s.
一直喜欢 300SL 修长又圆润的样子。CMC 这辆白色 Roadster 配着红内饰，车门打开，浅色方向盘和金属仪表台都露了出来。车身上细细的镀铬饰条，到座舱里变成仪表的边框和小旋钮。红、白之外的那一点亮，很衬这辆老奔驰。
提起 300SL，更出名的还是鸥翼门。它的管状车架沿用了赛车的结构，两侧太高，普通车门没有地方开，才有了那对向上掀的门。1957 年推出 Roadster 时，奔驰重新设计了车架侧面，降低门槛，也改进了后悬架。少了鸥翼门的戏剧性，却更方便上下车，也更适合日常驾驶。 Mercedes-Benz
原车后来还提供了可拆卸硬顶。这个顶做得好，后窗绕过两侧，车顶的弧线和圆润的车尾很合拍。装上以后，红色座舱被框在玻璃里面，白色多了一些，车也显得更文静。敞篷和硬顶的照片放在一起，两种样子都想留着。 Mercedes-Benz
两辆 Exoto 保时捷 934 就凶多了。934 从公路版 911 Turbo 发展而来，按 Group 4 规则保留了不少量产车的特征。车顶、车窗还是熟悉的轮廓，轮拱却向两边鼓出来，车尾被宽轮胎撑得很饱满。1976 年推出时，它的三升涡轮发动机已有约 485 公制马力。很喜欢这种还能认出公路车模样的赛车。 Porsche
白色 82 号的红黄花纹顺着轮拱走，把这个宽车尾衬得尤其好看。它复刻的是 Lubrifilm Racing 在 1979 年勒芒的赛车，拿了 Group 4 冠军，总成绩第四。排在前面的三辆全是 935，第三名只比它多跑了一圈。二十四小时跑下来，这辆 934 离总成绩的领奖台也就差这么一点。 Exoto · 82
红黄 9 号车上的 MOMO，和车手本人有关。Gianpiero Moretti 最初为了参加比赛，找人定制了一只方向盘，后来创办了 MOMO。生意做起来，他也没停下赛车。1977 年银石六小时赛，他和 Vittorio Brambilla 驾驶这辆 Jolly Club 的 934，拿下 GT 组别冠军，领先同组第二名两圈。 Exoto · 9 IMSA · Moretti
I have always liked the long, rounded shape of the 300SL. This white CMC Roadster has a red interior; through the open door, the pale steering wheel and metal dashboard are fully visible. The slender chrome trim outside finds an echo in the instrument surrounds and little knobs inside. Those touches of shine suit the red and white of this old Mercedes.
The 300SL is better known for its gullwing doors. Its racing-derived tubular frame had sides too high to accommodate conventional doors, so they had to open upward. For the Roadster’s introduction in 1957, Mercedes redesigned the frame’s sides, lowered the sills and revised the rear suspension. It lost the drama of the gullwing doors, but became easier to get into and better suited to everyday driving. Mercedes-Benz
A removable hardtop later became an option on the real car. It is a lovely shape, with a wraparound rear window and a roof curve that sits comfortably above the rounded tail. Fitted here, it frames the red cabin in glass and gives the white more room, making the car look quieter. Seeing the open and hardtop versions together, I want to keep photographs of both.

The two Exoto Porsche 934s look much fiercer. Developed from the roadgoing 911 Turbo, the 934 retained many production-car features under Group 4 rules. The roof and windows have familiar outlines, while the arches swell outward and wide tires fill out the rear. At its 1976 introduction, the three-liter turbo engine already made around 485 PS. I like racing cars whose roadgoing relatives are still so easy to recognize. Porsche
The red and yellow pattern on the white number 82 follows the arches and makes the broad rear look especially good. It reproduces Lubrifilm Racing’s 1979 Le Mans entry, which won Group 4 and finished fourth overall. All three cars ahead were 935s, with third place only one lap ahead. After twenty-four hours, this 934 had come that close to an overall podium. Exoto · 82
The MOMO name on the red and yellow number 9 has a connection to the driver himself. Gianpiero Moretti began by having a steering wheel made for his own racing car, then founded MOMO. As the business grew, he kept racing. At the 1977 Silverstone Six Hours, he and Vittorio Brambilla drove this Jolly Club 934 to the GT class win, two laps ahead of their nearest class rival.
