This is a category that Mercedes-Benz has had its sights on since the very beginning of the automobile. Now, Tesla runs free in the American market, even flaunting many features that Mercedes-Benz has been known for in its more than 100 years of service to the industry. Take, for example, the gullwing doors.<!--more--><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/blog\/2019-mercedes-maybach-luxury-coupe-concept\/\">Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6: 1930s throwback?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Mercedes-Benz Gullwing<\/h3>\n<p>The gullwing first made its debut into the automotive world with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/blog\/mercedes-benz-whensday-greatest-sports-car-20th-century\/\">1952 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL<\/a>. It is one of the most famous passenger vehicles in history and shaped the look for cars that came after such as the DMC DeLorean, Tesla Model X, and the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS GT.<\/p>\n<h3>Tesla Gullwing<\/h3>\n<p>If you are familiar with the Tesla brand, you know that the gullwing doors, or Falcon Wing Doors as Tesla calls them, are a little more advanced than the standard gullwing doors you will find on a Mercedes-Benz. This is all slated to change with the gullwing doors on the Vision Mercedes-Maybach V6.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefits of Gullwing Doors<\/h3>\n<p>The gullwing door started with one purpose. It makes a car look like a space ship. Since then, new benefits have come to light, such as the ability to open even when wedged in a tight parking spot. They also make it next to impossible to slam your fingers in the door, but they are hard to reach for children, taking away from the safety a little bit. Still, it seems that this may once again be the future of automotive luxury. What do you think?
