Italian film star Sophia Loren was the proud owner of a rare Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing. The car of her choice was metallic silver with a soft, red leather interior. The 300 SL stood alone with its distinctive gullwing design, first-ever production fuel injection engine and at the time, the world's fastest top speed. Both Sophia and the Gullwing are remembered for their seductive curves, and both are endowed with exotic, unforgettable beauty.
