Correct me if I'm wrong, but that style is called "switchblade," right? And they were made fashionable by lamborgini in the 80's? Still a gimmic if you ask me....
Yep, 300 SL was the "gullwing" - which looked just like e gull's wings in cross-section ^^ This style was taken up by the seminal Lambo Countach - 1970s, and man was that a rad looking car in that era!

It is a gimmick on the ///M drei.
