So we showed you Vitt Squalo Mercedes SL R230, and we showed you their R231
SL. It is now time to see these bad boys together and ponder how the
design of this styling kit has evolved over the years. This is natural
selection at work!
Granted, the evolution of Vitt Squalo
Mercedes SL has a designer and a creator, and the real evolution sort of
doesn’t. But the principle is the same. You have the kind of features
that worked for a time and for a particular car. As that model is
replaced by a superior one, you change those features and make them work
with the new stuff.
Now, some people may still prefer the old
design, which is fine, in the same way that some of the modern humans
are not only an improvement over their ape-like ancestors, they are even
worse. It is a good job then the R230 kit still looks rather
interesting. Yes, it’s old and kind of outdated, but on the upside it is
much more affordable than the new one.
The Vitt Squalo Mercedes SL R231 is not
perfect either, but in all honesty it is one of the nicest body kits we
have seen for this generation of the SL. The designers have addressed
pretty much all that was wrong with the original looks of the car and
reinforced its good parts. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
