Exterior and Interior
The Ciento Once will come with a body made out of high-grade aluminum and an electrically operated rear adjustable wing. Other elements that will be added to this one-off vehicle include a swooping front hood, front spoiler with large air intake, a rear diffusor, and of course, those gull wing doors.
Comparing it to the 1970 Mercedes-Benz C111 from which it was based on, the Ciento Once will come with a slightly shorter wheelbase at 103 inches while maintaining the same weight � around 1,400 kg � as its inspiration. The one-off car also runs on GWA Type A wheels, 19X9 front and 20X11 rears, with 265/35/19 and 295/30/20 rubber.
As for the interior, GWA Tuning gave the Ciento Once a modern take while also taking into account a vintage retro feel. Modern items include carbon fiber seats covered in plaid, an instrument panel that�s been modeled after a W120R MB, modern dashboard accents, illuminated door sills, and brushed AMG aluminum pedals.
Performance
GWA Tuning certainly made sure to give the Ciento Once an engine worthy of its one-off status. Housed in a tubular space frame chassis, the car�s power plant is derived from a M120 Mercedes V12 engine that produces a robust 408 horsepower and is mated to a six-speed Cima H-type transaxle and a special tuned exhaust. Even better, the car�s powerful engine can be seen through a glass on the rear deck, making for some nice �ooohing� and �aaahing� from passersby.
Pricing
No word yet on how much it�s going to cost, but considering it�s most likely going to be a one-off vehicle, there�s a very big chance that it�s going to come with a steep price tag. How steep? Well, we wouldn�t be surprised if it punches a number north of six digits.
Competition
Scoff if you want, but if you�re in the market for a one-of-a-kind Mercedes with gullwing doors to rival your neighbor�s SLS AMG, then GWA Tuning�s Ciento Once is the perfect candidate for that. Just make sure you call �dibs� on the car before everybody else.
