Likin' the retro single slat grille.

hks786 · 07-31-2008, 05:48 AM

- new panels, it loses viper body. you can even see the Merc grille behind the camo!
- gullwing doors obviously
- appears to be a front mid-engine layout
- expected to be 6.2 V8 TT

Husseindesign ftw, hahaha. The guy is amazingly talented, and his one weakness seems to be headlight/taillight design. It's very basic usually.

I love these ones too:

I am sure its going to be great car but ruined by Mercedes by not letting you get a proper 6 speed. It is a sports car afterall right?

eh, not really. i find MB to not have a crystal clear direction when it comes to their tuning philosophy. Yes, they slot big engines to their cars suggesting sport, yet they slot the 6.2 v8 in the R-class... srsly... a 500bhp minivan?

SLR was in the same situation... fast as hell with a CF body... but with leather, radio, auto tranny... is it a sports car? or a GT car? who knows... i highly doubt this car will come with a manual transmission.

one day merc engineers will die and they will be forced to hire somebody who pulls the trigger on manual transmissions again

1 word...WOW...cant wait to see more of the bodywork/interior. I hope some sketches or something are leaked. Looks great so far! I wonder what beast it has under that hood too

they really do build all kinds of cars , not like assholes at bmw who need 10 year to realise one project , how many years will take to build the CS , new Z models , a supercar.....when put out a new 5 series why not present an M5 at the same time , not next year. u have to wait for a top end model for a year , thats stupid for me

Kiemyster · 08-16-2008, 11:49 AM

i think the concepts are so good that now the actual thing will just be less impressive.
