Guys, you have to go to this site and check that car out.:

www.mercedes-benz.com/d/cars/slr/special03/default.htm

Now don't tell me this car doesn't have a very well known look for us, specially the back side of it.

Hey, i know this is worth 8 times what our RX-8 is but the silhouette, the red interior insert, the look from the side....


I WANT ONE OF THOSE TOO !!!!

I love the start button!

Sadly, I'll never be able to afford one in this life ... and without back seats I could never take the wife and kids along with me ...

;)

You know.... we can all dream about it though. And to see David Coulthard drive away steeling it....kinda cool. He's my son's favorite F1 driver.

hey did anyone see that article in an American car mag recently (R&T, i think) that said that Mercedes will probably buy McLaren by 2007? The article hinted that:
--McLaren would be Mercedes' Ferrari-fighter
--There would be 3 models...
----The F3--The 360 Modena equivalent
----The F2--The 575M equivalent
----And *drumroll please* the successor to the F1--with 650 bhp coming from an engine with minimal friction parts allowing it to rev into 5 figures (sort of sounds like a rotary, huh? certainly not though...) Would be the enzo competitor

Anyway, the new F1 sounds like quite a car. >10000 rpm in a streetcar! YEAH! :D

After looking around the Mercedes site a little bit, I think I found our missing HP! The '04 SL600 took it! According to their page on this car...

The SL600 is superbly designed for the sport of driving. Its twin-turbocharged V12 engine generates 493 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque that rockets you from 0 to 60 in just 4.5 seconds.

Yikes!!!!

I wonder if the owner cares if it's only good for 5 mpg !!

I prefer the Mercedes F400 Carving.

It's only a prototype, and I doubt they'd sell it to the public, but the Active Camber Control is all worth it.

3.4L v6 provides good kick, but when was the last time you had a car with responsive camber changes on turns to handle 1.28gs?
