I love this car. It is beyond incredible. It is a departure from conventional Mercedes styling and some hardcore Mercedes enthusiasts don't like it but I love it. I think I have a new fantasy car. Scroll through all the pages. There is a neat shot of the engine. The Mercedes emblem is the cars air intake. Read the PDF article farther in too. That has got to be fun.

I'd love to see this car up against the new Porsche GT. It would be a close one. Both cars are awesome.

Gordon Murray is working on this car and given the success and prowess of the McLaren F1 that was nearly his entire creation... I am confident the Merc will be damn good also.

From Jay Leno's review on it (see Top Gear), it's a more 'livable' supercar than most... but still hauls ass.

They're all bastards and wouldn't know a good car if it ran over them. That car rocks! The Zonda, eh, just another dream car someone built that no one will ever see.

I should just quote myself again because of that. It certainly applies!

I'm gonna have to give it a thumbs down.
I was not impressed.... I think Mercedes had to much input over the design and development of the project.

Between this and the new Porsche GT I would take the GT.

But alas, I don't even like that car.... If I had the money I would get an F50.... If not my ultimate dream car, the McLaren F1!!

Later,
