I have seen it in real life at the miami boat show and it is FUGLY. The lines dont flow, Front looks old while the rear looks futuristic. Interior was good though.

Just a thought;
what if for some reason the safety car was to turn over? they wouldn't be able to get out or would the doors act as a self righting mechanism as in robot wars lol.

Mercedes thought of that, so they added explosive bolts in the hinges.

Gangster or what!

He didn't specify a roll over accident. :wink: :mrgreen:

And there are more than 'one', most of them are on a comical level, including the one where Heidfeld smashes through the door of the SC.

I Think the Mercedes is class. It doesnt "conform" to the supercar rule book.
Wether you hit your head on the doors or not those "wings" add character.
An R8 is more attractive, but the Mercedes has far more character and road presence.
