exhaust sounds pretty mediocre similar to other 63 engines. event looks like fun though.

i wont be buying one of these. the coolest thing going is the gull wing. i would imagine it's hard to park that thing in daily life thought. won't you need a ton of clearance on the sides?

I can't wait to see a black series version of this car as it will surely be stellar! Is there any confirmation that this car will be beat?

Being a GT car, what would you rather have, your V12 vantage or an SLS. IMO the v12 vantage/DBS is the benchmark in sporty GT cars these days.

The doors are hinged close to the center of the roof, so they actually dont take up much space on the sides when they open. The only small issue I would think is if your in a tight bay, you cant squeeze out, and you cant put your hand on the outer edge of the door to prevent bumping into the car opposite like you would in a conventional car.

Mmmmmmmm, Black Series! I think that Benz really succeeded with this car and what a beautiful sound it has! If they make a BS it would be such a monster! From the reviews I've read this thing can really handle as well as cover quite some ground.

ok,..thought about it..
It looked so planted everytime I saw it,the suspension actually has to be very stiff
now I'm a believer

Thanks for the pics.

I think MB did a great job with the aesthetics of the car. It looks simultaneously aggressive yet elegant.

Smokinsupra95 is an unknown quantity at this point
After attending 2 F1 races so far this season I can say that it's amazing to watch the pace car driver put his foot down. The car takes off and it's beautiful!
