Saw this beast in Paris last week !

[easty027]

i was in paris with the wife recently for a bit of christmas shopping & sightseeing and we decided to pay a visit to the mercedes dealership on the champs elysees. This beast was tucked away at the back and the price tag - 900,000 Euros! . You dont even get a windscreen ?

I have to say though, far more dramatic to look at than a veyron by 100%, the bonnet is sooo long. Its like a mercedes batmobile.

what's the preformance spec?

Neat, but it would be like living with an Arial Atom. Def a show and Sunday car or museum piece.

Performance - you'd just have to count the dead flies on the drivers teeth to judge the combination of speed and grin factor

stig and his twin brother. they look like a bunch of twats!

and whats with the music... i thought porn music was bad!

I'd much rather have a Veyron!

Nice that black paintwork and long bonnet remind me of the Panoz Roadster that ran at Le-Mans a few years back

Saw a silver one of those being driven around the car park at the Pistonheads Meet @ Mercedes World a few weekends ago, its a crazy car and apparently of the limited production run all have been sold

 

[Ben.]

Ah, gutted. I walked past the Merc dealership in Paris last week but didn't think to go in

nice but still a piece of crap if you ask me. Rather have the SLR roadster - try hitting a stone on the freeway following some shitty Ford Fiesta at 100kmh...
