I really hope this thing is good. about 1500kg and 600hp+ with wet clutch auto.

I will wait for an uncamoed version before I make any comparison, but I do see what you mean with the Z8 look.

I don't know how you guys can see the Z8.

This is going to be a GT, not a pseudo-sportscar, and I hope MB aren't claiming anything else. Certainly has the hood of a proper GT.

looks interesting.

On a related note, I've just seen some spy shots of another Mercedes Benz, supposedly the SLR Speedster, race spec-one

http://www.hln.be/static/FOTO/pe/0/1/2/large_457862.jpg

I think it looks hideous compared to the gullwing one.

I don't see how you can make any comments about the appearance with it being heavily camo'ed like that.

I just saw a Z8 and this really looks a lot like one. Has MB often used Munich registration plates on their prototypes? They seem to be imitating BMW a lot with this one.images/smilies/tongue.gif

I have an inside source within Mercedes Benz, and I was told that just before the Chrysler split, merc took I think 8 Vipers as some sort of a mule/test bed for this car they are developing, a transaxle sportscar. No wonder it looks like a viper, I bet it is a Viper body with shit removed and worked on.
