The TomTom did it.
I visited the Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart over the last couple of days. I must be by far the worst photographer in the world, so I apologise if the pix are shitty, but they are lookable
By the way, the car in black camo bodykit is a prototype model that Mercedes uses. It is called the Sound Car and inside it there are computers that simulate the driving characteristics of different models. One of their personnel spotted me peeking into the glass walls, so he opened it up for me and my friend and gave us a tour of it. Amazing! First, there was an initialisation phase when it plays back the various noises in a car, like the windows, door close, engine start. the seats, steering wheels, the whole car vibrates just so well if you closed your eye, you simply wouldnt believe the car was stationary. And then, it played the engine start and acceleration simulation of a mercedes benz racecar from the early years (dont remember the name of the car the guy mentioned) and then of the new S class.
He said the car was a prototype model, and hence it has a button-on body kit rather than camo stickers to hide its actual shape. He didnt let me take any photos of the interior, but rest assured it was futuristic.
