Why? :)


It just seems like it would be more expensive to build one than to just buy one. I can see something like a Pantera maybe, or something classic and rare, but I don't understand why for a new car.

The SLR is a concept car, you can't buy one.

Wow that's uber frigging retarded. He should slit his own wrists, but not before he kills anybody else driving a kit car that tries to make itself into something it isn't.

I imagine they spent a lot doing it, but then again they do have the only one that exists outside of Mercedes' development facilities.

Of course the illusion disappears the moment you lift the hood, but it's a damn good replica.
