Just figured you guys might like to see this gorgeous machine in action....

Damn thats ugly as sin.

Er.. gorgeous?

i like it, looks a little like the fuore concept.

could be worse

Not jaw dropping, but I've seen worse.

at least it looks better than a ford focus...

Personally I think its a sexy machine. The grill kicks ass imo. Then again, I think I'm a sexy machine...

that thing is very ugly and i'm sure extremely overpriced like all their cars...

looks like something out of a batman cartoon. i like the front, but the back's kinda fugly, and why doesn every fuckin' thing have to have altezza's?

I like it mostly because it actually looks different from everything else. I started a thread about this car awhile ago though......in the correct forum too!! :wink:

More pictures here! (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=413245)

Is it me or does the test driver not know how to buckle in. I figure if you can't or don't kow how to buckle in, you are not qualified to t4est drive such an expensive machine. Also, the front grille looks like they gave a bmw a fat lip and then stretched it. The rear looks way to weird for me.

TS out

Anyone else notice the unbelievable amount of understeer every time he entered a corner? :lol:

IMO, that is one of the ugliest cars ever made.

"Lord Vader, your car is ready..."

Its not too bad lookin... I'd never get one, even if i had the money... or would i? you tend to look at things differently when you're able to wipe your ass with benjamins.

Why don't people like this car? It's truly amazing...

I love the 1940's streamline era look.

IMO - that is lord vaders car or cruella devilles...

pretty bad ass looking car. Very vaderish, although i dont like that back end.

The reason people'll buy it is that its a revival of a legend.. though i dont like the fact that its a Mercedes :P

Now that's tight!

eeh... i like it. ain't too bad. grille a little goofy. kinda looks like an RX7 on crack to me

Yeh Man Agree With U :grinyes:

I think she's perrty. Seriously, i think it's pretty cool and i don't mind the back either, it all reminds me of batman, all it needs is the wings at the back. if i had the money i'd buy it and add the wings at the back and go around dressed as batman pretecnting to fight crime.

The car looks badass. The angular lines make it look real mean. It reminds me of the chrylser Phaeton concept from Gran turismo. Anyone remember? It does have ungodly understeer, but it moves in a straight line pretty good. I'd buy it.

i'm not surprised it has a lot of understeer, it weighs well over 3 tons with a huge V12 out front, but with twin turbos and 700 horsepower, i'm sure it's nothing a little extra throttle can't fix :)
i was actually pretty impressed at how flat it cornered for how heavy it is.

as for the styling, very dynamic. i like to think of it as darth vader's version of the batmobile. it's sleek and aggressive. futuristic but with a 1940s-esque shape.

this thread reminded me of car and driver's test of the maybach 57 and i went back and reread it. absolutely amazing vehicle. it has every luxury feature you could imagine, plus some that you probably haven't. pushing 20ft long and over 6000 lbs, it hits 60 in 4.9 seconds! and that's with "only" 543hp. the exelero seems to match the dimensions and weight of the 57, but it has 700hp and almost twice as much torque as the 57!

"Lord Vader, your car is ready..."

You are very right indeed :grinyes:


This thing sucks real hard. I tell you I would really prefer the ford focus... Just watch how slow it corners. It's a cow in a horse race...

It's a cow in a horse race...

Kinda like the R-GT :grinno:

what a ridiculous looking car.

id sell it if i had it. looks like itd be real fun to park.
