Re: Mercedes' R8 knock-off!
TWO THUMBS UP !!! I really like this BENZY. I probably won't like the sticker price though.

I don't think it's real. something in the back of my head says this photo was floating around a couple years ago.

Re: Mercedes' R8 knock-off!
This really is very R8-like. Can you provide any info of the context where you found it? Is it a future model or merely a styling concept?
Very interesting. Thanks!

Re: Mercedes' R8 knock-off!
About a year ago it was reported that this would be a future model called the SLM, with a target price of around $169K. The "M" stands for "mid-engine".

Re: Mercedes' R8 knock-off!
Wow, total knock-off. Not too fond of the grill. Take away the Mercedes badge, and it looks like a Charger grill.
