Ineptitude01 Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 I'm trying to figure out which part of that car MB actually designed. I think it was the ludicrously large emblem, gullwing doors, and peripheral parts of the engine. Everything else looks like parts of another car. Headlights from a 350Z, LED unders from an Audi, weird swooshy vents from a Chrysler... Now, don't get me wrong, I still kinda want one...

Ineptitude01 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 The thread title is a bit trollish. I didn't mean for it to be, heheh. I was looking at this car on the Benz website today, and it just struck me that it looked REALLY similar to that image, and I know that the Z concept predates this thing by a while. I wonder if it's possible at all that the design team saw that picture, or if the styling cues are so ubiquitous these days that everyone's on the same bandwagons. Food for thought, and I thought it was pretty funny. If it's honestly offensive, maybe a mod can change the title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG58 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) The SLS AMG was designed alongside the new viper during the old Daimler-Chrysler years. When they separated and Chrysler went bankrupt the new Viper went away and what you see before you is the remaining example. Whenever you find a new Z car that will have a 6.2L, 518hp dry sumped motor and weighs close to what the 350Z weighed, you let me know Edit: From wiki: 350Z Curb weight 3168lbs-3602lbs. SLS AMG Curb weight: 3600lbs. If you look for it, you can find the SLS amg underpinnings in spy photo's sporting some rather poor fitting viper body panels.

josh817 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Lol trolling is when you stir up the mucky water. You didn't offend anyone. Personally, it looks a bit big and the rear almost gives me terrible memories of a Jaguar XJS... Couldn't resist: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG58 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Josh is right. The ass of the car is hideous. Maybe they consulted bangle after BMW Dispatched him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
