2011 Merc Gullwing

Just picked up the lates automobile mag..they have alot of concept stuff in this issue
This was on the cover. The new Gullwing. The mag states it is the SLR replacement and is slated for 2011. A version with 1000hp might be in the works.
The car is aupposedly being made by AMG and Not McLaren. Apparently the SLR isn't selling as well as MB had hoped.
I think it's **** good looking..although remeber this is a photoshopped pic

Oh yes. I'd take the original over the new one every day of the week. I love those cars.

Thanks for posting that classic pic Zoran... I had forgotten about the MB Gullwings.

Bringing back the wings would be sweet!

I salute you for having the guts to say that. Most people won't, even though they and God know it's an ugly POS.

I had a Hot Wheels version of this one when I was a kid. Wish I still had it...
