Ha ha, probably they removed the electric seats and aircon.

What a waste of time.

That said, that engine is, in road tune at least, very reliable so perhaps endurance racing will suit it. Although it seems you need a V12 diesel these days.

In that it's a Mercedes?

I dont mind it.... the rear diffuser could look and work so much better on a road car... the racing unit just looks ugly .... other then that, I don't mind this body-kit at all

As far as needing a v12 diesel to win in endurance racing.... lest we forget how the LMP2's in ALMS have totally DOMINATED the LMP1 Audi Diesel's this season with their smaller displacement, n/a engines

Never heard of this car either, but it looks pretty mean. I'd love to see this on a racetrack. Any info of any mods to the engine?

I'm most impressed that this cars shows up at a dealer and nobody, not even rumour came up before ( at least to my knowledge, also carpassion didn't had a clue)

respect to keep it "confidential"

about the car,
let's race them together
Fxx vs MC12 Corsa vs ZOndaR vs LSR GTR vs R-GT

Heh, nice touch of plaid on the interior

and all this for the low price of 775,000 Euros! :shock:

I'm assuming this car isn't street legal?
