Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren

Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren - Standard Schmandard
After looking at the GT 722 version of this car last post I thought I would re-look at the original car. I mean look at the photo - its stood next to one huge great lump of rock, very mercedes - but also very 'vulture corpse' I mean look at it. If I sat 1000 English designers down and said to each of them design me a fast car - not one would look anything like this. The only way I could get a drawing of similar brute ugliness out of them is if I had gathered them together and then said 'draw me a dead vulture.'
You can see from the specs though that the GT car is essentially this car....lol
