[b]This is insane, you can make out the chop clearly somewhere in the middle of the side profile you can see a color change, the ME 4-12 is clearly evident, the SLR color is little duller than the ME 4-12 and guy tried his best to blend them together, unsuccessfully..

anyhow there is no way ME-4-12 will ever come out as a mercedes, it will probably come out as a dodge or a chrysler...and when it does..man will it kick some butt or what?

here is the pic of the ME -4-12 who are not familiar with it..



Cheers

Actually looks like the guy has also used some bit of the Porsche Carrera GT

in my opinion the so called "SLS" doesnt look any good..much rather have the SLR or the ME 4-12

ME and SLR are totaly to die for..

SLR+CGT+ME 4-12 = Equation for absolute hogwash. Even the background is from one of those early press pics depicting the SLR and the Gullwing together.

The ME 4-12 sounds like a PR type hype too. Will have to wait and watch.

Yup thats what I had said..its a chop but the ME I have seen in person and what a car...to die for..and ofcourse the performance is killer..

Chrysler is known for bring the prototypes into production so its just a matter of time..

The ME 4-12 might not be destined for production. I remember reading this somewhere, will try to look for it.

I don't see otherwise coming too. With the SLR having such a huge production run, i don't see why the DC group needs another supercar. Its a great looking car with impressive specs but that doesn't necessarily mean it'd head for production.
