Cool car for sure. I am not a fan of Mercedes usually but this in an exception. I have also never seen one on the road.

Nice shots too!

when i saw it pull up I immediately got out the camera. i asked him to pop the hood but he said he was in a hurry i wanted to see the engine bay of the v12 biturbo even if it was covered in plastic.

Good shots. Think about only sharpening the important parts of the image:

Nice, it's the Black series too.

Very sweet car, and the 660+ HP isn't bad either!

I don't know why it's up there, but it's retractable, it looks much better when it's flush with the deck lid.
