I think the weirdest thing is that it is stationary but the speedo seems to indicate that it is travelling somewhere around 120km/h. Maybe its a time travel car and doesnt actually go anywhere?

its an obvious photoshop.

front end off the W220 S-Class, the grill from a R170 SLK, the rear panels look like a blend between the CLS and CL

Isn't it just a Merc concept car from yonks ago?

I would say before the previous model S class was released. Gave people a preview of the new headlight shape etc

Spot on. It actually is a concept vehicle Mercedes pursued, labelled the F 200 Imagination. The project was undertaken in '96. Not just a photoshop.

Yeh not bad. Still think the Holden Hurricane concept was amazing. Phenominal for the late 60's. It featured pretty advanced technology for it's time with features such as electronic digital instrument displays, station-seeking radio, rear vision provided by a CCTV screen, oil cooled front disc brakes etc... not to mention the mid mounted 253 V8.

Id rather have one of these;
Aussie built 70's Supercar, powered by steam. FANTASTIC economy and performance.
Called the GVANG (google it).
Bloke and family was threatened by oil companies, lost all interest, closed shop and went into hiding.

In that time, MOST cars that type looked the same. :)

Apparently the engines gone walkabout but the car is somewhere in the blue mountains in someones garage.

Sad.
