Nor is the "Chia-car" photography of the side profile.

I find it laughable that site lists the monthly payment ($24k, give or take). I mean, if you have to actually FINANCE something like that...

I'd expect a $1.8 million car to not have an instrument panel bezel that's more clouded up than the one on my F-100 that's been siting outside for the last 40 years.

Fugly in a Porsche GT1 way - from the same era, and for the same rules of homologation. A classic piece of machinery, but neither are the cars I would build my collection of über-exotics around.

So true but this would ring someone bell with the cash to buy it.

Just think. This thing will probably languish in someones private collection and wont be driven for years at a time.

I would kick the tires of every McLaren F1 & 911 GT1 on the market before I even considered that car.

Here's probably the only way I'll ever be able to enjoy these cars:

I've just got to say it:

The hood ornament looks way out of place on that car. If ever there was a Mercedes that should have the star grill and didn't, this is it.

You adjust the steering column and pedal cluster

People who would buy the AMG likely already have one

I've always liked the way these look.

Kind of like looking at the pic of Eva Longoria...knowing it'll never be mine removes my ability to be critical.

On the other hand, I could easily afford a well set up 944.
