A Sneak Peek At Mercedes Benz's European SLR Code Name Z199
Good Morning 001,

Attached are sneak preview photos of a future model of the SLR, named the Z199.

There are no plans to offer this vehicle in the U.S. market, but we thought it best to share them with you.

PHOTOCHOP!!! That's no future SLR. It's some RICE boy racer's tack-on-kit they buy from McLaren to put on their Viper.

Well, actually M-Benz is own by Chrysler-Daimler, so it's possible that the SLR will use the low tech Dodge's left over parts bin to build their next supercar as a joint venture again.

What is the purpose of this car? It looks like a club racer without many amenities.

Yeah, well there will be no A/C or power windows - like the old legendary 300 SL.

Hi, I didn't want to submit the same story twice, so I am posting in the comment section.

There is also a video of the vehicle at eMercedesBenz at the link below.

Have they designed this for a Disney theme park? What a nice bumper car.

Seriously, Mercedes should GIVE UP trying to break-even on the SLR, it is/was a supercar that was doomed from the start with a completely dated styling.

This attempt to sell some open-top units to a few hundred millionaires is pathetic. It looks like crap.
