I thought I was the only one thinking of that. Unifying GTE and GT3 fell through, despite both cars now performing similarly on track, nearly costing the same (except for the Porsche maybe) and both allowing waivers.

I have seen this somewhere before, but in a classier version...

Well, admitting that they stopped this project in favor of Audi/VW making them the offer with the Cayenne and therefore cleaning the Le Mans field of any serious competition would devalue some of the Audi Le Mans wins.

I love how Porsche still denies this car's existence, even now that they came back.

Dear Mr. Glickenhaus,

They actually can build the 3series, 5series, 7series and Rolls Royce Ghost on the same assembly line.

Define driven... I drove a M6 Coupe with the competition pack once in a parking lot, but that was nothing over 30 kp/h and it took 2 minutes. As for proper driving, that would be a friends E36 M3 Coupe.

AMG's default Keyboard setting has capslock turned on. That's why their cars are so bonkers.

McNish also walked away from this one in 2011:

That's a possibility, it certainly isn't Le Mans ready yet if it looks like the picture above.

So a road going version of the mid-engined LMP?

I'm sold just because Glickenhaus is making this show. A man that commissioned a piece of art like the P4/5 and then went ahead against all Ferrari protest to build a race car for the fans hosting a show about beautiful cars - totally gonna watch.

Well, Mercedes also withdrew from all racing after LeMans 55, only to come back some time later. And that after an accident that took the lives of 84 people compared to no fatal injuries with the CLR. It also would be fitting to prove that they can build something that doesn't kill or fly (if we exclude the…

Yeah, but so far it worked. The SLR was the only daily driveable vehicle of that supercar era (Carrera GT, Zonda, Enzo, MC12,...) while being really fast and spectacular.

Exactly. If I recall correctly, there have been 4 non-front engine cars by Mercedes if we exclude the recent F1 cars: the pre WWII Heckmotor car family, C111 and C112 concepts and the CLK-GTR.

For what specifically?

I bet you 50 Dogecoins that Mercedes isn't coming back. Here's why:

Probably, but the performance still would be poor if we look at what the same amount of money could buy.

That looks kinda cool. Weird, but cool.
