That car is stupid as hell. If the hood didnt have those bulges in it it would be alot cooler. But i like my cars to look clean. Unless you got the big supercharger out the hood.

Repost and I thought I read somewhere that it is a fake. But maybe that was never proved. I don't know, either way its pretty freakin' sweet.

Your opinion is false.

It's fully real. Gotta love insane custom projects :)

I'm not sure on any specific numbers, but I believe he said it was noticably much faster than his SLR or something like that :). I think the engine in the SLK was tuned to around 660hp or something like that. Scary.

An SLK would have been lighter wouldn't it?

If I had the money I'd make 200mph lada.

it'd be better if the guy changed the suspension as well... rite now the front of the car look so heavy it's almost touching the ground..
the hood holes exposing the engine is a little odd, gonna be really bad for aerodynamics..

and why the freak is that poster surprised at the the RWD?? he sounds like "OMFG the SLK is RWD!!!11!!one!1!"

it must be such a pain to drive around a track though. with all that weight in the front, it must have the worst weight balance.

This isnt his track car. He owns many, much better cars to run on a track, this is mearly a little two seater to zip around in.

C32 AMG with 500hp


so it's not probably C32 but rather something like C55

i'm not sure if we're talking about the same sultan but the guy has about 5 F50's, F40's and enzo's, also 2 ferrari mythos and couple of dauer's 962. he has about 5000 cars in his collection
