    Sequential ≠ Automatic.

    Name one modern GT racer that has a torque converter.

    I don't see why they would need to do anything with the engine either - since when was 650PS not enough in a 1300kg car?

    Oh, I know it wouldn't even remotely hit FIA GT standards. But that's really awkard to place an automatic in a race car like that.

    The guy who found it caught it be accident. Mercedes plans to release an official announcement very soon, probably just a few days now.

    I think the dealership put it out in the open by mistake. That's only logical explanition. MB would never let something like this go unnoticed...


    Those are the only pics of this car so far btw.

    Looks good in the pics, would be nice to see an overall picture of the whole car without the watermarks, etc. I wouldn't turn down a lap in it.
