Correct! But it is powered neither by Mercedes nor by V12, because it' only a rendering at this moment.

I like it :) But it should be Ciento Once (111 in Spanish) not Ciento One.

It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

It's an icon of my childhood and icons shouldn't be redesigned or pimped out. (my very subjective opinion)

Interesting article from this week's issue of UK publication Classic Car Weekly:

According to this article it seems that it is a real car, although I must say to me it looks like it could be just a scale model!

The originals are almost always the best. There is some benefit, however, in introducing some of today's wings n' rims fanboys to the classics, in a roundabout way.

:disbelief: I'm almost sure this car has never been yet in any form and exists only as the CAD renderings. The same company, previously known as Gullwing America, has(d) plans for the Panamericana (SLS-based something  :yuck:)
