Mercedes SLR designs that just didn't make it

Autoweek recently issued some spy shots of the new SLR.  Personally, I think the car needs more stuff hanging off.




(I dig the threshing combine rear end. This will play big to the corn farmers of the midwest.)

(If you look closely, you'll see a cappucino button as well as a "ludicrous speed" switch. The tach even says "plaid".)

Where are the Ferrari Testarosa-like side strakes?

Well done!
