So tilting as in cambering while cornering? Thats sweet....
I knew its gotta be a concept...it is just not practical enough to be made in production. But since MB is coming out with all that A/B/R and even the V class...I just cant tell what they will do next.....I dont like either of the new classes. I know my next car is def not a MB for sure.

I think the SL65 would lose its *** in the twisties against a car that can camber its wheels. Not to mention that the SL is already a pretty fat car.
