Not sure what MB I just saw
 
Spotted on the freeway yesterday, never seen it before and didn't get a chance to take a picture/video.

-From the back I initially thought it was a C300/C350, except that the mufflers are "encased" in the bumper, rather than sitting under the car.

-No badging on the back except for the MB symbol and some word in italics on the right, couldn't get close enough to read it

-There was some kind of air intake thing going on behind and following the shape of the front wheel

Any ideas?

are you sure it was an MB?

that was the first thing i thought of with italic badging and exhaust tips in the bumper..

Definitely wasn't a Maserati. Was -very- similar to C300/C350 body and styling. Also had the MB symbol on the trunk, though we all know that isn't the best indicator.

Just did some Google image searching....the air in/outtake was somewhat similar to the first picture below, maybe just not as 'aggressive' (at least from my vantage point)?

But the exhaust/mufflers were -not- similar to the 2nd picture, they were much closer to those in the 3rd picture below.

Sounds like a C63 Black Series to me.

Exhaust maybe, but no air in/outtake on the Lorinser.

Possible, but I could have sworn the one I saw had 4 doors.

$h!t. I've seen some aftermarket fenders on here that have vents behind the front wheels, but I don't remember where I saw them. Doesn't explain the exhaust, but it could just be a tuned/heavily modded 300/350. :nix:

Yeah that's what I'm starting to think at this point myself.

Sure it wasn't a new CLS 63? From a distance, they match your description.

Where on Earth did you see this? Maybe it was a AMG mule of this W205 prototype/rendering?

Yeah definitely not this. I got as close as 7-10 car lengths away and even at that distance I initially thought it was another C300/350.

Heading towards downtown Los Angeles on the 110N.

Yeah the "Wald International" pictures I posted were the closest looking so far.

Stevedotmil 05-28-2012 08:33 AM

Heavily modded C Class I'm guessing. Someone pieced some stuff together to make a combo they liked.

graphix1998 05-28-2012 05:31 PM
