Curious to see how the carbon roof comes out. Are you going to create something that completely replaces the sheet metal (like a BMW M3), or a carbon lay over?

Indeed, in the background looks like a dinghy (tub like) on the left and an upturned canoe on the right.... So they could be into boat building too

Your no fun

I will assume it is a non-MB powertrain from mention of the the "mech gear 6" which I'm translating into "six speed trans"...

Car should be amazing.
