This is very exciting news. The last time the Silver Arrows were dominant in F1 Mercedes gave us the world's first hypercar in the Gullwing and ended with the legendary 300SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe. This car could be very, very special.

Carbon tub with a high-revving turbo 6 paired with electrification, KERS, active aero, 4 wheel steering, carbon brakes, active engine mounts, and a lightning quick transmission for a 'Ring time around 6:50 with those iconic Gullwing doors? I'll take mine in Silberpfeil Silver.

How about a team racing some prototypes in the Tudor IMSA series ? The advertising and exposure would be a fraction of the cost of Formula 1 and reach more in the US market ...
