Yea it's the same car, it's at motor werkz mercedes Benz of Hoffman estates Illinois, they are a certified RenTECH, kleeman, lorinser dealer according to their really really hot aftermarket sales rep. She was trying to show us the hybrid system but the batteries were dead and the trunk wouldn't open.

I thought I recognized the background...did they finish the reconstruction yet?

If the sales rep is the same one I'm thinking of...she is smoking!

It's a rally car, I thought it was ugly to till I got to see it in person and it screams performance. It has a sequential or whatever the race gear box's are called. Oh and that's not real paint but tape wrap to save weight somehow according to the rep.
