Searching the internet, I've found a number of failed SLs. I've decided to share the worst of the worst with you. I honestly can't comprehend how some of these projects ever got off the ground-- you would figure someone would say something to the project leader: his wife, his kids, God, his dog, SOMEONE.

Anyways, enjoy (or not)...

Number One:



To view the extent of that failure, please see here. I urge you to not be consuming any beverages or food while viewing as it may pose a chocking hazard. Go to the bottom of the page and click to photo reel.

Number Two:



Good job on ruining a classic, you douche!

To view some more "swagger", as it were, please click here. If anyone has anymore regarding this vehicle, please feel free to share.

Number Three:



That's all I got on that SL-- seems like someone has been watching too much Fast and Furious for their own good. If anyone has any more info in regards to this piece, please post away!

Number Four:



Not sure what bright designer at some 3rd world tuning company is taking the hit for this piece, but there it is anyways. Follow the link for more fail.

Number Five:



Uuhh... there go the Saudis again-- too much money, not nearly enough taste.

Number Six:



Wasn't sure what to classify that as-- CL or SL, so I'll just leave it to FAIL. Yet again.

If anyone has any more gems they would like to post, feel free. I always love to see new creations, even if they were done by blind designers.

that last one on the tv is the worst!

I have to clean the puke off my keyboard now. Those are some butt ugly cars.

Akademiks

Hilarious.

i hope to god the gullwing is only a wrap... and the cl chop top isnt a bad idea (if done right). i always wondered what that car would look like as a drop.

nonetheless... some fugly *** cars

Benz-O-Rama

OH. MY. GAWD.

I'll admit, I kinda like the lambo doors on a nicely modded SL, but WTF is going through these people's mind when they're building these cars. UGH.

I actually like the drop top CL, I think if it was a factory job it would be sick... reminds me of the bentley.

GFEAR

I'M JUST KIDDING! nice to see somebobdy who shares my love for the best tv's on earth, pioneer and pioneer elite

GFEAR

i actually dont hate the red coupe

sound 8

My wife likes the blue one!
now you know why I don't take her to showrooms, she particularly liked the
wheels

GFEAR

THATS GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE!

Who has a picture of that pink SL63 from a while back? Anyone remember it?

Akademiks

Yeah, the CL I would've liked if only the drop had been integrated better-- and a nicer set of wheels wouldn't hurt either. It looks as if they designers got lazy towards the end and decided to just leave the drop bulging over the trunk. And as for the Gullwing... what a shame. Sadly, I don't think it's a wrap.

Akademiks

Yeah, the Lamborghini-style scissor doors look cool-- but other then that, the first car is the worst I believe. They have badges INSIDE the car! IDIOTS.

Akademiks

I just think you would look like a huge tool rolling around town with your roof parachuting your every step because it's sitting right on top of your trunk-- (also) possibly obstructing your view from rear-view mirror.

Akademiks

So was I lol! I forgot the " " after "Hilarious"! I realized you were kidding from your little smiley face.

And yes, ELITE FTW!!! The TVs are simply amazing. I always had an Elite of some sort hanging from my wall.

Akademiks

I hate companies who take regular cars and attempt to make them their own. Fisker too... I like my Mercedes to stay... a Mercedes.

Maybe your colors are off on your computer screen. Re-calibrate and allow a second opinion.

I know of two, not sure which you were referring too but enjoy anyways:

Number One:



Yeah, real classy there Clouseau.

Number Two:



I think it's just a rendering, but an ugly one still.

This car was done for the Essen Motorshow. It was clad in 50,000 Euro worth of Swarovski Crystal... bling bling...

-m

Akademiks

So that's not vinyl? I thought it was just sticker'd to hell and back. Guess it's a bigger waste then I originally thought. Did you happen to see it in person?

Obviously not SL.....but still....really??

Thericker

Bro you missed the shot w/lights on side-view looks like a 16 yr old kid won $100k went hog wild @ local Audio/wheel store w/used SL500

Fast & Furious Hack-Saw steering wheel mod lol!! All important boost guages mushrooming outt've cluster on N/A V8

Akademiks

Oh no, I didn't missed a thing! Like I said in my first post, follow the link and clink the bottom of the page photo reel for more fail

Jesus, the work on the car is absolutely ridiculous... I have just one question: WHY!? I know it's an SL500, but why...? He put the "bling" badges on the passenger side. Have you seen the rear? Not sure they finished entirely, the exhaust looks to be hanging out a bit? For some reason the page refuses to load for me at this point, but if you've seen it you know what I mean... hideous creation. hogwild ahahahahaha lmfao

Thericker

Can you imagine making (3) point turn w/that PS3 steering wheel w/Date in tow

Akademiks

ahahahahahahahahaha

Who honestly thought that would in any way shape or form be a good idea? I don't know what's worse, the steering wheel or the useless gauges custom fabricated to the top of the speedo.

Marcus Frost

No, I didn't see it in person... which is probably a good thing. This wasn't an SL500/550 either, this was actually an SL65. Done by some company called "LaCrys". Sounds like some European firm try to front the LA style, right up your alley Akademiks, LOL.

They did two cars for the show, an SL65 and a Touareg.
