1. I actually like the front profile.
2. The side skirts are gaudy and remind me if a kit car.
3. Love the rear but rear wing is too much...maybe tone it down a bit and
.
Overall a bit too much for me but if they could somehow make the side profile flow better and redo the rear wing I might bite.

I discover the foreign culture through the way people modify their cars.
My conclusion is that in the Western world , People often agree to say that Overdone things probably lose a part of their beauty,and for many peole in europe and usa that VITT kitt is simply too much godzilla for a SL.
However,in other cultures like the Asians Cultures,the arabs cultures , there is no limit commonly accepted.
It's never too much.More means better.Mo' gold in the palace, Always more wider car, Always more flashy paints...
I don't judge it, I just find it very interesting.
Show me how you mod your car, And I'll tell you who you are.

yes f-ugly indeed. Too busy...too much going on...I cringe to think about the massive amounts of aero drag imposed on this already heavy car.
If anything the SL needs it's a functional kit reducing the air under and through cavities in the car body, the car is already heavy and needs streamlining not done with these kit formed monstrosities

This sort of stuff grow on you. A couple of years ago, I would have said "too busy".
It looks good and is an alternative to the 'old fart' design.
I think the many bolt on sections are a bit cheap looking. If they could consolidate the bolt on panels it would look a lot better.

Minus the wing and the super open side skirts, I like how it looks. Front reminds me of an F430 scuderia.
edit: wow, after the currency conversion it comes out to about $23k!!

I bet it went like this.....
"Hmmm, what can we do for this years show?"
"I don't know, let's go race an SL and a Murci around on the street for a little bit to brainstorm."
"Crap! The SL landed on the roof of the Murci and smashed it down!"
"We can work with this, let's take the ground effects off the Lambo and make 'em fit the SL, and let's call it a show car!"
"You are a friggin' GENIUS!"
