New Gullwing Coupe to make SLR obsolete

(I posted this in "Mini SLR" thread, but got no responses there, so I think it deserves its own thread)

Here's a more accurate pic of a gullwing coupe, due in 2011.

It will be priced higher than the SL65 AMG, and will have 1000 hp (?), making the SLR obsolete at that point.

(From Automobile Magazine, August 2006)

oh my...! I sh*t the wall, a must-have vehicle!!!!!!!!
I don't think it'll have 1000 hp, rather 700-750. whatever it is, it's devilish

how do you guys like this?

That's not my art...(though I wish it were mine) The name of the artist is hussein al-attar, a spyshot-modder for Germancarfans.com.

His works are great!
