V12-Biturbo
PPhhhbbtt if this 1200 HP Biturbo was on a 3900lb Benz (even if kitted up w/worst Lorinser/Mansory etc) 
you'd ALL be singing praise vs flat ripping on everything from the tuners past history, to it wont handle in corners (isn't this the same platform Cadillac used to thrash Nuremberg @ 7.59?)
Give a little credit where it's due, instead of solely focusing on look's etc... Thought this side of the board appreciated perf, this creation albeit not most handsome will rape everything currently on this Forum in 1/4 mile & twistys, if driven by an accomplished talented driver...

The problem is they put such a powerful engine on such a powerfully hideous car. If Mercedes put a 1,200 HP engine in a car, that would be awesome, naturally, and we MBWorld forum members would be very happy and impressed. If they put it in a stretched out A Class with weird proportions, and to put it bluntly; it looked really ugly, I would criticize the car the same way I'm doing with this Cadillac. It makes no difference to me.
I support Mercedes-AMG, I root for them. I want them to top themselves. I would say that it is a brand that I oddly consider myself loyal to in many respects. But that is also for a reason, we're on this forum because we know how great MB's are. But I'll also be honest and not blinded by loyalty, if and when there are faults within a Mercedes product, idea etc...
Regardless of what you think about the workmanship, principles, and the way that the Hennessy brand is ran, they make crazy, high horse powered machines if their name is on the product. They know how to crank those horses out.
Anway, I've never considered pigs a good looking animal. You see a panther and you say, "Wow! What a sexy panther!" Or, "That's such a cute puppy" and "Look at that beautiful dolphin." I've never heard anyone say, "My oh my, that is one gorgeous pig!" That's what I think a Cadillac CTS Coupe looks like.

All that being said i would still drive it imo its not the worst looking car that has been made. there are alot more ugly super/sport cars that are out there. Plus this one has some brutal horsepower so once your behind the wheel im sure the "UGLY" wears off haha.

Get you one! I recently bought a 2011 sedan. I spent $100 for a pulley, $200 for a cold air intake and put a $400 box tune on it. Immediately took it to the 1/8 mile local dragstrip and ran a 7.5 at nearly 97 mph.
I really, really like this car and love how durable and inexpensive it is to operate.

I would love to get one right now but I'm upside down on my car by a couple grand and I want to pay some debt off before I take the step. Well, that and my wife wants to unload her Jeep in favor of an X5M.....
