Check this out and you will see the Chris Heintz influence.       

 This is the new Mercedes Benz SCL600. 

 

 This car is really different. 

 

 .....and now for the 'really different' part:

 Here is what is different. 

 [img]cid:image002.jpg(at)01C722FC.2DFCBE70[/img]

 

 

 No steering wheel, you drive it with a joystick.  No pedals either.  Can you 

 drive with a joystick?  Your kids and grandkids probably can.  The influence 

 of video games in our lives has really arrived, wouldn't ya say?

Still off topic. Do Not Archive.

 Sounds like 16,000 more things to go wrong and need an expert to fix once  the warrantee is up. Just brought a '67 Dodge Charger to the hanger for some  TLC, now I know I can work on this one.  KABONG

And the best part is it can be sold anywhere in the world.  You could drive it from either side.  Hope you are Ambidextrous.

Zenith does directly with the 601. However skyhawg has a neat dual stick that he came up with for his 701. More info can be found at:

Who cares what goes wrong.  We (the young people) do not fix our electronics.  I'm sure that when the joystick breaks, we will just throw away the car.

Yep....that's great as long as the car isn't going 70MPH around a  curve in the mountains with you in it when it breaks and the "drive by wire" car  becomes a flying projectile. Then Ya'll may have second thoughts....but ya  better have them quick.

Has anyone tried it with VG's, and the slats removed yet ? Oh,and the  interior is way too fancy for a Chris Heintz design ; )

Actually this is a concept car, and not intended for production.

AHH HAA...I knew the Germans were up to something, there is no "drivers  side". They only have to build one car for use everywhere, left side--right  side...all the same.  KABONG  Do Not Archive
