Euh...?

Yes it is indeed a Mercedes Benz, an old concept car actually. Can't remember its name though but I'm sure I saw it before.

It's a one-off car that was produced for a Middle Eastern individual in the early 90's. I believe Mercedes provided the engine and some engineering and some other company did the rest. It was VERY fast.

Mercedes C1000

Just so you know.
It's called a Mercedes c1000.
It was built for an Arabic Prince years ago.
I think there were only maybe 5 or 6 produced.
It yields about 808bhp.
How do I know. I've actually seen this car in person.
It was for sale at 2.2 million dollars. Amazing machine!

That's is one ugly supercar. The headlights are hideous. Gotta be a 90's car with all those Integra / Celica headlight craze.

It was recently sold at the Barrett Jackson auction here in Scottsdale a couple of months ago.

I can't remember exactly...but I think it sold for around $300k! Took over $2million to develop/make the car I guess.
