Completely flippin' irrelevant if you ask me. But it will no doubt appeal to the sort of people who are impressed by this sort of thing and don't give a stuff about what other people think of them.

In a mandatory speed limited world, historians will be the ones to wonder why, when light weight small cars offer a cleaner option.

Why?

Why does a dog lick its balls?
Because he can.

But we don't know if it makes sense.

Prince could too once he'd had a couple of ribs removed, still as unattractive a prospect as this AMG..

No idea, Panamera/Taycan competitor is all I can think about. It is also aesthetically wrong in my view which is an even bigger crime, and, while I'm at it, the film is directed by Rankin who is also vastly overrated, imho, like this car - they got that connection right then.

At the other end of the market there have been interesting and useful developments with small turbo power units that fit with the future. my nephew has just bought a favourite of mine, a Fiat Panda 4x4 with a 3 cylinder turbo - brilliant

Sorry to say it`s just ugly, but most modern cars are.
Why buy an ugly and fast car?

I will confess to looking and lusting just a tiny bit over this one Dennis has in stock though...

Knowing Bill Fink did these conversions you know you will get the whole package in harmony.

While I was driving through Fraserburgh today a 'Bullit' edition Mustang pulled out and I followed it up the road for a bit ... have to say it looked quite fetching in its dark green metallic .... rather tasteful in a brutal sort of way .... I think if I was going to ride out the swan-song of the internal combustion era in an overkill car I'd do it in one of those with a smile rather than an ugly and souless Merc.
