Interesting Aero Benz
Thought you guys might dig this pic. It's the cover shot from this month's SAE magazine and shows an experimental aero exercise from Stuttgart. There are all sort of groovy bits like wheels that go from more or less 5 spokes to essentially Moon discs at speed. The body itself is a shape-shifter, deploying various aero tricks once up to speed. Cd is 0.19 - that's REALLY slippery.
To US readers - you might see if you agree with me that the overall profile is really close to the original Olds Aurora (a really pretty 4 door sedan). I don't know what other markets got them though Canada is a good guess.
Don't place your order - no plans for production at this time, just a prototype shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The best I could do was take a pic of the cover - sorry it's not better quality.
