Most gearheads remember (or at least know about) the incredible German Grand Prix machines of the 1930s-1950s. The Mercedes "W" cars were exceptionally dominant in F1 racing during those years; 5 liters, 500-600hp, 270+ mph.

And now, 80 years later, comes THIS!

Regrettably it's electric, but I'm confident I could pull all that out and stuff a great long DOHC fuel-injected Desmodromic straight-8 in there with a straight-toothed 4 speed gearbox btwn my knees! Love those skinny knock-off wire wheels!!! Hope they include a free leather helmet and goggles with it.

That's a really cool concept. I wouldn't kick that it of my garage.

Awesome.
