The New Mercedes Benz SCL600.
This car is really different.
That's not what is different about it.
That either.
....and now for the 'really different' part:
Here is what is different.
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?
SCARY THOUGHT THAT NOW A 7 YEAR OLD COULD STEAL YOUR CAR AND PROBABLY DRIVE IT BETTER THAN YOU.

Bah, primitive.

Uses brainwaves to create an input for a computer. Since all control systems in a car are electronic, and function through computers...
Soon (5-10 years), all you'll need is an alpha-wave.

The real name of that car, according to this site, is the DaimlerChrysler F200, and it was shown off in 1996
Still very interesting, but I doubt joysticks will replace the steering wheel, or even become common, for a while yet.

My theory
1. It was a car built for gamers.
2. It was a car meant to be stolen by gamers.
Doubt it's real but hey yah never know now do yah???

It's a FREAKING CHEESE GRATER.
LOOK AT IT'S BLOODY WHEELS.
You all need to get some style.
I mean...
CHEESE GRATER.
SERIOUSLY.
Car designers these days...

Please... you can't properly grate cheese on those wheels, the holes aren't uniform! This sounds like a UGTO plot to me...
