Whether it fits in w/ the DTM philosiphy or not, that is neither here nor there, MB caters to your every fancy. Personally I really didn't like the idea of the cab. when I first heard about it for the reason that it didn't quite seem fitting as DTM tuned variant. However, looking at the finish product more thuroughly I'm very impressed w/ the work they put in, and w/ out a doubt, especially considering what I have read about the coupe, this is going to be a seriously good performer, probably a car that would clamp down on Ferrari's and Porsches and not losen it's grip. Much like a pitbull.
