 | Also has already told us: BMW is no newcomer to performence, but with AMG adding there Flybrid which will feature the KERS system mounted between the engine and transmission, as well as direct injection, and twin-turbo's replacing the superchargers. With the range topping engine producing 700 BHP from the new high revving 5.0 liter V-8. The BMW Z10 as many are calling it will be a eco-friendly supercar with about 550 BHP, and will feature the KERS system,as well as turbocharging from a V-8. It will be targeted at the Mercedes SLS, and Audi R8 V-10, there will always be a horsepower war in Germany beyond what others understand. This war is about being ahea of the rest, and with all 3 being luxury car brands performnce will always sale more cars then just luxury. |

 | Looks like a very very eco-friendly vehicle. There's even some grass growing in the centre of the front wheels. Maybe it improves brakes cooling?

| Just like the current SLK, this new one will have the same grille design/opening as the top of the line Mercedes sports car. Old one mimic'd the SLR, this one the SLS. That grill opening is going to be huge. M

| ^^ No, no, it's the rumoured Mercedes-Benz Grass-edition (the SLK is only the first one). Made to attract Greepeace-members, it features grass on the wheels, an interior trim made out of hardened recycled-paper, a special paint to attract bird's crap, an exhaust tuned to sound like an exhausted horse, a "Meuuhh"-horn, and an old-bread distributor. The motor is painted in green so that the clients think it's natural and un-polluting. The radio can only emit forest-sounds, and you can host a bird or a hamster in the glovebox.
