Awesome Cars

Watch and learn what not to do from this reporter as he attempts, and yes, we mean attempts to demonstrate how easy it is to break into a car and steal your stuff. Don’t quit the day job, man.

Mercedes Benz used the C111 series to test new engines and other technologies. The 1977 C111-III had a 230hp diesel engine, and broke nine speed records. Why didn’t they produce this car again?

Sure, there’s no steering or brakes, but you’d still be the coolest looking kid cruising at Derby Downs in Philippe Starck’s mahogany and leather gravity racer he created for Intersection magazine.
