Presenting the New Mercedes Benz SCL600

Pretty, isn’t it?


So?

What’s different about this car?


Not this….


????

Here is the real difference.
WHOA !

No Steering Wheel

No Pedals either

You drive this car with a joystick!

Do you think that you

can drive with a joystick?

Your kids and grandkids can.


The influence of video games in our lives has really arrived, wouldn’t you say?



The SCARY THOUGHT is:

NOW a 4-YEAR-OLD can STEAL your car

AND DRIVE IT BETTER THAN YOU CAN !

Edited to add:

GOTCHA! 😉

Snopes:

These images of a futuristic “new Mercedes-Benz SCL600” automobile – including technical innovations such as a joystick in place of a steering wheel, a video monitor in place of a rear-view mirror, and swiveling gull-wing doors – are difficult to classify as “true” or “false”. They are genuine photographs of a real car, but that car was constructed as a research vehicle, not as something to be made available for purchase by consumers, and isn’t really “new” … it was introduced over ten years ago. The above-displayed photos are pictures of DaimlerChrysler’s F 200 Imagination concept study, produced by the Mercedes-Benz design team and unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1996 … DaimlerChrysler has continued experimenting along these lines with the three-wheeled F 300 Life-Jet, the F400 Carving two-seater, and the F500 Mind four-door sedan.

  1. That is crazy. The day that is the only option for driving is the day I will be taking the bus! I am not good at video games with joy sticks!

  2. I'd have to have a hazardous driver sign on my car if I was driving. There's no way I could even stay in the lane. Is that for real????

  3. oh you have got to be kidding me! Is this true???

    I am so getting old, this is amazing! My grandkids could drive it better then me!

  4. Holy moley- I better hide the keys!

    Like someone said in another comment, "Is this for real?"

    Have a Happy VGNO!

  5. Omg, but I totally want that car. Is a steering wheel and option though 🙂

  6. Haha … oh, that's awesome! If they start making them in hot pink I totally want one!

    Hope you're having a lovely weekend, Stacy.

  7. i hope that's not real. if my track record at simpsons road race is any indication, i'd crash that car in less than 30 seconds!

  8. AGH! I was about to say I'm up the creek, then! LOL! Hmmm… just in case, maybe I should start playing more video games…

  9. I think that it would be quite cool, although I doubt I could handle it myself.

  10. WOW Not sure if it would be that hard to drive but who knows! LOL THanks for showing that.

  11. I was scared there for a minute because I totally stink at driving games like MarioKart. I really hope this never becomes a reality.

  12. I am still waiting for a car that will drive itself. Or…

    even better my own personal hovercraft like the Jetsons cartoon. Or, transport like on star trek
