What is really cool about this car is that Paul Bracq actually designed it -- Last Year!!  There is another one in development with some moderate changes to the design.  I love that Kark Middelhauve has the guts to do this to a 600!!

You gotta respect Karl Middelhauvefor what he has done to keep the old m100 alive. I m sure even Paul Bacq gets some comments asking why his former boss didnot pick up on the design cluss ofsome of Mittlehavefor work.
