Its a 1600X1200 closeup of the Mercedes Benz F400 Carving concept. God that is a beautiful piece of work. If you're not familiar with the system the wheels would actually camber out as the car turned. I think the max lateral G pulled was 1.35. It takes special tires that wear out in 3000 miles I think. I might upload the rest of the series to diesel if he wants them.
