I was thinking the same...that would've been one of the most serious replicas i'd have seen.

Yeah thats true... Ive seen the clips and its just abolutely painful to see over a million dollars of Mercedes Ledgend whipping around uncontrollably, plumiting to a certain doom.

The aero and "race version" explanation makes sence.

...I think its the front end body shell (opposed to seprate pieces - fb,hood,fenders, etc...) that makes it look a lil cheapo to me, but then it would make sence if this is a racing version for weight purposes, which it seams to be now that you've pointed it out.
