could u imagine keeping that clean =) lol..i couldnt drive that everyday..it would drive me nuts to see little spreks of crap on it...not to mention blind any other pearson on the road =)

thats cool though they need to make 1/18th models like that

edit..how do they make it look like that? do they dip all the panels or paint? i cant imagine how they got the entire car looking like 1 big mirror

those are beautiful pictures, i dont know if it would look good in real life, and i also agree that it would get scratched very easily

I think it's polished aluminium (I'm sure it is on the Jaguar XJ). Audi also made a concept car like this. This is purely for show purposes. If it would be out in the rain once it'd be ruined.

I read an article about the XJ in chrome. They were only allowed to drive it during the day. Because if you shine your headlights on these cars.....

They look fantastic though. The XJ is also so incredibly cool!

^^^^ I guess you mean the article in Carros, htfaber?

I read that too and that's where it said they could only drive it when it was dry, because otherwise it would be ruined. Don't know why though.

The E-Class shot is priceless IMO. Taht lake was a pretty familiar sight.. then I read the article and yes, it was shot in Silvaplana, near St.Moritz, where I go almost every year skiing.. also st-anger should recognize the place :D

Since another topic about those marvellous pics was opened today, I'm upping this.. and I'm doing it also because today I got the original Mercedes Calendar, Cars from the stars with all the 12 pics.. guys, if you have some money to invest in that (I ended up paying a total of around 40 euro I fear), BUY IT NOW (ebay.de)... it's HUGE (70 x 50 xm), the pics are absolutely stunning!! The best calendar I ever had!!

I don't know about the merci, but the jaguar being shown at the Auto Show was polished aluminium. It was done to demonstrate the new body construction techniques.
