The Fisker
Think I like the AMG rendition better.

Looks OTT to me.
I prefer my old SLK 55 for every day.

To be honest i think this vehicle is appalling. It does not have appeal. It may to some and that is ok, whatever you like. But the grille is too large. The body is too straight with unnecessary wheel humps. The wheels themselves are terrible. The roof and boot are too narrow and the windows are too short. It does not look right.
That is my opinion. It was designed for the video game Gran Turismo 6, which in the game is terrible itself. A creation that should be forgotten.

This is not a real car, but a model of what Mercedes designed as a "virtual" car to be included in the Sony Playstation GT6 video game, right?

Looks a little extreme. Actually, very extreme. But concepts are meant t be like that. OP, was there an engine? Did you hear it or was it electric?

If it didn't have those incredibly heinous wheels and got rid of the side skirt it would be a very pretty car.

Not an attractive car and as others have pointed out it's derivative and a not so elegant version at that.

The guy that would buy that monstrosity would wear the fully diamond encrusted Rolex that gets posted from time to time. I'll stick to Porsches. My tastes are simple.

Well like many concept vehicles it is polarizing!! If it comes to life it will look different.

Not a huge fan of the Fiskar, my boss has one and have had a chance to ride in it..... Just not my cup of tea from a comfort or styling standpoint. |

I don't quite know what to say. It's a concept car and it certainly is interesting. I think the wheels are too big and the badge on the grill is way too much for my tastes. However, if it's purpose is to get ooohs and aaahs, I think it does the trick.
I like the car below better. It has a proven track record, but the Mercedes has a more spacious cabin.

There's always cars like this - just design exercises to suggest future design directions for the brand, no real intent to production...
I like the concept of a body being tight to the necessary mechanicals, needing bigger flares for front and rear fenders.. similar concept to the P1... For me, this needs some additional lines on the hood and on the side, too plain as is... Also looks like a Maserati and an Aston to me... |
