The car is really different

It looks amazing. Check the tires.

The door - is that what is different? No, it is not!

How about the trunk? Not really, even!

Where is the steering-wheel ??? !!! This is what is different in the car. It doesn’t have one to drive with. It comes with a joy-stick though. A bunch load of functions are automatic.

A closer view of the joy-stick driver control. Amazing … !

I would assume as long as you stay on the lines using the GPS it will be a doddle to drive
This car is hardly “new”. The photographs of the Mercedes-Benz SCL600 were actually taken over 10 years ago at the Paris Motor Show in 1996. It was actually a concept car of Daimler-Chrysler’s F200, produced by the Mercedes-Benz design team. The car never made it into production (obviously), but some of the elements have been tested in other models by Daimler-Chrysler.
More information about this car’s origin can be found on Snopes:
