1991 Mercedes-Benz C112 Prototype Supercar

Very interesting read. Imagine if this thing had actually seen production. People wouldn't have looked at Mercedes as an "old man's car" so much.

Did the Honda NSX come out after 1991? Because I soooooo want to claim that Honda "copied" the rear!

^^ NSX's first public appearances were in Feb and Oct of '89, production car released in 1990.

As for the C112, well, it's just bloody awesome. Thanks for the scans Chris.

The way I see it, MB had the opportunity to either be: "old mans car" or
Like this C112. They choosen the right way I think. Mercedes are very good cars. Special the G-Wagon.

Thanks for posting anyhow.

Nah it's cool! I love the Honda NSX, especially the original one (didn't like the facelift a few years ago). One hot ass car!

I always felt they should have made an updated version of the C112 instead of the SLR.

they did with the CLK-GTR in 1997 and i think it was the most expensive car in the world that comes with 1.5 million price tag,but i'm damn happy they made the SLR there's no words that can descirbe how much i love that car

CLK GTR didn't have anything to do with C112, it was just a homologation special.

^I know it's tottally diff from the C112 but at least they give us a rear-engined supercar with brutal power!

I remember this car very clearly. It and the R129 SL were talked about so much at the time.

I always seem to reawakening old threads. First post on here in 18 years

The C112 was a fascinating concept car that many fans wish they put into production.
