Opening unique swing-wing doors, engine hood, rear trunk, extremely polished interior and exterior design, working suspension, fit and finish very deserving of diecast awards if there were any.  A surprise underneath Maisto's sleeve.  As I've written in past articles, once in a while you stumble upon news of a new release and as soon as you see the model itself, you drop everything around you including your jaws.  Well, this is absolutely one of those times and this is one of those rare gems a serious diecast collector absolutely must have if like this concept car stuff.  The thing is, this isn't concept anymore; it's slated for production in 2003 by DaimlerChrysler as noted in many sports car magazines.  Mind you, this model is very expensive and is absolutely not for kids.  It comes in two packages; car with basic plastic base or car with "Executive" polished aluminum base for the corporate desk.
