It might look like a modern-day carriage for Lady Penelope, but this unique Mercedes has more in mind than an appearance in Thunderbirds. Engineers have developed the plexiglass dome-roofed CLK as part of a project aimed at cutting accidents caused by restricted vision.
Research has proved that A-pillars remove between nine and 12 per cent of a driver's field of view, and Mercedes is looking at ways of redesigning them without compromising aerodynamics or crash safety.

Aughh! That's ugly.

BRAVO mercedes!!

now we can get from point A to B, while saving money from not going to Tanning Salons at the same time!

2001 Satin silver CL-S
* no navi, spoiler, mudguards
* wheel locks, full front mask
* fenderwell and door trim

 

hey, instead of getting rid of the a- and b- pillars to prevent accidents, they should get rid of bad drivers instead.

 

That looks dumb. MB makes a panoramic roof (all glass roof) for the SL that is much nicer.

 

I'd rather see some super strong exotic material used for the pillars that makes them thinner. That way they could perserve the overall look of today's cars. The dome looks too geeky.
