I've been so off-base as of late
I didn't even think of that... just cherry picked the quote.

Frank Stephenson is McLaren's chief designer and has hinted at a new system to replace the wipers. It is thought to involve using ultrasound to send 30kHz waves across the windshield, which would keep it clear of any debris, even those really horrible insect remains that can build up and obstruct your view.
How does it stop such debris? By creating a force field that stops rain, snow, or insects ever reaching the windshield. If they can't touch it, then the glass will remain clean and clear.

Predictable. Bigger, boring, me-too styling, starts at 29K, really will cost a lot more.
Shocked at
1. No LED running lights?! Didn't think it was possible to make a new mass-market vehicle without them.
2. $50K for the hybrid. Is today April 1?

The 2014 Mercedes Benz S63 AMG has recently landed on our shores and it is one of the most sought vehicles today. For those that have been fortunate enough to view it in person, the flowing lines of the standard S-class have been enhanced by a larger, lower air damn and other AMG accents to let the world know that this is not your average S-class. The subtle side V-8 badges and 5.5 liter AMG bi-turbo V-8 growl are also hints that this is a special beast. This car features the AMG Adaptive Sport Suspension which adjusts the standard AIRMATIC suspension. The AMG wheels are 20x8.5 up front and 20x9.5 in the rear wearing 255/40/20 and 285/25/20 tires.
For those that want to turn the 2014 S63 into a masterpiece, look no further than adding the directional ground-breaking 22" CVT wheel from Vossen.

We debuted our latest Monoblock CV wheel in late September with its own micro-site and an industry ground breaking video release schedule, where a new video debuted everyday for two weeks. Featuring a true directional design with four separate molds which enables the driver or passenger side to twist in the same or opposite directions. The CVT seems destined to fit on the S63.

Our internal design team doesn't create a wheel design based on influences, but on formulas and harmony including an extensive process reviewing even car designs. There is even more to discuss in regards to our design process but let's move on to how the CVT perfectly works with the design of the incredible S63. From the front view, the thin spoke's of the CVT of course give those large AMG brakes a proper setting to be showcased. The multi-spokes add some tension to the front angle since it has large open air intakes, yet it blends with the LED light strip in the headlight.

Measuring 22x9 in front and 22x10.5 in the rear, the CVT adds a larger footprint without straying too far from the factory specs so you can enjoy the benefits of a more finished overall design, better performance while not being overbearing. While the 20" stock wheels are fine for most, notice how the beautiful W222 design comes into its own with the 22' CVT. The exclusive metallic gloss silver finish matches the silver finish around the windows and lower front, rear, and side valances of the S63. This combination makes an even rarer vehicle more exclusive.

Once again you can see the cohesiveness of the CVT with the S63 by noting how the spokes of the CVT also work with the LED horizontal taillights. The CV-T continues the Vossen trademark Concave theme and with the directional design it stands out boldly without shouting. The quad exhausts mean business and this vehicle now has wider 295/30/20 inch tires in the rear. Once again the sliver accents of the S63 match the metallic gloss silver of the CVT.

Until Vegas informed me of the shit quality of Vossens, I didn't know any better. I thought they were a high-end wheel, not Rota-esque
FWIW, I think the wheel design looks balla on that S63![:O](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/embarrassment.gif)
Fuck yeah!
Their customers. Problem is, they have some kickass project cars. So.. the guys who can afford the nice toys are like.. I want that. Well.. there are a lot of guys with nice toys and they call Hennessey who's all like.. sure, I can do that. 10 years later, customers car is in pieces on Hennessey's lot. Surely he'll deliver.
