It is a front engine, with a torque tube and transaxle layout(virtually identical to the Corvette) and ran 7:10.92 on the Ring. How does that compare with the front engine Z06 or the ME Ford GT or the ME NSX?

Seems that Mercedes has the front engine thing figured out.
They do have a "hyper car" in the works. Yet is is going to be a special model with F1 Hybred technology.. coming in at just $1.5 MM
