With an audience of 10,000, the car made it into the first of three Grand Tour car-selling shows in Italy, and was selected as one of the top 10 fastest cars ever produced. In 2011, its sales had surpassed 1 million. While the Mercedes-Benz was the first of its kind to go out of business, the company didn't follow in the footsteps of other carmakers by changing their engine designs, changing its chassis into a more fuel-efficient but more powerful and more powerful sports car. In 2017, Mercedes-Benz and its sibling companies Infiniti and Audi combined to produce a range of powerplants such as the Mercedes W06, the BMW W86, the P90i and the Aston Martin RS6. The only competition in any of the six models, which are more or less unchanged from the previous two iterations, is the Mercedes W08. The German carmaker could not make the car successful for a few years due to a series of technical issues, but in time the W02 finished a respectable second in 2017. And, in the US, the new concept took just a year to reach the factory before it rolled out from the facility where Audi built the W12. As a result, the W08 did not make its debut and did not have an official unveiling at the 2011 Paris Motor Show.
