Mercedes Benz SCL600 – Drives with a Joystick

Posted by: john In: pictures

No steering wheel or pedals, you drive it with a joystick. And mom said video games would never benefit me… look who’s laughing now. Still her… I can hear her from the basement. ;-)

I want one…how much and where can I buy it I live in Thailand

Comment by Michael Gray

You can buy one for £116,000.00GBP which is alot of baht lol. Mercedes will be taking orders in late 2008…so these will be available from August 2008. Yes you living in Thailand is no problem…one could be shipped you in left or right hand drive for £1250 including VAT and all taxes.

I know this is somewhat late looking at the entry date of your question, but did you actually buy one of these cars?? I am just curious :-)

Oh no – I think this was just a prototype. Would be very cool to have though. :)

…..er – oh no not another ‘urban myth’……the ‘left or right hand drive’ rings the alarm bells……isn’t something with a centre joy-stick that by definition ?

This isn’t a 21st version of spaghetti trees is it ?

I have predicted the Cruz control will be the best thing ever happen to the automobile, I put one 35 years back from pepboys and been telling all my friends that some day we will be driving with servo control motor with one large mouse ball in our hand to steer the car. Now Mercedes have come up with joy stick that is great and I would like to drive this one if Mercedes is looking for normal driver from metro LA with + 40 yrs of experience. if we can get sensor put in all the carpool lanes then I imagine total computer control camera system will drive the car in right speed and keep the right distance so driver will be emergency takeover man. Sure would like to give my opinion upon test driving. Thanks and best wishes. mike desai

I have a request to Mercedes Benz to give me a try to drive this car because i have envision this phenomena 15 year back that steering wheel is not required to drive the car and would lover the glass window dash board. I would just like to see 3 flat screen panel’s to guide me. well congratulation on new model joystick.
