Yahooooo. You got it. http://www.mbzponton.org/valueadded/other/adenauer.htm

But theres more to this story.

Silicon Valley millionaires' assistants will be lining up, or cashing in favors, to buy the latest super car from Mercedes-Benz.

The company is being coy about when it might produce the Ocean Drive, Mercedes first four-door touring car since the '60s when the 300d "Adenauer," named for West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, was put to rest.

For now, it's a one-off "design study" that cost around $3.5 million to build. Wired News was one of the first outlets to have a look at the vehicle that Gorden Wagener, the designer behind the Ocean Drive and president of Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design of North America, guesses will cost around $300,000.

Just wanted to give you folks who can afford this new machine a heads up.

Oh I can do much better (By re-naming the photo next time) But i figured someone would use some sort of resources to figure it out and i know what can happen if it would goes on for to long. Either it will turn into a political fight or someone will find a way to turn it into some sort of sexual fantasy.
