The car was used to test new dynamic handling control systems. The outer wheels tilt at an angle of up to 20 degrees when cornering - hence the reference to the carver skies.

In the back, you can see the Mercedes-Benz C111 from 1970. It has a Wankel-engine (i.e. a rotary piston), gullwings and a plastic bodywork.
