Wow thank you for that exclusive look. I didn't know the turn signals functioned like that. Absolutely gorgeous vehicle!

Good question of the heated seat location. Hopefully it would be in some menu through the remote touch.

Real world footage of a Japanese autojournalist hooning about and drifting the LC on the track: (see 0:55 sec of the video onwards)

Looks more 'yellow' in that video instead of the faded look shown in pictures.

Solar Beam Yellow of the Mercedes GTS looks different under different light conditions too, can vary from a bright deeper yellow to a slightly greenish gold .......
