I've seen them on gravel and snow too but they so far off from the pace on loose surface there's no point to use them anywhere but on tarmac. Nice slides though

More types of cars the merrier I say.
A bit of exotica can't hurt rallying. I'm old enough to remember the big silver V8 Mercedes at Rally NZ in 1980. Wow! These cars made a big impression with the fans. They were off the pace of the nimble escorts, fiats, chevettes and datsuns, but they looked and sounded great.
These N-GT cars will never be a match for modern 4WD cars on gravel or snow but they can add some spice to tarmac rallies. Bring it on! Love to see a Jag in the mix as well.
Here's a video of Rally NZ 1980 featuring the 4 big Mercs of Waldegaard, Mikkola, Cowan and Carlsson.
