Okay, on a purpose built race car, its perfectly fine for the camber to be like that. on a normal street car, if you set the camber that radically you'd be going through tires at least once a month. The Benz is obviously not a race car so it looked horribly wrong to me.

thats a pretty neat system, the active camber control. I'm trying to picture how it works in my head. my guess is a motorized essentric on the bottom control arm. So as it demands more camber, the lower essentric (which is what connects the lower control arm to the frame) will rotate and sort of kick the lower control arm out more, thus giving it more negative camber. thats my guess, how close was I?
