I am sure the active camber control system that car has will make it superior to all the AWD systems available currently.

I'm sure for a VERY limited production model like this they would try to make a VERY nice car... meaning, I think they have probably designed the front bumper/fender to be aerodynamic like an F1 race car. As you can see, on an F1 car ALL of the wheels are out in the open, yet they are probably the most aerodynamic automobiles in the world. It all depends on the body work around the wheel as well.

Although F1 cars utilize aerodynamics probably more than any other motorsport, Open wheel and cockpit cars are less aerodynamic than closed fender and cockpit cars. A Bentley R8 (I think) or Toyota GT1 are probably more aerodynamic than a F1 car. Even an Audi R8 (has open cockpit) is more aerodynamic.

I've seen this car before. This is an older concept design, and I wasn't aware MB had any plans to actually follow through with production. Even if they did, it would more than likely yield little to no profit for them, but rather be a demonstration of their technology.
