Mercedes SLR McLaren roadster
Here is a model of the new Supercar by Mercedes: the Mercedes SLR McLaren roadster, the cabriolet version of the SLR McLaren coupé. A little technical overview: developing torque of 780 Nm as low down as 3,250 rpm and output of 626 hp, this awesome power unit (AMG V8) accelerates the new SLR from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,8 seconds attaining its speed limit at 332 Km/h.
As for the design, Mercedes has not left anything out : spectacular gull-wing doors, sweeping arrow-shaped nose section of the bonnet area (giving this jewel a formula 1 flair), large lateral gills and an overall strong inspiration to the 50's... the least we can say is that nothing goes to the waste!
As for the interiors, the lack of gimmicks that get in the way of the clean and highly functional instruments is to praise. The interplay of hard and soft materials ( luxurious leather, carbon fiber, aluminium) defines the rarefied ambience of the interiors. Other features include the clever bi-zone climatisation and a fabulous hi-fi Bose stereo system. If you are interested in purchasing this awesome piece of beauty, you'd better hurry and put your name in the waiting list to the nearest Mercedes sell-out: only 1000 units of this magnificent roadster will be produced and sold at the « indulgent » price of 680.000 €.
