2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster
July 14th 2008 22:36
Roadster version of the SLR McLaren supercar. The car is powered by supercharged 5.5L 615 horsepower AMG V8. The roadster can achieve a top speed of 207 miles per hour and 0-62 mph in 3.8 seconds.
Only 1,000 of the SLR McLaren Roadsters will be built.
From the torque report comes the following:
The new Roadster benefits technically from the many years of experience of Mercedes-Benz and its Formula 1 partner McLaren. Apart from two aluminium engine frames, its body is made entirely of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) materials, making the vehicle an exception among high-performance sports cars. Especially for the Roadster, complex carbon-fibre technology has been intelligently further developed for the monocoque chassis. The result is low weight, exemplary energy absorption and, therefore, extremely high occupant safety as well as a degree of torsional stiffness hitherto unattained in open-top vehicles. This leads to outstanding ride characteristics of the kind otherwise found only in closed-top super sports cars.
So, if you've got a spare 3/4 M $, maybe this one will do you fine. That's a nice brown there, for someone who wants something a little different.

That is, if the partnership between Mercedes and McLaren will survive that long.
