2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster

July 14th 2008 22:36
Mercedes Roadster



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.

A couple of lifetimes of Adsense, maybe.

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

Oooh man, this car is sexy!!! It doesn't look as good as the Ferrari 360 Spider though.

Punk, don't hold your breath on that one, unless, of course, the price beocmes cents in an otherwise troubled world.

Ann, you truly have such good taste and there'll be a post on your Ferrari 360 Spider coming right up.

Good to see you, call again, my tasteful darling.
