The SLR McLaren. introduced in November 2003. was
Mercedes-Benz's foray into the world of the supercar. alongside
such cars as the Porsche Carrera GT and the Ferrari Enzo. It was
developed in collaboration with the McLaren Technology Centre
which. at the time. was partially owned by Mercedes-Benz. While
Ferrari and Porsche pursued creating the best all-out supercars
that the world had ever seen. Mercedes-Benz and McLaren attempted
to create an car that coupled the best aspects of supercars with
that of grand tourers. Engineers at Mercedes-Benz and McLaren took
care to place the V8 as far back as possible in the chassis in
order to improve the car's handling. giving the SLR near-perfect
weight distribution. The SLR's engine produces 617bhp at 6. 00rpm. br/>thanks to a Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger. A dash from
0-60mph took 3. 8 seconds and the car leads to a quarter mile in
just over 11 seconds with a top speed of 206mph. Its AMG Speedshift
R transmission provides three manual modes to suit the owner's
style of driving. Other remarkable technical features include the
Sensotronic 'brake by wire' system. carbon-ceramic disc brakes and
an automatic airbrake which can bring the SLR to a screeching halt
from 120mph to a dead stop in less than 240 feet.

This SLR Roadster is in absolutely unmarked condition and is
finished in black with a black hood and red/black trim. The cockpit
area of a SLR is a thing of beauty and to drive such a car is a
memorable experience. This one is no different. the engine fired up
immediately when request and to be expected of such a car. she
drives with no known faults. The gullwing doors are perfectly
functional even with the hood up. Whether you are driving to your
local restaurant or to the South of France. there can be few more
exciting ways to travel than a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
