Mercedes McLaren SLR 20035,439cc DOHC Supercharged V8 Engine -Multi-Point Fuel Injection -617bhp at 6,500rpm Introduced in 2003, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren supercar was created through the collaboration of two legendary automotive powerhouses, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive. The result was a 617-horsepower, 206 mile-per-hour grand touring coupe that combined Mercedes luxury, AMG performance, and McLaren technology. SLR, which stands for Sport Leicht Rennsport (Sport Light Racing), recalls the venerable 300SLR racing cars from the 1950s that were driven to victories in the Targa Florio and Mille Miglia by Sir Stirling Moss, along with the iconic 300SL road car. The SLR McLaren pays homage to these cars with its long hood, sweeping roofline, and side exit exhausts, reminiscent of the 300SLR 'Uhlenhaut Coupe'.
The SLR McLaren was manufactured at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey, England. It features a carbon fiber and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) body shell and chassis and an all-aluminum supercharged 5,439cc V8 engine hand-built by AMG. The twin-screw Lysholm-type supercharger provides 16 psi of boost to the M115 powerplant. Mercedes opted for an AMG Speedshift R 5-speed-transmission to drive the rear wheels. It also features brake-by-wire "Sensotronic" carbon ceramic disc brakes, which offer improved fade resistance over steel discs and are assisted by an innovative active aerodynamics airbrake system. Despite its high-tech construction and Formula 1 inspired technology, the SLR McLaren weighs nearly 4,000 pounds and retains the luxuries of a modern Mercedes-Benz, including climate control, 7-speaker BOSE sound system, multifunction steering wheel, and leather interior. The weight, however, doesn't hinder its ability to perform, being able to achieve 60 miles-per-hour in 3.2 seconds and 100 miles-per-hour in 7.5 seconds. One 2005 Mercedes McLaren SLR with 7.400 mile from new was sold for US$ 191.400 at BONHAMS Auction Sale in Amelia Island in 2015. Source BONHAMS 2015 Wallpaper of Mercedes Maclaren SLR 2003
