:::Back 2 Cars:::














It's been a long time since I've last updated about cars, so here is one for all of you Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Fans.

This is the Roadster version of the Mercedes SLR McLaren (A Mercedes with a McLaren Motor in it).In case you didn't know this the McLaren F1 used to be the fastest production car in the world; and it is one of my favorite cars. The body of the SLR is made of carbon fibre because of it's strength, torsional stiffness, safety, and lightness. The supercharged V-8 engine, with 626 hp, can reach a top speed of 332 km/h (the same as the coupe version). That sure would blow your hair around if you had the top down!! McLaren and Mercedes have taken materials used in aciation and space industries and put it into their cars: so cars like this SLR are very advanced in material and performance. 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds... oh yah!! These specs are unheard of for any convertable.
