SLR 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review


The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (C199 / R199 / Z199) is a grand tourer jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive and sold from 2003 to 2010. When the car was developed, Mercedes-Benz owned 40 percent of the McLaren Group and the car was produced in conjunction between the two companies. The "SLR" name is an abbreviation for "Sport Leicht Rennsport" (Sport Light Racing), and was a homage to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR which served as the car's inspiration. The car was offered in coupé, roadster and speedster bodystyles, with the latter being a limited edition model.
I'd take it over Enzo and CGT anyday.
Surprisingly so, the SLR has stood the test of time far better than both the Enzo and the CGT, who would have thought.

If that car was just released at the GIMS last week it'd be totally fine..looks timeless as ever.
 
The SLR will always be the one that got away. I still regret passing on a great deal a few years ago.

The Carrera GT and SLR have aged like fine wine, whereas the LaFerrari really dated the Enzo. So jarring is the design now.
 
This is still one of my favorite Mercedes sports cars. Who would think this machine can drift like this and light its back wheels? Fabulous machine.

From the most beautiful car in the world to the most disrespectful garbage, when some without north or capacity believe they know more than those who do
 
Supercharged V8 FTW

I have yet to see one in person after all these years. This car and the Bentley Brooklands.

I have only seen a SLR once in my life when I was in Qatar, it was in that silver arrow colour. It looks so dramatic and is a stunning looking machine with its long bonnet.
