Didn't the current SLR drop SBC?

Good question! thay might make an announcement with the intro of this sport version.

I also would love to see a droptop SLR!!

Does the front quarter panel look different to anyone?

 

[GTA45E]

Other than the extended lip on the front spoiler I don`t see a difference.

I have a feeling that Mercedes is going to make some type of large-scale announcement about their "Track Series" cars very soon. They'll show this sportier SLR and the production version of the special SLK55 and the updated AMG performance packages for the new E63 and CLS63. Just my guess. I suspect this will happen next month at the unveiling of the new musuem which will also bring us the new CL.

Can't believe it's 20 years since the last post of a SLR on this thread!

I still love the SLR it's design still looks so beautiful and eye catching. One of the best best sports coupes ever in my opinion.

That 5.4 Supercharged V8 is a monster engine and check the smooth front underneath panel and the rear diffuser.

I still to this day have never seen a SLR in person. Unbelievable.

I have only seen it once in real life when I was in Qatar and its a stunning car on the road.

 

[Esp5]

I haven't seen it either, and it's my favorite car in the world; I have to do something about it.

 

[Matski]

I've seen a few, including Coupes, Roadsters and Stirling Moss's...

... pretty much only at Goodwood though.

I remember seeing them when they were new at car shows, they seemed massive a sorta larger than life car. The one that stands out was a goldish grey roadster that a lady wrote a check for at the car show and put a deposit right there and then, and the Merc employee put a reserved sign on it. Talk about goals.

Off topic, but the SLS price has gone up more than 100% since its introduction.
They probably ask a pretty penny for the SLR too these days.

They always are at car week, you should just go there this year!

The SLR is a Car that might become the perfect restomod.

I’d primarily change the transmission and put the 9G MCT in this thing, and change the suspension( add adaptive dampers), I might put a different exhaust on it as well with a valve.

Everything else is almost perfect.

These were from the Goodwood SLR Club Parade...

I'd remove the SLR badge from the centre console... for reasons.
