After many teaser shots and numerous magazines publishing spy shots of the SLR laden with disguises we now get to see the new monster in all its glory.
The powerful GT car draws upon many of Mercedes classic cars for its design influence. Whether it will be perceived as an object of beauty of extravagence remains to be seen.
Full technical details have yet to be released but it is well known that it will be powered by a 5.4 litre V8 breathed on by AMG. Power will be a monstrous 600bhp.
The SLR will make its official debut in the Autumn.
