End of SLR - Beverley Hills weeps
Mercedes-Benz is understood to be ending SLR production at the end of next year, leaving many to question what will happen to the car’s fantastic 5.5 litre supercharged V8.
Well thanks to a YouTube video and a few turns of the rumour mill it could be heading for the new Pagani Zonda.
Pagani is said to have renewed its engine partnership with Mercedes AMG and in the spy video below you can see a mule driving around near the company’s offices with what sounds like an SLR engine.
Yes the video is a little old but it seems that after the end of the SLR was announced some people are putting two and two together.
The SLR coupe slipped away quietly at the end of last year but the last Roadster is now being slated to roll off the assembly line in 2009, ending the car’s five-year lifespan.
