Mclaren Mercedes SLR

Full set of piccies

---

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.

Is it just me.. or is anyone else left totaly 'cold' by this car?

I wanted a ford GT as soon as i saw one.. ditto the 360 stradale, and the lambo gallardo. I even like the new 911 RS lightweight thingie. But this.. just looks to me like an SL for people with more money than sense.

Am i the only one?
