-Crystal Laurit Silver Metallic/Red Leather, Black Convertible top
with Black Carpeting, 3800 miles, 5.4-liter supercharged V8 with
617bhp and a 5-speed AMG Speedshift R Automatic Transmission.
In the early 2000s, supercars were the greatest desire as all the
top marques aimed to produce their flagship model. Porsche with the
Carrera GT, Ferrari with the Enzo, and even Ford with the GT.
Mercedes enlisted the help of its then Formula 1 partner, McLaren,
to produce the SLR. The SLR name is a tribute to the 300 SLR
endurance racer of the 1950s. Like the 300 SLR, sustaining high
speed over the course of hundreds of miles remained the focus of
development, so MercedesMcLaren focused more on grand touring than
on all-out track performance. The SLR was meant to be the everyday
supercar. Mercedes and McLaren fitted an all-aluminum 5.4 liter
supercharged V8 with 617bhp and 580 lb-ft of torque. 0-60mph took
under 3.5 seconds and top speed achieved was around 208mph.
Mercedes and McLaren used their know-how from Formula 1 and
developed a carbon fiber monocoque, carbon-ceramic disc brakes
measuring 15 inches in the front and 14 inches in the rear, and an
active rear spoiler which acted as an airbrake or increase
downforce. Inside was fitted with custom-fit leather seats,
high-end speakers, and automatic climate control reinforcing the
grand touring ambitions Mercedes and McLaren set out to
produce.
This 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR Roadster is in excellent condition
throughout having been collector owned and cared for from new and
with just 3800 miles from new. With only about 2,000 cars
originally sold (in all variants), low-mileage examples such as
this are very difficult to find.
