Photos of Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Supercar

slr.jpg

GermanCarFans.com has a new gallery of photos of the amazing...no, that's not superlative enough...awe-inspiring...no, too cliché...mind-numbingly impressive Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.

The SLR is a 2-seat supercar that looks like something you'd find in a country club parking lot (in the valet section, of course). While most supercars look like a cross between a jet fighter and an F1 car, the SLR looks, well, like a Mercedes-Benz street car. Well, a very nasty-looking street car.

This thing does 0-60 in less than 4 seconds and shoots to a top speed in excess of 200 MPH thanks to its supercharged 600 HP 5.5L V-8. The car is awash in high-tech materials too, including ceramic brake discs and vast quantities of carbon fiber (even the seats). The SLR is the result of a 5-year collaboration between McLaren and Mercedes-Benz. Thanks to Dan for the lead.
