  The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is a grand tourer jointly developed

  by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive, built in Portsmouth and

  the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey, England and sold

  from 2003 to 2010.

  SLR is an abbreviation for "Sport Leicht Rennsport" (Sport Light

  Racing), an homage to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR which served as the

  car's inspiration. The car was offered in coupe, roadster, and a

  limited edition speedster variants.

  At the 1999 North American International Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz

  presented their Vision SLR concept, inspired both by the

  Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe of 1955,which was a modified

  Mercedes-Benz W196S race car, and the design of closed-wheel

  Formula One cars, a field in which Mercedes had prior experience,

  providing engines for McLaren bodies, as Mercedes-Benz were already

  designing and developing powertrains and electronics for McLaren's

  Formula One Team.

  The production version of the car was unveiled to the general

  public on 17 November 2003. This version was a bit different than

  the concept, the adjustments included more complex vents on both

  sides of the car, a redesigned front with the three-pointed star

  plunged in the nose and red tinted rear lights.

  The SLR features Sensotronic Brake Control, a type of brake-by-wire

  system. The brake discs are carbon-ceramic units and provide better

  stopping power and fade resistance than steel discs when operating

  under ideal working temperature. Mercedes-Benz claims these discs

  are fade resistant to 2,200 �F. The front discs are internally

  vented and measure 14.6" in diameter; eight-piston calipers are

  used. Rear discs are 14.2" in diameter with four-piston calipers.

  During wet conditions the calipers automatically skim the surface

  of the discs to keep them dry.

  The SLR features active aerodynamics; there is a spoiler mounted on

  the rear integral air brake flap. The spoiler increases downforce

  depending on its angle of elevation or angle of attack. At a set

  speed, the spoiler/brake automatically raises to 10 degrees, when

  demanded via the driver's switch, the elevation can be increased to

  30 degrees for increased rear downforce, at the cost of increased

  steady state drag. The car has a flat underbody and a rear diffuser

  for improved downforce. Due to this, there was no other place for

  the exhaust pipes to exit, other than the sides of the car, making

  it another unique feature of the SLR.

  The SLR has a 511 lbs hand-built 5.4 L. supercharged all-aluminum

  alloy, SOHC 3 valves per cylinder 90� V8 engine, with a compression

  ratio of 8.8:1. The engine is lubricated via a dry sump system. The

  Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger rotates at a maximum of 23,000

  rpm and produces 13 psi of boost. The compressed air is then cooled

  via two intercoolers. The engine generates a maximum power output

  of 617 HP at 6,500 rpm and maximum torque of 575 lbf�ft between

  3,250 to 5,000 rpm.

  McLaren took the original concept car designed by Mercedes and

  moved the engine 39.4" behind the front bumper, and around 19.7"

  behind the front axle. They also optimized the design of the center

  firewall.

  The car uses carbon-fiber reinforced plastic construction in order

  to keep the weight low. The SLR could attain a top speed of 208

  mph

  Car and Driver achieved a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of 3.4

  seconds, and a 1/4 mile time of 11.2 seconds at 130 mph. Car and

  Driver also achieved top gear acceleration 30-50 mph and 50-70 mph

  times of 1.7 and 2.4 seconds, which are the fastest ever recorded

  by the magazine in a production car. The SLR also pulled 1.13 g on

  the skid pad. The magazine suggested that the times may be even

  lower if temperatures were lower.

  Motor Trend tested the SLR and achieved a 0-60 mph acceleration

  time of 3.3 seconds in April 2006.
