    The Mercedes-McLaren SLR cost $500,000 only a few years ago -- about the same as the Ferrari Enzo and Porsche Carrera GT. Here's a closer look at the SLR.

    • @Irfan87
      @Irfan87 4 ปีที่แล้ว +56

      "The terms "grand tourer", "gran turismo", "grande routière", and "GT" are among the most misused terms in motoring. The grand touring designation generally "means motoring at speed, in style, safety, and comfort. Purists define "gran turismo" as the enjoyment, excitement and comfort of open-road touring."

    Something about this car's design is absolutely timeless. It falls into the same sort of feeling as the Honda S2000 or the Carrera GT. All it needs is maybe a facelift and they could easily market it today. The SLS looks older than the SLR.

    The SLR always reminded me of something of a German Viper. The long hood, side exhaust, roofline, character and sound are all reminiscent of the Viper imo. It’s also interesting that the SLR and the 3rd gen Viper were released the same year (2003) and Chrysler was owned by MB at the time. Coincidence? ... Maybe. Makes me wonder if there was any communication between the development teams.

      I agree with you for the most part! I’d say everything other than the headlights has aged well(that style imo hasn’t aged well from the Mercedes cars of that era). But I think the Carrera GT and the Enzo have aged well too! Enzo the least out of all of them though.

    G-d, I just love the sound of that supercharger whine.
    About ten years ago I got to play around with one of these because me and my best friend convinced a salesman at the Mercedes of Beverly Hills dealership that my best friends father and my uncle (we were first cousins in this story mind you) was a gazillionaire oil magnate and that as a surprise for his 60th Bday we wanted to replace his Porsche GT lmao
    Amazingly the salesman actually was on board and bought our ridiculous alibi. Anyways, one cool feature or quirk as Doug would call it and which he neglected to point out is that I noticed the car had this cool feature where if you were listening to the radio it could rewind or pause the live broadcast. Almost like a radio version of TiVo which meant it had to have a hard drive of some sort for digital storage capacity. Just was rly impressed by that feature, especially all the way back then.
    This incredible vehicle is criminally underrated and doesn’t get nearly enough love or recognition as if undeniably deserves many times over

    The useable supercar, I live where these were made and a friend who works for Maclaren arranged for me to go round the test track at Dunsfold in one, yes, it is insanely quick, but what I remember most was the braking and also the heat radiating out the body after it had been driven hard, this is a Mercedes Maclarenan, a blend of two worlds, that is like no other car.

    The transmission on the SLR which is the Mercedes Benz 722.6 5 speed auto trans that was used a lot in their high HP high torque models like the McLaren SLR and the E55 AMG. This unit was known for being light weight and capable of handling 1000 HP/TQ with a few small modifications. It was used in a lot Chrysler products where it was known as the NAG1. A favorite auto trans among Mopar drag racers.
    At the New York Auto Show in 2006 I noticed one small but really cool detail about the SLR. It was that it had a ram air intake right through the Mercedes Bez three point star badge in the front grill.

    That's how start buttons used to work before the starter switch was integrated into the ignition lock.
    You'd get into your car, insert the key and twist it, then you pressed the start button. It's a true retro feature.
