    A friend of mine worked for McLaren as a design engineer and was responsible for everything in front of the bulkhead on the SLR. The main issues were all related to the immense heat generated and it's efficient removal. The heat was even melting the cast aluminium fins on the air slats so they had to revert to milling the fins from blocks of aluminium. Apparently, it makes a difference.

    I remember seeing this car years ago at the NY Auto Show. I don't think a single person thought this car was ugly, and it easily attracted the most attention that year. It may not quite hold its own against some of the newer cars today (Aventador, MP4-12C, etc.), but this car will always be one of the most beautiful ever made, period. A timeless design. Congrats on your success, Jay. I hope to have a collection even 1/10th as nice as yours someday.

    If money no obstical I'd buy it just for the fantastic noise and for some reason I love the looks of this thing--the whole package is irresistible except for the 'touchy' brakes apparently. This is one of my all time fave cars.

    I'm writing this comment in 2019: As a teenager, I had this car on a rip-out poster from one of those magazines. I STILL want this car! I know there are 1000hp super sportscars with so much electronics, but I can see myself cruising on the weekends. I hope to one day own it and maybe a 1950s SL 300 roadster! 🙏

      Patrick Pelletier no thats the previous generation. its called a 500e. I don't think it had a porsche eng. but they did help design it thats why they are worth so much

    • @patrickpelletier6315
      @patrickpelletier6315 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      John Braugh well i know there's a special Mercedes Benz around that time that had a Porshe engine. I know it sounds weird but it happened. The wheels looked just like the ones on there and the body style seemed to be the same as i remember.

    Yes, back in the 70's my friends and I would have Sterling Moss stories and pictures from magazines to share. I remember one pic of him on the track. His car was 2 feet off the ground in the middle of a right hand turn staring right into the sun and with the wheels turned hard left. hahaaa. He is unique. My friends were driving to Watkins Glen up in New York to watch a race there, and while they could drive fairly well for streeters, they mentioned that a small VW something or other passed them on a curve going at least 3 times faster than they were and concluded it had to be Mr Moss heading to the race.
