THE HOTTEST FAST CAR TO BREAK NEW GROUNDS

The unmatched performance of the 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren super fast car combined with the classic Mercedes-Benz designs has become a threat to racing manufacturers and a dream to many Gran Turismo fanatics.

Inspired by the Mercedes-Benz 300SLR fast car of 1955 and the Silver Arrow race cars of 1998, this supercar automobile was developed by Mercedes-Benz and its Formula 1 partner, McLaren.

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is a two-door; luxury sports car, which is available only in one unique trim â€“ the carbon-bodied McLaren. Mercedes-Benz and McLaren will exclusively build 3,500 SLRs â€“ with a yearly production of only 500 new fast cars.

The experiences of the McLaren and Mercedes-Benz teams are evident in all the SLR McLarens due to its impressive power, practicality, safety and style.

The SLR McLaren fast cool car is equipped with a hand-made 5.5-liter supercharged V8 engine that produces 575 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm and 617 horsepower at 6,500 rpm.

This fast carâ€™s powerful V8 engine rockets from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, on its way to its top speed of 208 mph. The SLR McLaren high-performance car runs through a 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and a manual setting with several modes.

All SLR McLaren are hand-built and engineered by highly trained technicians â€“ including its engine, interior seats and the exceptional carbon structure and body panels.

It is the first super sports car to be made entirely of carbon fiber, which enhances the fast carâ€™s strength and rigidity. Having passed a carbon-fiber crash test, the SLR McLaren is said to provide incomparable energy absorption during a collision.

SLR McLaren high-performance sports cars are among the few models to include a ceramic brake technology, which provides astounding heat resistance, high stopping power, long service life and unparalleled structural strength.

The outstanding break system of this gorgeous fast car can produce an equivalent of 2,000 horsepower, which can safely bring the SLR to a halt from 200 mph.

The SLR McLaren is not just another hot fast car; it provides extensive safety measures such as front, side and knee airbags as well as an equally impressive Electronic Stability Program responsible for controlling the braking and throttling to maintain proper traction.

Another feature of the new fast car SLR McLaren that focuses on occupant protection is the carbon-trimmed leather seats with deep, side bolsters that embraces occupants.

The lucky owners of the SLR McLaren racing cars are assigned with a personal liaison manager, who is available on-call 24/7. Aside from the customer service, each owner is allowed to an exclusive on-site SLR Experience Center in Woking, England to assist the delivery of his or her newly bought hot fast car.
