Mercedes-Benz SLR 722
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
is an Anglo-German supercar jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz
and McLaren Automotive, built in Portsmouth and theMcLaren Technology
Centre in Woking, Surrey, England. Daimler AG, owner of Mercedes-Benz,
also owns 40% of the McLaren Group.
Due
to the presence of the automatic gear box, front mid-engined
arrangement and its driving characteristics lead some commentators to
classify the SLR McLaren as a GT whose rivals can be considered to be
vehicles like the Aston Martin DBS V12 and Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.
Mercedes decided to drop the SLR due to lack of sales in late 2007.
SLR
stands for “Sport, Leicht, Rennsport” (sport, light, racing).
Mercedes-Benz has stated that they will build 3500 SLRs in a span of 7
years, with an annual production of 500 cars. The car’s base price
is GB£300,000 (approx. US$495,000 or €346,000, c. 2009). However demand
was insufficient to meet targeted sales numbers, production came to an
end in 2009 as planned.
