MERCEDES MCLAREN SLR ROADSTER

The Mercedes SLR is one of the most iconic names in the world of automotive and racing. From the Silver Arrows to the Mille Miglia, from drivers like Juan Manual Fangio and Stirling Moss to teams like Mercedes and McLaren, the SLR embodies it all. The SLR McLaren is powered by 5.4 liter V8 equipped with a supercharger producing 0.9 bar of boost. The hand-built AMG engine is positioned behind the front axle and delivers 626 horsepower at 6,500rpm. The maximum torque of 780Nm is available from 3,250rpm and remains at this level up to 5,000rpm. The front-mid engine is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission which transfers the power to the rear wheels. Thanks to all of this, the SLR McLaren is able to accelerate from standstill to 100km/h in 3.8 seconds, although is has been reported in some tests that the car could accelerate even faster. The SLR reaches the 200 mark after 10.6 seconds and the 300 is hit in 28.8 seconds. The quarter mile is done within 11.2 seconds and the top speed is at 334km/h.
