some quick info from that site....

" The SLR's engine is also an AMG production, derived from the existing 24-valve, 5439cc, supercharged V8; but now with an all-new dry-sump lubrication. It drives through a five-speed automatic transmission taken from the Maybach "


Very very nice.......

Very nice car! Wonder if the video review of it will be on Driven? Don't see it on the video zone section of the site :(

I like the side exhaust and the rear flap (similar to the one in mclaren F1). Oh, and it's "partly" designed in britain, they seemed to do a great job in getting the proportion just right. British design + German engineering = perfect supercars.

MB has been tryin to get this car into production for a few years now havent they? i seem to recall a "Vision SLR" in some mags, but then it disappeared.

i would take the porsche but those interior shots are nice. i like the center console and the start button in the shifter.

Great article. Im just not sure about the styling. Maybe it will grow on me just like the Enzo's did :D .
