its small but SWEET! :D

wow, that's very cool
thanks for the pic!

is this pic taken during the testing stage?

Thank you ! Hard tests :)

very interesting! does anything know anything about this?

Wow, just like F1............I hope it last longer than the F1 Mclaren tho LOL

explain.

Sweeeeeet, thanks.

that is a nice, not many road cars light up like that. Is it the carbon that does it? Cause i was talking to my cusin who is a track driver and he says he dosnt see red brakes on road cars.

Oh man ...i didn't know that someone was taking a pic of me ..looooooool :twisted:

nice man thanks for it ......

Damn...that looks really cool. I didn't know that they fit such a mechanism in the SLR. Any more pics of it ??

:arrow: more pics

there´s a six page article in the previous AMS issue, a comparision between 300 SLR Uhlenhaut-Coupé and SLR McLaren, very nice and good read, unfortunately in german only...

why would you try to get your brakes to glow it ruins them :roll: but if i was a track driver i would do that just for show :twisted:

great pic for a wallpaper, too bad it's so small

It doesn't ruin the brakes, the SLR has ceramic brakes, they are made to take abuse and it it normal for them to glow when you are under hard braking, its how they disipate heat.

Cool pic btw.

What is this mechanism you speak of? The brakes on that SLR are glowing because of the heat created by heavy braking. This is not some ricer glowy shit. Why would they put that on a SLR?
