unfortunately it`s too much MB, so it can`t be a real supercar like Enzo or CGT...
a friend of mine HAD an order on a SLR, but after the driving event he cancled his order...
of course he got the downpayment of 50k€ back...
sure it`s a very, very nice car and it`s a true beauty, it has a marvellous engine as well, but it`s too comfortable=too heavy for a real supercar, it doesn`t handle like e.g. a CGT...
that`s what he told me:
there were three cars available for driving, SL500, SL55 and SLR...
they were able to test drive all of them on their own on a handling course and on a oval were they reached speeds up to 160mph...
engine is simply great, steering is quite good, a bit too comfortable, some problems at higher speeds as well but on the other hand also very direct.
brakes are kinda difficult to dose, and on longer runs they`ve some problems with the weight...
handling: very good and neutral, also very good grip...
interiour: dissapointing...
but a nice thing they experienced, they got a ride on the hot seat with a pro McLaren test driver who pushed the SLR up to 205mph, definitely an experience...
BUT: a DIN weight of 1768kg....
