Default Opera SL vs. SLR

SLR (626hp) from 0 to (100 in 3.8sec, 200 in 10.6, 300 in 28.8)

Opera SL (718hp) from 0 to (100 in 3.9, 200 in 11.2, 300 in 23.9!!!)

Its true that the SLR has less HP by 92, but its lighter than the Opera by almost 500kgs...

They say that the topspeed of the Opera is 340+km/h...so its faster than the SLR in a straight line!!!

Very Surprising! :shock:

Any opinions? (I would choose the SLR )

I would go for the Opera sl, just because I think it will still handle better than the
slr(damn brakes and plasticy interior)and its a car to shock slr owners and other
supercars
300 in 23.9!!!)
wow

Do you have pics of it or any other stuff?

I never heard of the car maybe it has a better aerodynamic body or whatever but I would also choose the SLR.

This car has a 5.9 or 6.0(???) V12 engine, with two turbos...producing 718HP...

The torque is AMAZING 1120 Nm!!!!!!!!! I think only the Veyron has more!!!

It's a Mercedes SL!!!!! I just saw the car but I still would have the SLR. No question about it. I don't like tuned cars because you especially with the Opera they have changed the lokks of the car.

I would have the SLR in a second. Jus think how sophisticated this car is! It has carbon fibre, and so much F1 technology incprporated into it. That, plus the looks and sound are just ......(speechless).....
I just saw the SLR Saturday at the Canadian Auto Show, and it's VERY, VERY beautiful!
