The
Mercedes SLR
A fully functional precurser of the next generation SL by Mercedes.
The concept vehicle has some styling cues that hark back to the original
300SL Gullwing. This one is a 550 HP and 200 mph supersports coupe.
While Mercedes promised to put the SLR into production around 2003 (I'll
bet it'll run about 1/4 Mil), there will be also new SL cars at that
time. Mercedes did announce sometime ago that the new SL will be close
to a 1000 lbs lighter than the current SL500/600, and will be sold with
two engine variants. Hopefully we'll see some technology and design
spin-offs from this great looking car.
