Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

We can all think of cars that make us say, "Wow!" The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is definitely one of those cars. Everything about it screams speed and power, both of which the SLR McLaren is gifted with. All different versions of the SLR McLaren are anything but ordinary because although they all have automatic transmissions, they still have a top speed of over 200 mp/h and a 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds (for the standard SLR McLaren) or less. There are four versions of this car currently in production: they are the standard SLR McLaren, the SLR 722 Edition, and the SLR McLaren Roadster. The first two are coupes, while the Roadster is a convertible. The last one is extremely new and is designed solely for track use. It is called the SLR 722 GT. The design of the SLR McLaren says that it has terrific speed and power, but what about the interior? This too is a step above and beyond many comparable cars. The interior can contain anything from leather, aluminum, or carbon-fiber, and the seat cushions are even exchangeable to give the driver the utmost level of comfort and fit possible. By far, the SLR McLaren is the best example of what Mercedes-Benz can do when they create an ultra luxury sports car. This is an amazing car, and certainly one that has everything, inside and out, that it takes to be one of the world's greatest cars.
