SLR McLaren Edition
Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren is back. Yes, the vehicle has returned to show certain competitor how the performance-delivering job is done. McLaren will bring a total of 25 new units to the market under the McLaren SLR Edition name, as autoblog Germany reports.
The reborn hypercar will come with a refreshed exterior that will allow it to demonstrate its potential even when standing still. The vehicle has been gifted with a redesigned front bumper that comes with oversized air intakes a new type of mesh grille. The side air vents also use a new layout, coming with a rounded shape. The aerodynamic tweaks are completed by a new rear diffuser.
The vehicle, which comes to the market one year after the production has ended, was displayed at the Essen Motor Show. However, McLaren did not release any info about the car, so we are still waiting for an official confirmation of the project. This is pretty unusual, as the development could be considered some sort of a customer tuning project, but we really have to wait and see before giving a verdict.
It seems that the SLR’s tech side has remained unchanged, which means that we’ll get the same supercharged 5.4 literV8 powerplant that delivers 626 hp and a peak torque of 780 Nm (575 lb-ft). We’ll remind you that the engine sends the power to the rear wheels via an automatic five-speed AMD Speedshift transmission. The unit allows the car to complete the 0 to 62 mph sprint in 3.8 seconds and offers it a top speed of 333 km/h (207 mph).
