Among all these super small and cute cars at the Paris Auto Show 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster was literally a breath of fresh air. This model of Mercedes belongs to these expensive and luxurious cars where even minor changes are met with happiness.
The new Roadster 722 S comes with the same powerful 5.4-liter engine, three-valve V-8. The car boasts a five-speed automatic transmission, that is completely adequate and predictable while driving.
0 to 62 mph really can be achieved in 3.7 seconds. The car ensures amazing driving performance that can be evaluated only while driving on a free autobahn like German one. This Mercedes feels itself at high speed more than natural and usual. The car is comfortable while driving. Even driving with open roof is possible at 200kph (125 mph).
The SLR Roadster is rather heavy car that features 4000 pounds because it was constructed without taking into consideration weight-saving measures. The car has specific 19-inch wheels, special semi-aniline leather/alcantara seats, and other key features…
According to the Mercedes directors, only 3500 units will be sold.
