The SLR McLaren is undoubtedly one of the most captivating models ever to bear the Mercedes brand. Its collaboration with McLaren gives it a unique touch.
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren impressively showcases the capabilities and expertise of Mercedes-Benz and our Formula 1 partner, McLaren, in the development and production of high-performance sports cars. The two-seater pays homage to the legacy of the famous 1950s SLR racing cars with its striking gullwing doors and design elements inspired by Formula 1 Silver Arrows. Equipped with state-of-the-art racing technology and groundbreaking innovations from Mercedes, aimed at ensuring the highest level of safety and practicality, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren establishes itself as a 21st-century Gran Turismo – an exciting synthesis of tradition and innovation.
The specially developed V8 supercharged engine for the SLR generates a power of 460 kW/626 PS, propelling the sports car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. Its top speed reaches approximately 334 km/h. The body of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, like that of the Formula 1 racing cars from Mercedes-McLaren, is crafted from carbon-fiber composite materials – these lightweight materials offer remarkable energy absorption, ensuring the highest level of occupant protection. The SLR is the world's first production car with a front crash structure entirely made of carbon fibers. Adaptive airbags, newly developed knee airbags and side airbags, seatbelt tensioners, high-performance ceramic brake discs, and an automatically adaptive airbrake on the rear decklid complete the safety equipment on board the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
