Readers of the German magazines Auto Zeitung and TV Movie have voted the new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Germany’s best sports car.
In the competition, to which over 81 000 readers of the two magazines contributed, the SLR McLaren was given the highest number of votes in the “Sports cars” category by a clear margin.
The swing-wing model with its supercharged, 460-kW/626-hp V8 engine, ceramic brake discs and carbon-fibre reinforced plastic body is one of the most powerful production sports cars currently on the market and transposes the latest in motorsport technology from the race track to the road.
The SLR McLaren was given its world premiere in mid-September 2003 at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA).
