The Star Shines – The Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren Roadster is the perfect blend of Formula 1 technology and a luxury Roadster. The SLR has a low and strung-out frame and is always prepared to storm ahead. In the long history of Mercedes Benz these three letters have alway stood for Sportlichkeit (Sportiness), Leistung (Performance) and Siege (Victories). Whenever an SLR comes into sight it is as sure to attract a crowd – just as a UFO landing in front of the Vatican would do. However, what really makes the SLR so special is the fact that it does not only look great in a showroom but is also perfectly suited for everyday use, for example to go grocery shopping in Monaco.
