car is ugly as hell.

 

Well put.

 

I understand that the front of the car was done in the wind tunnel so it is aerodynamic and all, but it's very unpleasant looking. No other complaints though.

 

i would say the same thing, but i've seen one driving around here numerous times and my jaw drops everytime. It seems to be...big...yet, very agressive looking..

 

I just haven't been able to like that beak in the middle of the front, and think it looks bad on the SLK as well :noway:

 

I like the profile and the rear, the front is just plain awful.

 

Wait a sec, is that an auto I see? :ugh2:

 

Ridiculously bad ass.

Paddle shifters ftw!

I live within a stone's throw of a very upscale dealership that has a had a few...don't care for them at all. This looks like a tooner version.

 

Front end looks too too long for me. Besides that, I'm okay with it.

 

I never liked the looks of it. I'd MUCH rather have an SL65 than that thing. it's too busy looking.

Agreed, the SL65 is one beautiful car :yesway:

 

or hell, I'd even rather have the 500+ hp minivan.

I like it alot actually, ive seen it in person (normal one) and is absolutley beautiful.

The SLR has always been an automatic transmission.

And that car is indeed hideous. Gimme a McLaren F1, instead, please.

 

Sidepipes = the worst part

 

I get mixed feelings. But if I had the money, I would own it just to have it :lol:

 

maybe if I had bill gates money. and even then it's still a BIG maybe.

 

Get it in black and it's the Batmobile for your average joe :lol:! Come on, now that's cool!

:twothumb:

 

Only thing I do not like is the fucking ugly ass nose they put on the front. The car looks like it has a damn face.

Oh, and the body work just looks desperate to me. Benz went overboard with the side pipes, fender scoops, shit like that.

For $499,998 less than what Benz is asking I can purchase a matchbox Batmobile car that looks a lot better :lol: :deal:

 

those things looks so much better in black or white, not silver.

 

Coming to America: Mercedes SLR McLaren 722 GT

Some will say for better, others will say for worse, but one way or another, the Mercedes SLR McLaren is the supercar that refuses to go quietly into the night. It was previewed by the Vision SLR concept way back in 1999, and since entering limited production in 2003, the Anglo-Saxon supercar has performed disappointingly both on the road and in the market. But rather than allowing it to slip away, Mercedes has repeatedly given it new transfusions with the Roadster, 722 and most recently the 722 GT derivatives. The SLR, in all its incarnations, is about due for retirement, so where has it gone? To Florida, of course!

RENNtech, the Sunshine State-based Mercedes tuner par excellence, has been given the exclusive contract to import and distribute the long-named and long-nosed Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 GT in North America. RENNtech, which, as we reported earlier, tuned the SLR road car to actually produce 722 hp, will offer an allotment of 21 examples of the factory SLR 722 GT track-day special, each available at about $1.2 million.

To sweeten the deal, RENNtech is setting up a full track-day program for the SLR 722 GT owners, including set-up and maintenance by specialized technicians, opportunity to learn the track behind the wheel of its special SLR karts (pictured, right) and instruction from professional drivers (David Coulthard, although no longer affiliated with McLaren, is claimed to be on board).

 

Oh good grief, M-B and McLaren need to let the SLR die, already. I thought the entities had already dissolved their partnership?
