2003 McLaren Mercedes SLR

Uhh, yeah it doesm tell me, has any car under 165mph gotten a slow lap time? anyhoo,I couldnt care less about lap times, they do not matter to me at all, i just want too know the speeds they have reached on the main straight.

why?

high topspeed on the long stright does not mean fast laptimes..

You Know, Why Your at it could you list all the Nurburgring long straight top speeds? i mean just like the top 20.

how fast did it go down the nurburgring strait? ”

292km/h = 182.5mph

if this car is automatic how come in most car reviews the driver changes gear using flappy paddle like buttons?

how fast did it go down the nurburgring strait?

video of the new sls lapping the ring (NOT a hot lap) in 8 minutes.

well if thats true than why sint it called the Mercedes Benz LSR Mclaren? since its a Mercedes Benz, hence the Big ole symbol on the front.

Venom beat me to the answer.... its named the way we have it just because of the way the database is designed. Its:

1. Year 2. Company 3. Model

it is easier to organize the special editions of the slr by using mclaren mercedes as a manufacturer but yes that is the proper name..

the correct name is Mercedes Benz SLR Mclaren, Not Mclaren Mercedes SLR!!

I cannot beleive the GTR shaved over 20 seconds this cars nurburgring time, THATS GOTTA HURT!!!

THIS WHOLE CAR IS CARBON FIBER! also when you make a car that can go 208 on an open road, make the sound of thunder, have all the mercedes luxuries, weigh almost 4000 lbs and still have more stopping power than most others along with tons of grip its gonna cost a lot! go find a giant chunk of carbon fiber that will go 170 mph with the roof down, be quiet enough to let you talk and cost half as much as a mclaren f1...

how does not being a sports car justify th so-called slower lap time??

This car looks 10times better in person and its awesome but i do not really consider it a sports car whatsoever w(hich justifies the slower nurburgring time(i guess)but why is this car so expensive?If it was carbon fibre that would give it more greater times and justify the cost, so why the high price?

yes it be right..

Is the 7:40 by Autobild at Nordschleife correct? I found that link

I don't speak german but I think it says about that 7:40. If it's right please someone delete the old laptime by Sportauto.

why cant it?

WTF!?!?!? this thing cant do a a 7:40

that topspeed claim is wrong the SLR was never reached 350km/h in a real topspeed test...
Auto motor sport real numbers
Nardo test 2004.. 0-100km/h 3.8s, 0-200km/h 10.7s, 400m 11.5s, 1km 20.5s, real reached topspeed 334km/h
Nardo test 2006 .. 0-100km/h 3.8s, 0-200km/h 11.2s, 0-300km/h 36.9s, topspeed 324km/h (high temperature ruined topspeed)
2007 test by Sportscars ..0-100km/h 3.9s, 0-200km/h 11.1s, 0-300km/h 36.3s, topspeed 334km/h

can any body verify if this is true or not i realllly need to know heres the link....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_SLR_McLaren.........it says....The German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, in 2004, tested the SLR at the Nardo test track in southern Italy. They reported that the SLR accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.5 seconds, and 300 km/h (186 mph) in 24.4 seconds. The car's 400-meter time and 1 km time were found to be 10.5 seconds at 228 km/h (142 mph), and 18.5 seconds at 310 km/h (193 mph), respectively. They also reached its claimed 360 km/h (224 mph) top speed.

Removed because of missing reference I suppose.
