Yawn, its a merc, so it will be automatic, the original slr was the nicest looking thing merc is capable of, the speedster idea is just the german version of a retro muscle car. I expected more of MB then to release ideas about a speedster model a month after Audi. But back to the design. There isn't one, the audi speedster had revised body work, this is just a regular slr roadster with no windshield for weight savings...

this is fantastic video, it gives me a feeling that this car is very special. Maybe merc by itself published this?

They again just trying to keep up with BMW, BMW comes out with a speedster and it was only a matter of time that mercedes would do the same. And frankly speaking do see what the big deal is, these type of cars aren't exactly something to drool about. Hell, you can never drive one becuase the safety rules, so why even bother wasting funds in coming up with this car when they should rather put it to good use and come up with a new design for mercedes supercar. oh wait they probably waiting for BMW to release the new m1 before designing their "own".

Because the people who buy them will drive them on the street regardless what the government says. They have the funds to pay the fines and any impound fees.

no, no I didn't. All I heard was the wind and a very slight noise when they started it on the side of the road. Very MB like, remove all the aggression and passion from their cars, so that it won't upset the neighbors in your 60 plus community when you drive past in it.

Goodness Joe_, must you always hate? The first 16 sec were full of fly-bys. The supercharger and exhaust sound SO good. The production SLR has the same exhaust grumble, but the supercharger on here sounds like no other Ive ever heard!

guess I am not old enough to appreciate their conservative styling/performance/interiors at the cost of their not so conservative price.

Xanavi, that is so true. Sadly realy we can only dream about owning a slr and then we have these fools that have the cash and total then the next day and laugh about it

I don't understand why Mercedes refuses to put a proper manual transmission into any of its performance cars.
