The run of the Mercedes SLR McLaren supercar will soon come to an end, but that doesn’t mean that Mercedes is going to let it die quietly. Oh no. This is Mercedes’ idea of refocusing attention back onto the SLR McLaren, and it works. Brilliantly. Not only is this quite possibly the last iteration of [...]
Well, looks like Mercedes is going at it again. The SLR McLaren is a fantastic supercar, combining the luxury, quality, and technical precision of Mercedes with the performance prowess of McLaren. The car can hit 208 mph, accelerates from 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, has 617 horses and 575 pound-feet of torque. That all sounds good, [...]

Tiff from Fifth Gear does a comparison drive of the McLaren F1 and Ferrari Enzo. I would love a chance to drive either one of these (preferably the McLaren.)
