With the power of race cars and the sleek, curves and designs of a luxury car, the combination from the two car manufacturers is hard to beat.A blast from the past and a taste of the future, this might just be a good description of the latest sports car that came out from a collaboration of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz and McLaren</span>, two big giants in the car manufacturing industry. We're talking about the 2004 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. </span><br />This supercar is definitely fast. SLR McLaren sports a 626-horsepower supercharged 5.5-liter V8. Also, it has a full carbon-fiber monocoque, features crash structures and body panels. And with the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> supercharge V8 engine</span>, you can see the 2004 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren</span> go from naught to 60 miles per hour in less than 3.6 seconds. Top speed has been measured to exceed 200 mph, a feat that can only be achieved by very few even among the high performance sports cars. It was the high-performance division of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz</span> which created the V8s. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The AMG</span> were the ones who hand-build the supercharged V8 engines with top notched precision and quality. It is not at a big surprise to see the supercharged 5.5 (5439 cc) liter dry sumped 90 degree V8 engine to produce around 466.8 kW at 6500 rpm (626 hp) and 780 N·m (575 ft·lbf) torque at 3250 - 5000 rpm. The numbers maybe daunting but the sound of the engine will appease the minds of those who long for the perfect high performance cars.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_735591561" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390802531967281314" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Ss_6V1QvqKI/AAAAAAAAAJU/enhg-tZ6Xf4/s400/SLR-McLaren-Mercedes-Benz-Sports-Car-2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">SLR McLaren Mercedes-Benz Sports Car</span></div><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_735591561"><br /></a><br />Mounting that V8 engine into the body of SLR exotic car is also not as traditional as one would like to expect. The engine in SLR sports car is placed in a front mid-engine position just behind the front wheels. Instead of using the traditional oil-pan, dry-sump lubricants are used. With this innovation, it is highly possible to mount the engine to a level that used to be unachievable. Because of the low position of the engine in the supercar's body, the results are more than one hoped. The new Mercedez-Benz SLR McLaren race car has better aerodynamics and better handling due to the lower center of gravity.<br />Not only does the mean features of the sports car that attracts attention but how the two car companies were able to fuse their own traditions and expertise into a single exotic car. For one, McLaren's expertise in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Formula 1</span> has been imbibed wholly by the <span style="font-weight: bold;">SLR's desig</span>n. The composition of carbon fiber material that was used in the body of the new SLR sports car is so Formula 1. Because of this body, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren has become more rigid and surprisingly strong.<br />The SLR also has a five speed automatic transmission. There are modes, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sport, Comfort and Manual </span>which basically covers every known driving style. Sport is for everyday use, Comfort for bumpy or slippery roads, and Manual gives you control over the gears either through the touchpad or the levers on the steering wheel. When you use Manual, you open up three more modes, namely <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sport, Supersport and Race</span>. Speed increased significantly as you go up shifts.<br /><br /></div>

Bentleys will never be the most economical or environmentally friendly of vehicles but at least they're recognizing the fact that times are changing.The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Continental Supersports</span> began as an 'under the radar' project exploring the possibilities of weight reduction on the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Continental GT </span>but with more power and torque.The Bentley Continental<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Supersports</span> is the fastest and most powerful Bentley ever. It is the extreme Bentley, a muscular two-seater that delivers supercar performance and a highly focused driving experience.

This is achieved across virtually the complete rev range, from just 1700 to 5600 rev/min, delivering that characteristic Bentley wave of torque.Engine efficiency improvements result from the use of<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">lower friction, lighter-weight components and a new engine management system, while twin, low inertia turbochargers with minimal turbo lag contribute to the W12 engine's flat torque curve. The GTC Speed engine is visually differentiated by the 'crackle black' finish to the intake manifold.The Continental GTC's steel body has an exceptionally rigid torsional stiffness of around 30Hz that not only minimises 'scuttle shake' but provides a very stable platform for the aluminium-intensive suspension system, optimising its performance.

This is achieved across virtually the complete rev range, from just 1700 to 5600 rev/min, delivering that characteristic Bentley wave of torque.Engine efficiency improvements result from the use of<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">lower friction, lighter-weight components and a new engine management system, while twin, low inertia turbochargers with minimal turbo lag contribute to the W12 engine's flat torque curve. The GTC Speed engine is visually differentiated by the 'crackle black' finish to the intake manifold.The Continental GTC's steel body has an exceptionally rigid torsional stiffness of around 30Hz that not only minimises 'scuttle shake' but provides a very stable platform for the aluminium-intensive suspension system, optimising its performance.

With the power of race cars and the sleek, curves and designs of a luxury car, the combination from the two car manufacturers is hard to beat.A blast from the past and a taste of the future, this might just be a good description of the latest sports car that came out from a collaboration of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz and McLaren</span>, two big giants in the car manufacturing industry. We're talking about the 2004 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. </span><br />This supercar is definitely fast. SLR McLaren sports a 626-horsepower supercharged 5.5-liter V8. Also, it has a full carbon-fiber monocoque, features crash structures and body panels. And with the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> supercharge V8 engine</span>, you can see the 2004 <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren</span> go from naught to 60 miles per hour in less than 3.6 seconds. Top speed has been measured to exceed 200 mph, a feat that can only be achieved by very few even among the high performance sports cars. It was the high-performance division of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mercedes-Benz</span> which created the V8s. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The AMG</span> were the ones who hand-build the supercharged V8 engines with top notched precision and quality. It is not at a big surprise to see the supercharged 5.5 (5439 cc) liter dry sumped 90 degree V8 engine to produce around 466.8 kW at 6500 rpm (626 hp) and 780 N·m (575 ft·lbf) torque at 3250 - 5000 rpm. The numbers maybe daunting but the sound of the engine will appease the minds of those who long for the perfect high performance cars.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Ss_6V1QvqKI/AAAAAAAAAJU/enhg-tZ6Xf4/s1600-h/SLR-McLaren-Mercedes-Benz-Sports-Car-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390802531967281314" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Ss_6V1QvqKI/AAAAAAAAAJU/enhg-tZ6Xf4/s400/SLR-McLaren-Mercedes-Benz-Sports-Car-2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">SLR McLaren Mercedes-Benz Sports Car</span></div><br />Mounting that V8 engine into the body of SLR exotic car is also not as traditional as one would like to expect. The engine in SLR sports car is placed in a front mid-engine position just behind the front wheels. Instead of using the traditional oil-pan, dry-sump lubricants are used. With this innovation, it is highly possible to mount the engine to a level that used to be unachievable. Because of the low position of the engine in the supercar's body, the results are more than one hoped. The new Mercedez-Benz SLR McLaren race car has better aerodynamics and better handling due to the lower center of gravity.<br />Not only does the mean features of the sports car that attracts attention but how the two car companies were able to fuse their own traditions and expertise into a single exotic car. For one, McLaren's expertise in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Formula 1</span> has been imbibed wholly by the <span style="font-weight: bold;">SLR's desig</span>n. The composition of carbon fiber material that was used in the body of the new SLR sports car is so Formula 1. Because of this body, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren has become more rigid and surprisingly strong.<br />The SLR also has a five speed automatic transmission. There are modes, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sport, Comfort and Manual </span>which basically covers every known driving style. Sport is for everyday use, Comfort for bumpy or slippery roads, and Manual gives you control over the gears either through the touchpad or the levers on the steering wheel. When you use Manual, you open up three more modes, namely <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sport, Supersport and Race</span>. Speed increased significantly as you go up shifts.<br />With all these features it is not surprising that the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is classified as a <span style="font-weight: bold;">sports car and a supercar</span>. Remember to get this right, though, the "SLR" does not stand for "Sportlich, Leicht, Rennsport" which is German for "Sport; Light; Racing" as most people think. Its real meaning is "super-leicht, Rennsport" which means "super-light, racing." The sports car is being sold with a base price of €443,066 £300,000 or $450,000.<br /></div>
