2009 Mercedes SLR McLaren Roadster Spotted in Canary Island

C & 39; was in the & 39, 1999, when Mercedes-Benz introduced its Vision SLR " & quot; superscar concepts. L & 39; one is a convertible and & 39; other had a roof. The Vision SLR coupe finally been developed and was insanely fast and at affordable prices SLR McLaren cuts, was in partnership with McLaren Cars. Now, after four years in the entire production, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren are planning their interfaces SLR droptop playmate, the SLR McLaren roadster.
Spotted in the Canary Islands at a meeting of the SLR McLaren photo shows the prototype, the Roadster leadership one of only a handful of droptops destroy the barrier of 200 mph and will hopefully like & 39, one of the fastest open-roof cars sold in this country by a large manufacturer, unless on our shores l & 39, in the next year as a 2009 model. The SLR roadster seems almost identical to the current & 39; SLR McLaren cut, according to his long nose and proportions d & 39; forwards and backwards & 39;-styling.
The SLR McLaren roadster is as d & 39, a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and carbob fiber body panels, similar to the rigid roof. A tissue at the top of the page, rather than rigid & 39; one roof folds, the SLR coupe reduce costs. The SLR McLaren roadster is equipped with components of the quality of Mercedes components from large to the smallest roles Mercedes wheel. Mercedes roles are always on the vehicle track.
The SLR McLaren has scissors cuts fly doors & 39; n, but it is still not clear whether the roadster uses the same kind of door. D & 39; automotive sports enthusiasts hope that the sporty roadster will also cool down some doors since his brother cut this hip butterfly doors.
The SLR McLaren Roadster design is to provide the highest performance and the performance of courtesy d & 39, a 617-hp, 5.4-liter V8 engines of 575 lb - Pi-pair. The same engine for the SLR too rigid and allows him to sprint to60 mi / h in only a matter of 3.6 seconds and reach the speed of 207 miles / h at the moment enough to drive on asphalt & 39;. However, it would be more exciting if the Roadster will be offered, is an intensification of 641 hp & quot; 722 & quot; as a pretext cut. This is actually more appropriate, especially since & 39; l & 39; original No. 722, which is a 1955 Mercedes-Benz SLR was also a runner roadster.
The 1955 Mercedes-Benz SLR runners was established by Stirling Moss, the roadster with a victory in the Mille Miglia for three years. The expected price of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren SLR roadster is probably around 10 percent higher than the cost of $ 455750 SLR coupe. nadia rema

Freestream: A Small Big That Out-accelerates The Biggest And Best

Coming Soon, England caparo freestream supercar, which have power - - 1,000 tons per brake horsepower! Veyron brake horsepower Bugatti management has been about 560 per tonne 1,001 brake horsepower, caparo how to be able to see the other city supercar power to weight ratio ahead of the car& 39;s acceleration is something It is a fast. Is a very exciting and fast acceleration, and the safety of the vehicle can also improve some circumstances.
so is how caparo that? Because we did not, brake horsepower cars in 2000, at least 2.5 tons in weight, targeting mistake. Indeed, Bugatti demonstrate the sheer power and that means a lot of weight, especially for the transmission and brakes.
to to obtain high-power light weight ratio must be car. The reason is the high power and the weight ratio versus important? How fast, the car dictates a flat-out acceleration. High power and weight ratio of the car that gets out to cover the ground is fast, so fast straights and corner faster acceleration. So long as the treatment is good, the car was very fast everywhere.
lightweight
instead solution to go for a big chunk of engine power, is a designer who works on the McLaren F1 Press and gone for a super-compact, lightweight V-8 engine based on the technology of F1. . The result is a pencil-thin brake horsepower in the car from 480 to 10,500 RPM 2.4 liter supercharged engine, and the weight, 1,100 pounds under both the new engine and transmission are very light, all as a component of the operation. It is a very narrow body without fully enclosed fenders and reduce weight.
the overall design concept has been designed to reduce the weight and the ore laden with the weight and not to be added. First, powertrain, compared with the mass production of very light unit. Then, carbon-fiber body / chassis is lighter than most, with no experience as a designer of Grand Prix structure design trend. The powertrain is so light, the body on the low load, the weight again is not necessary to reduce the built-in structure.
it the very narrow cockpit, the driver and passengers sit back a little to reduce the width, so this would be more special than trackday car and truck road racer. Still, the changes to the car& 39;s exotic concept car where it should be - super lightweight, compact, round winding roads and exciting circuit performance. They save weight
to uses narrow-bodied coupe mudguards recycling front, side and rear fenders mounted radiant flow.
in in fact, all of these elements are used in the initial design of KORINCHAPPUMANROTASU car, and later used by companies of all racing cars. In other words, really caparo freestream Grand Prix of using technology to build a supercar. Freestream
the caparo hope is a very rare case, this is pure performance! According to the manufacturer, the car hit 200 mph, acceleration from a standing start in 5.5 seconds 100 mph! Killer! It was fast. Oh, I think it& 39;s because of the downforce available to the corner of the T1 to be able to brake and third-generation - unbelievable. This tremendous power and without KONARINGUBUREKI Grand Prix would not use the design principles.
on top of all that, caparo, many produce components for the automobile industry, freestream price of about 320,000 dollars ( 176,000). lawrence erika
