Cool SLR Stirling Moss Track Vid - OMG

This looks soooo much better in motion. I can forgive the awkward rear. FUCK that profile is gorgeous, and that side graphic is perfect.

I would love for BMW to make something like this...

thing is so ugly..

as for 5speed in the SLR.. i think that's cuz MB 7speed gearbox can't handle the power/torq hence they use the more robus 5speed.

Lambo doors are fail but I like the overall design of the car Perhaps a low profile windshield could make it a little better? I am sure if it was a BMW many people would be drooling over it

i had same transmission with my e55,its not bad,but for a half million dollar car,mercedes benz should built a specific transmission for slr,or strenthened the internals on the 7-speed.

That's not the same 5spd as your E55's.

Much faster shifts, better tech, etc.

all 5.4 liter supercharged engines(and v12 twin turbo) come with the same 5-speed autobox.faster shifts do not make a new transmission,just updated software.

But alas, this car isn't practical and besides, only 75 are going to be produced sold for around 750000 Euros each.. So it's not for everyone.
So only the ultra ultra and again ultra rich who shit money will be able to buy this car.

Btw, I love the front bumper style with the huge intakes. If this design was used in the original SLR, it would hav been

And can anyone tell me what's the purpose for that hole near the right headlight? Looks cool though.
