[The legendary door is now open] This is the sports flagship of Mercedes-Benz, which debuted in September 2003. It was jointly developed with F1 constructor McLaren, and the famous Mercedes 300SLR of the 1950s and the modern F1. The form that fuses the machine is attractive. The carbon monocock body is equipped with a 5.5 liter V type 8-cylinder engine with a supercharger that demonstrates 626 horsepower.
