The maximum speed of the new high-performance sports car, which is powered by an AMG V8 compressor engine delivering 460 kW/626 hp, is 332 km/h, therefore at the same high level as the coupé. ..."

No official price announced yet, but "usually reliable sources" say here in Germany 415.000 Euro net, plus 19 percent German VAT that would be 493.850 Euro. Delivery will begin in September.

Even on ultra-straight roads it seems that the curvature of the earth would get in the way of being able to see far enough ahead to stop. We're talking one American football field (100 yards ~= 90m) travelled before you could even touch the brake pedal. -tom! -- > Is this the best car in the world?? > http://automobnews.blogspot.com/2007/05/2008-mercedes-slr-mclaren-roadster.html Can I take my family out in it for a holiday in France?
