1996_S500 Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: The SLR's future my guess is that they will at least do a facelift on the SLR, like they always do, but I'm not sure about them making a "New SLR". I think they will make something completely new. I remember reading in a car magazine last year that they may make a McLaren Mercedes P8 in 2008 or so. I assume it will be released much later, if it is. Here are some pics of the design: (McLaren P8 001.jpg) (McLaren P8 002.JPG) Attachments ---------------- McLaren P8 001.jpg (40KB - 24 downloads) McLaren P8 002.JPG (7KB - 28 downloads) | ||

AsianML Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: The SLR's future I recall that the P8 was slotted to be the hardcore supercar whereas the SLR was more of a GT. The P8 is rumored to be mid-engine, rear wheel drive, yadda yadda yadda. | ||

The P8 is rumored to be mid-engine, rear wheel drive, yadda yadda yadda. Sounds cool. That would be cool if they made it. Would the P8 be in Veyron Territory, or...?? | ||

AsianML Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: The SLR's future I don't think anything will be able to touch the Veyron in terms of top speed. I don't know how the Veyron handles, so I can't comment on it. I think the P8 is slotted to go against the Ferraris and Lamborghinis. | ||
