2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR

Mild manners belie racecar performance. edited by Jim McCraw

Summary

2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR

If you have half a million dollars not committed elsewhere, and you want a whole lot of car that says a whole lot about you and the level of performance you demand in life, in business, and in automotive transportation, the Mercedes-Benz SLR roadster make a grand entrance like very few other cars in automotive history. Yet it's not moody or persnickety or uncomfortable for long, meandering drives through the countryside. But this car is also very much about pulling up to country clubs, movie premieres, sporting events, restaurants and night clubs with the top down and the panache oozing from every molecule. Great car, all around.

NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Jim McCraw test drove the SLR Roadster in Germany and filed this report from Konigstein.
