MERCEDES-BENZ SLR MCLAREN
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (C199 / R199 / Z199) is a hypercar jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive, built in Portsmouth and the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey, England and sold from 2003 to 2010. When the car was developed, German automotive manufacturer Mercedes-Benz owned 40 percent of the McLaren Group and the car was produced in conjunction between the two companies. SLR is an abbreviation for “Sport Leicht Rennsport” (Sport Light Racing), an homage to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR which served as the car’s inspiration. The car was offered in coupé, roadster and a limited edition speedster variants.
