Premium Super Sports CarFormula One-derived auto
constructor McLaren Cars cooperated with DaimlerChrysler to produce the
Mercedes-Benz SLR, which debuted at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show. The long
nose/short deck body is built of carbon composite material, and a powered by an
AMG tuned 5.5L V8 screw-type supercharger engine, located in front position for
optimum weight balance. Monstrous power output of 466.8 kw at BSOOrpm (626 hp)
and 79.6kgm torque at 3250 - 5000 rpm is handled by a 5-speed automatic
transmission. The car Is capable of amazingly fast acceleration and super-quick
braking thanks to its massive carbon ceramic brake discs and pop-up rear
spoiler. The name SLR (Sports Light Racing) was originally used on the 1955
sports radng car 300 SLR, and made a comeback with this Benz-McLaren machine.
High-Class ModelThis 195mm long model
impressively reproduces the SLR's elongated form, which is enabled by its ront-mounted
engine, a rarity among super sports cars. Accents such as front hood fin, and
horizontal fins on fender slits are depicted by separate parts. Internal
mechanisms reproduced by separate parts include supercharger and engine air box,
which are simple to attach yet add incredible realism. The luxurious interior
exhibits minutely detailed seats and dashboard controls. Gloss and matte-type
metal plated parts as well as metal transfers ensure high quality finish. After
assembly, the Gull-wing doors feature working hinges with metal shafts for
realistic and smooth opening. Metal stays allow doors to be posed in open
position for full display of interior. The front hood also opens with 2-step
hinge, for range of movement just like the real car, and allows display of
exquisitely reproduced engine upper surface. Line this gorgeous model alongside
Tamiya's 1/24 scale Porsche Carrera GT and Enzo Ferrari to showcase a fantastic
lineup of 3 of the top premium supercars in the world!
