TGIF Dream Watch: McLaren Mercedes Cabrio in Motion
Follow to our TGIF “lighter side of (auto)mobile technology” tradition, we present for your approval, the obscenely fast and expensive Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren roadster.
Just like the fixed-roof SLR, the styling cues lifted from 1950′s racing glory are present in the scoopage, and the supercharged V8 can crank you right up to 207mph. That’s enough to suck the hair plugs right out of your scalp should you attempt that velocity with the top retracted. It is cool to see the uber-exclusive Benz tooling around and ogle the doors that remind us of chopsaws. Funny, though, all that money, and you still get a fabric roof, while the lowly MX-5 can be had with a natty retractable hardtop.
Dream on!
