Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster 722 S – Front Angle PicturesVideo game lovers got their first taste of Mercedes’ sporty venture in the late 1990s with the then mere concept McLaren in the game Need for Speed. It wasn’t long until McLaren Automotive, working with Mercedes, released the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren in 2003.

From the start, this supercar turned heads with its impressive outer design and inner powerhouse Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster 722 S – Rear Angle Picturescomponents. The SLR (Sport, Light, Racing) was built at a rate of 500 per year for the 6 years it was in production. No matter if it’s the newest model off the lines or one of the oldest, this supercar can fly past the competition with ease.

The outside of the McLaren is incredibly futuristic, to say the least. On the inside, with the help of an onboard computer, the car is basically alive – with the ability to adjust its own spoiler height and angle of elevation.

The SLR is surprisingly fuel efficient for a supercar, though it weighs more than others in the class like the Lamborghini. The McLaren receives 16 miles per gallon, which might not seem like a lot but still, it’s good compared to the competition.

The car’s performance is helped along with a lightweight carbon-fiber body and a classic, aerodynamic racing design.

The all-wheel-drive (AWD) Murcielago, like most from the Lamborghini line, immediately turned heads. Even though the brand is certainly Italian, the name Murcielago means “bat” (as in the animal) in Spanish. Language lessons aside, to the common person, Murcielago simply means “wow.”

Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloceLamborghini hasn’t really dropped off the map in terms of trendsetting power in recent years; it’s just that other manufacturers, like Bugatti, have caught up. Of course, the Murcielago’s 6.5-liter V12 632 horsepower engine is nothing to sneeze at, but it’s not the most powerful out.

This is uncharted territory for Lamborghini. For years, the only other manufacturer to give them a run for their money in terms of out-and-out speed was Ferrari. Try as they might, other manufacturers still cannot remove Lamborghini from the top ranking among the world’s best sports cars. They’re a mainstay. Read the rest of this entry »
