It might involve a downshift to do it, but a big dig at the throttle produces the kind of thrust that had everyone in our group shaking their heads in awe. Just check out our to and to times, which at 1. In any situation other than a dry day on a straight road, a deep prod at the throttle will likely be answered by the activities of both engine and electronic watchdogs.
The engine wants to give its all while the electronic systems are trying to save your life. Even then, we had a couple of occasions in traffic when a stab at the pedal produced a brief twitch of the tail.
That explains why Mercedes will not allow the ESP to be switched off completely. In fact, while we were pondering this strategy during a break at the test session, someone asked why one even needs horsepower in a street-going car.
The answer came from another writer: "To reach mph. If a company with a long motorsports history wants to flaunt its heritage in a car that evokes both the SLR of old and the Formula 1 McLaren of right now, it needs to breech the mph mark in the same way Ferrari's Enzo does. To push a big car like the SLR through an increasingly resistant atmosphere to the mph mark-particularly when it has a flat bottom, front and rear diffusers, and a tail spoiler designed to provide downforce at speed-you need big horsepower.
Mercedes performance partner AMG knows where to find it. AMG knows how to package it, too. The 5. The twin-screw blower resides in the valley between the cylinder banks, where it takes up very little space. A dry-sump lubrication system allows the V-8 to be housed lower than with a conventional oil pan. Even the side-pipe exhaust system, with its vertical mufflers, helps keep the mass centralized.
The engine sits comfortably amidships, well behind the front axle line, and contributes to the car's nearly perfect weight distribution. That lends the SLR some special handling benefits, including a front end that hangs on well after you expect understeer and a chassis that accepts additional steering lock in mid-bend without complaint.
Indeed, the SLR pulls an impressive 0. Technically I brought the statement that the chaos car already had sold 1 car, you have done nothing but fallen for a troll and do nothing else really. ChironSS 1w ago hostboy. I originally tried this simulation with a 3. I swapped it with a 2.
With a 3. I benchmarked and MPH with Motortend magazine. But Autocar are quicker because of rollout. This is what happens when German and English giants collaborate! Well in the article it gets to MPH at the mile marker. Then takes another mile to do The Ford GT I'll be honest not looked at really. But did the GT Honestly, I don't care if this car is considered "slow" nowadays, it's without a doubt the most beautiful modern Mercedes.
Because this test was done by a very respected auto magazine Motortrend and many curb weights for cars on this site come from Motortrend. I've found 2 sources, the uk page for the SLR and an archieved version of the Mclaren website, claiming a DIN curbweight of kg, which correlates perfectly with the other claimed kg which surely is the one that includes the 7kg luggage and 68kg driver and explains why in all the tests done to the car, the testweight was lower than the claimed one while in all cases the testweight is higher due to the added options; both AMS and Sportauto got kg while Autobild got kg.
Uhh, yeah it doesm tell me, has any car under mph gotten a slow lap time? You Know, Why Your at it could you list all the Nurburgring long straight top speeds? Anonymous 2 months ago [Delete] [Ban IP] how fast did it go down the nurburgring strait? Oh look my new fave meme.

Corvolet3 2d ago Age and technology considered, I think it's pretty crazy that a Carrera S can get a similar quarter mile time like this car. Reply Albiet a special one. Reply 9. Choose you're mix!

Still, it could blast from naught to 60 mph in 3. This means that horsepower-wise, the Aston looks like a sure-shot favorite, but keep in mind that a lot of variables matter in a drag race, including weight and how the power gets sent to the ground - the GTC4Lusso, for example, is AWD, while the other two cars are RWD.
Maxing out the sound level also helps. Tudor Rus. Assistant Content Manager - Automotive Expert - tudor topspeed.
