Because a car like this is very important to the image of Mercedes-Benz. The technology incorporated in this car will pave the way for some similar high-tech features to filter down to other Mercedes-Benz models. Here’s what we’ll be talking about:

McLaren Cars- History We’ll start our SLR story with a look at the history of McLaren, our partner in the development and production of the SLR McLaren.

McLaren Cars- History Founded by Bruce McLaren as Bruce McLaren Motor Racing in 1964 Bruce McLaren- youngest driver to win a F1 Grand Prix, US GP Sebring, FL 1959 age 19. Bruce McLaren from Auckland, NZ won the New Zealand Driver to Europe Award as a rising star headed for Formula One. A talented driver as well as an intuitive engineer. His abilities in the car enabled him to apply theories to race car design and be able to quantify them. His first drive in Formula 1 came with his compatriot Jack Brabham on the English Cooper Team. Bruce’s win at Sebring, FL in the USGP of 1959 enabled team mate Brabham to clinch his 1st of 3 World Driving Championships. Bruce McLaren Motor Racing was founded in 1965, for Bruce to enter his own cars in international competition.

McLaren Cars- History Came to race in the US in 1966-Can Am Championship Entered Formula Team McLaren dominates the Can Am Championship Bruce McLaren killed May, 1970 BMMR, (Bruce McLaren Motor Racing) sets up shop in the US to enter cars in the unlimited sports car racing series the Canadian American Challenge Cup (CanAm). This series attracted the best of Europe’s teams due to its large prize money and the “no rules” approach to technology. These big bore sports racers came to define the sport of road racing in the US and Canada from 1966 to Team McLaren with drivers McLaren and Denny Hulme won all of the Can Am Championships and most of the races from 1967 to Until Porsche steamrollered the series in 1972 with their 1100hp. 917, leading to the death of the series in 1974. Bruce was killed testing the 1970 M8D Can Am racer at Goodwood, England just before the 1970 Indy 500. His wife Pat and partner Teddy Mayer take over the running of the Team now with cars in Formula 1, Formula 2, Can Am and Indy Car Racing. The US operation became McLaren Engines, which supplied engine building and servicing for a number of race series in N. America including Indy Cars, Sports Cars, Drag Racing and Stock Car Racing. The operation was sold eventually to American Sunroof Corp., which built special versions of Ford Mustangs and Mercury Cougars. More recently the company produced a special version of the Lincoln LS and offers engineering consulting in the areas of emissions certification and performance.

McLaren Cars- History Merged with Project 4 in 1980 to form McLaren International 1981-Pioneering use of Carbon Fiber construction in race car with McLaren MP4 Joint venture with TAG Group in 1982, investment, 1985 forming TAG McLaren Group. McLaren Cars formed under TAG McLaren Group,1990 to explore road car production Partnership with Mercedes-Benz in 1995 for F1 engine Pat McLaren and partner Teddy Mayer sell their interest in Team McLaren to Ron Dennis of Project Four Racing to form McLaren International in 1980. Teddy Mayer leaves to run GB base of Penske Racing. Ron Dennis assumes day to day running of the Team. The 1981 McLaren MP4 is the first automotive use of the space age material Carbon Fiber. The chassis tub of the 1981 MP4 (McLaren Project 4) is designed by McLaren and constructed by Hercules Aerospace of Wilmington, DE. This is the beginning of the use of carbon construction in automobiles. Marlboro McLaren MP4 wins 1981 British GP with driver John Watson to score the first racing success for the new technology. The TAG Group,(also known for Heuer watches), McLaren’s partner from the TAG Porsche engine project of starts a joint venture with McLaren in 1982 with a major investment into the company in The name McLaren Cars is established in 1989. Mercedes-Benz begins joint venture with Ilmor Engineering in 1994 leading to the Mercedes powered Sauber and later McLaren F1 cars that debuted in Ilmor Mercedes engines steal the 1994 Indy 500 from under the noses of the established engine builders, Ford Cosworth and Chevrolet. McLaren and Mercedes win their first World Championship together in 1998.

McLaren wins the F1 World Constructor’s Championship in ’74-’84-’85-’88-’89-’89-’90-’91-’98.

McLaren Cars-History F1 ,F1GTR, F1 LM
Winner 24 Hours of LeMans first time out, 1995 110 built for race and street 627 hp. BMW V-12 Top speed mph- the fastest street car built* All carbon construction Still the benchmark for all ultra high performance cars. McLaren Cars’ first road car project is launched in 1992 under the supervision of Chief Designer Gordon Murray who was responsible for some of the most successful race cars of the 70’s to the 90’s. Called the F1, this car was intended to be the benchmark for ultra high performance no compromise road cars. Powered by a V-12 engine developed by BMW producing over 600 hp, this all carbon constructed car was built in 3 series for a total of 110 cars starting in of those cars were racers. The F1 featured a unique 3 abreast seating with the driver in the middle and forward. A handful of the F1GTR’s were entered in the Hours of LeMans with the resulting 1,2,3… placing. The original prototype called XP-1 set the world record for a top speed for a road car at mph. A record that was only just bettered in April 2005 by the Koenigsegg CCR at mph. The original selling price of the F1 was approx. $1million. When a car comes up for sale today it still commands a similar price. McLaren Cars facilitates the buying and selling of these cars and as well as the upkeep and maintenance. There is an authorized service point in Southern California to service the 10 or so cars that live in North America despite the F1 never being officially imported. * Fastest Street car record broken in April, 2005 by Koenigsegg mph

McLaren Technology Center:
McLaren Cars-History McLaren Technology Center: Woking, GB Opened May, 2004 In early 2004 McLaren operations move into the McLaren Technical Center the ultra modern partly underground facility in Woking near London. All construction and development of McLaren Formula One cars and Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren road cars based here. In May of 2004 the McLaren Technology Center was officially opened by HRH Queen Elizabeth II. On hand were all McLaren employees as well as the head of Mercedes-Benz Car Group Dr. Jurgen Hubbert and Chairman and CEO of DaimlerChrysler, Jurgen Schremp. Most of the living race drivers who had piloted McLaren racers through the years were also present.

McLaren-History SLR Production
SLR is produced to order at the McLaren Technology center, with engines and components shipped from AMG and Mercedes-Benz in Germany.

McLaren-History SLR Production 540 cars per year Approx.110 for US
6.5 year production run This “production line” will produce SLR for 6.5 years, with a maximum of 540 cars per year. After that future McLaren Mercedes high performance cars will be produced here.

Mercedes-Benz SLR-History
Lets take a look at the heritage and history of the Mercedes-Benz SLR.

A Return to Racing SL (W194) 1st 24 Hours of LeMans 1st Nurburgring 2nd Mille Miglia 1st Carrera Panamericana 1952:Mercedes-Benz shakes off the dust and rubble of WWII and develops its first post war design, the 300SL. Originally built for racing only, the gullwing doors are required due to the tubular space frame construction. A tuned version of the 300 Sedan’s 3.0 liter in-line 6 cylinder engine develops 175 hp pushing the aerodynamic coupe to a 150 mph top speed. A triumphant win in the Hours of LeMans is followed up with successes at the 14 mile long Nurburgring and a famous win in the border to border open road race in Mexico, the Carrera Panamericana. (Mexican Road Race). Both of these important race winners still exist. The Mexican Road Race winner is owned by MB Classic. The 24 Hours of LeMans winner is in the hands of a prominent collector in Washington state. This racing success leads to the development of the 300SL (W198) for the street introduced in 1954 with 225hp and for the first time in a gasoline powered car, fuel injection.

Technology Advances 1954 W196 GP Car develops into the 300SLR 300 hp. 8 cylinders 10 SLR’s built, 9 survive Mercedes-Benz advances technology just as they did in the late 30’s with the development of the W196 F1 Grand Prix car in (top picture). The 300SLR for long distance Sports Car Racing is derived from it in 1955 with a 3.0 liter version of the W196’s 2.5 liter In-line 8 cylinder. Advances include desmodromic positive valve operation that allows exceptionally high rpm’s. (Still used today by Ducati motorcycles). Magnesium is used for frames and bodywork. Designed by engineer Rudolph Uhlenhaut, whose driving skills were as good as his best drivers enabling him to develop the car with his own input. He was Mercedes-Benz’ secret weapon in race car and later passenger car design from the mid 1930’s until his retirement in the late 60’s. 10 SLR Roadsters were built, 9 survive all owned by MB Classic.

More Racing Successes 300SLR wins 6 times in 1955. Argentina GP Swedish GP Tourist Trophy-GB Targa Florio-Italy Nurburgring-Germany Mille Miglia-Italy 300SLR enters 7 races in 1955, wins 6 enroute to the World Sportscar Championship. Withdrawn from the 24 Hours of LeMans while leading after a 300SLR is involved in a horrific crash that kills the driver and 86 spectators. The Mille Miglia win, 1000 miles around Italy from Rome to Brescia to Rome is covered by Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson in 10 hours, 7 minutes for a record average speed of almost 100mph. A record that still stands today. The 300SLR remains one of the most successful sports racing cars in the history of the sport.

The SLR that never raced Only 2 Coupes built Both survive, owned by MB Classic Mercedes builds 2 300SLR Coupes to compete in 1955 Mexican Road Race. The race is cancelled after too many casualties in the 1954 race. Mercedes-Benz withdraws from racing at the end of the 1955 season sighting the fact that there is nothing left for it to win, having won the 1954 and ’55 Formula 1 World Driving Championship with Juan Manuel Fangio and the W196, as well as the 1955 World Sports Car Championship with the SLR. Rudi Uhlenhaut, becomes head of passenger car development, and drives one of the 180 mph SLR Coupes on the road. He influenced engineering of MB passenger cars into the 70’s. Both coupes are in the Museum collection today, and make frequent appearances at historic events world wide.

SLR McLaren The spirit of the 1955 300 SLR….
The 2005 SLR McLaren combines the heritage and spirit of the original SLR with the technology capabilities of McLaren and today’s Mercedes-Benz engineers to produce the modern interpretation of the 50’s Super Sports Coupe. The spirit of the SLR….

SLR McLaren-Technology
Now we’ll talk about SLR technology, starting with Carbon Fiber composite and its role in the construction of the SLR McLaren.

SLR McLaren-Carbon Fiber Technology
Composites: 1+1=3 Carbon Fiber Design Goals: High performance Safety Economics Damage tolerance Durability Low Maintenance 1+1=3. Composite construction- 2 materials with differing properties combine to form a superior material. Fibers of glass, aramid, polyethylene, or carbon bear the load and create the stiffness and resistance to fatigue. The Matrix- plastics, (polyester, epoxy, nylon), metals or ceramic, hold the fibers together.

Developed for aeronautics in the 70’s First used by Airbus in airliner structure Pioneered by McLaren in Formula 1 in 1981 Used today in ships, bridges, wind mills, sports equipment, etc. Developed for use in military aircraft and later for airliners. DCX affiliate Airbus pioneered use of Carbon Fiber composite in airliner construction. (Airbus A shown for Northwest Airlines.) Used in stealth technology as a radar absorbing material. Used for tethering off shore oil rigs and for cables in suspension bridges. Also used for golf club shafts and sport bicycle frames. Revolutionized race car construction when McLaren used it in the 1981 MP4. All Formula One cars now are all carbon construction. Exceptional crash absorbing properties and superior performance. Carbon Fiber is also used for body pieces and add-ons such as spoilers, hoods and fender flares. Most race cars today, except for NASCAR, use Carbon Fiber body and structure components. Some street cars such as Porsche 911GT2, Dodge Viper, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo and Corvette use carbon fiber body pieces.

5 times stronger than steel 1/2 the weight of steel 1/3 lighter than aluminum Among carbon fibers’ advantages over steel are: light weight, high stiffness, resistance to corrosion, can be tailored for the application. Absorbs 4-5 times more energy in a collision. Disadvantages include: low volume production, high cost, temperature and humidity sensitivity.

McLaren developed automated process for carbon fiber chassis construction. Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process for SLR chassis and some components. Compression Molding for other components There are more than 7 different composite material process combinations in the production of the SLR. Over a period of 4 years McLaren Composites has developed an automated process for the production of the carbon fiber tub of the SLR. Up until this development all carbon fiber work was hand applied and then prepared with heat and pressure in a special machine called an autoclave. Autoclave still used, but process is now automated. Resin Transfer Molding (RTM): dry carbon fibers are introduced into 2 sided mold with resin injected and then heated. Compression Molding (CM) uses heat and pressure to form smaller components used for SLR scuttle. Allows larger volumes. Same process using plastics is used for CL, CLK, and Maybach deck lids.

Front Crash Structure Dissipates large amounts of crash energy with controlled vaporization. First such structure in a production car. Easily replaced. The carbon fiber Front Crash Structure (FCS) is made up of 25,000 fine carbon filaments woven from 48 reels. Process takes just 12 minutes. The result weighs only 7.5 lbs. FCS crushes to absorb crash energy. Controlled disintegration cannot be duplicated with metals. Forms front end crash protection of SLR.

Full Carbon Chassis With Carbon Front Crash Structures The SLR is the second full carbon design street car from McLaren. The first was the F1. Other full carbon street cars: Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari Enzo, Konigsegg CC8S, Bugatti Veyron. The Front Crash Structures (FCS) are attached to the aluminum engine cradle/subframe. The nose structure which is also carbon is attached to them.

Full Carbon Chassis Aluminum Engine Carrier 30% lighter than steel construction 4-5 times stiffer than steel Highest level of crash safety for size and weight In addition to the carbon fiber tub, SLR has carbon bodywork and other components including the rear shelf which is made from Advanced Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) to form a one piece complex shape. SLR will only be available as a coupe, due to its full carbon fiber chassis design, which requires a roof structure as part of the makeup.

SLR McLaren-Performance Technology
Front Mid Engine Design Rear wheel drive Near 50/50 Weight Distribution Lets look now at SLR performance technology including engine, transmission and brakes. The SLR’s engine sits entirely behind the front axle line, for a front mid engine layout. Near perfect 50/50 weight distribution.

5.5 liter AMG V-8 Clam shell hood opening SLR clam shell carbon fiber hood opens forward, (removed in this photo) to allow unlimited access to underhood components. Rearward position of engine is visible here.

M Liter AMG 90 deg V-8 92mm stroke 97mm bore Dry Sump Oiling Split Crankcase-Block Nikasil Cylinder Coating One Man -One Engine The M155 engine in the SLR is an all new AMG designed and built Supercharged 5.5 liter V-8. It is not the SL55 engine. They have a similar supercharger, but share no other major components. The cylinder block and crankcase are cast in two different pieces for strength and are made of aluminum. The cylinders are coated with a Nickel/Silicon compound for durability and high pressures. Pistons are forged and matched with connecting rods. Crankshaft runs in 5 bearings. The oil system is of a dry sump design which keeps oil in a separate tank rather than in the sump at the bottom of the engine. (Like most racing engines). This way the engine sits lower in the car, lowering the center of gravity, and making for a nice low hood line. Also the dry sump system pressurizes the oil so the over 1.0g cornering capabilities of the SLR will not starve the engine for oil. This is the first street MB with dry sump oiling since the 450SEL 6.9 from 1977 to oil pumps are used for delivery and proper scavenging. The system holds 9 quarts. As with all AMG engines, each engine is assembled by one engine builder from sourcing parts to running up on the dyno to seat the internal components. “One Man One Engine”. There are over 100 AMG engine builders, only 10 build the SLR engines.

5.5 liter AMG V-8 3 Valve- Twin Spark Supercharged-1.9 bar Intercooled 617 rpm 585 lb ft rpm RPM. The SLR engine is redlined at 7000 RPM, making it the highest revving V-8 engine ever offered in a Mercedes-Benz production vehicle. FYI, the Mercedes Benz V-8 F1 engine in the latest McLaren Grand Prix cars revs to over 19,000 RPM !. 2 Intercoolers, one per cylinder bank lower the intake charge air to 60 degrees C using coolant flow in 2 separate circuits with radiator. Separate accessory belt drives the Lysholm, (screw type) supercharger, as on SL55, turns at 25,000 rpm and provides 1.9 bar boost pressure. (1.7 on SL55). A very responsive easy revving “light flywheel” effect is from engine electronics, not lightweight components. The 3 pointed star at the front is functional as well as traditional. It acts as the main air intake for the SLR engine. What is probably the longest engine intake system in production today delivers the air at very high velocities to the supercharger and then to the intercoolers before forcing it into the engine. The sound of the intake system and the supercharger contribute to the SLR McLaren’s fierce performance sound. Speaking of sound, lets look at the SLR exhaust system…

Exhaust System Two complete Systems, one per side 2 mufflers per side 1 catalyst per side 2 oxygen sensors Side exhaust exits Meets EU4 and LEV Emissions standards. SLR’s exhaust systems are compact and all in one unit. With two mufflers, two oxygen sensors and a catalytic converter per side, these modules are completely separate from each other, there are no crossovers or connections. The systems end with 2 fat pipes at the bottom pointing rearward and exiting just in front of the doors. There are 2 reasons for this. First, the underbody of the SLR is completely flat and sealed, the result of years of aerodynamic tuning. (We’ll talk more about SLR aerodynamics in a bit). The exhaust does not interfere with the underbody shape at all. Also the original 300SLR was known for its protruding side pipes on the passenger side. This design is another nod to its illustrious forebears. How does all of this power get to the rear wheels? Through the transmission…

Transmission ( ) 5 Speeds Speedshift R Modified Internal Components Lifetime Oil Fill The NAG-V 5 speed automatic transmission was developed for the Maybach and can handle up to 900 nm (750 lb ft) of torque. In the SLR the housing, central shaft and torque converter w/ slip control lock-up clutch are modified. Gearing is also modified with the following ratios: 1st-3.597, 2nd , 3rd 1.405, 4th 1.00, 5th The two reverse gears are S(R1) and C(R2) There is a transmission cooler in the nose and a differential cooler at the rear axle with a dedicated NACA duct on the underbody.

Transmission Mechanical Connection from gear lever to transmission 3 Shift modes w/center switch Comfort Sport Manual Gear lever is connected mechanically to the transmission. Normal shift pattern for Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive with +/- for Touch Shift. Sport (normal), Comfort and Manual shift modes are controlled by the left side switch on the center stack under the A/C vents. There is a Hill Hold function in Comfort mode.

Transmission 3 Manual Shift programs Sport Supersport Race Center stack control Steering wheel shift buttons as on AMG Speedshift Three Manual shift maps controlled by the right side switch below the A/C vents on the center stack. Shifts are accomplished with the steering wheel shift buttons as on AMG Speedshift. Upshift + on the right side, downshift- on the left side. The 3 settings, Sport, Supersport and Race offer progressively quicker shifting. Engine torque is electronically reduced earlier for faster shifts in the Race mode. Downshifts will happen automatically at limits or coming to a stop. Upshifts DO NOT occur automatically at redline. Like Speed Shift, upshifts will not occur while cornering, so the vehicle is not destabilized in the turn.

SLR McLaren-Performance
Top Speed- 334 km/h- 209 mph 0-100 km/h (62mph)- 3.8 seconds 0-200 km/h (122 mph)-10.6 seconds 0-300 km/h (186 mph)-28.8 seconds * Top speed is the same for US spec SLR Top speed is not limited to 155 mph as on German built MB products, even for the US version. Since the SLR is built in England it does not have to adhere to the agreement that Mercedes-Benz has with the German government to limit the top speed of all German built MB’s to 155mph or below. For a car to go as fast as the SLR McLaren does, it has to be able to stop too. Lets take a look at the hi-performance braking system of the SLR….

Carbon Matrix Ceramic Brakes Debut: 1999-CL55 AMG F1 Formula One technology for The street Sensotronic Brake Control SLR is equipped with a Carbon Matrix Ceramic (CMC) braking system. This technology comes directly from racing, specifically from Formula One. The brake rotor or disc is made up of a carbon ceramic matrix. MB started work on carbon brakes for the street in First installed on the limited edition CL55 AMG F1 in 1999, not sold in the US, as a street version of the Formula One Safety Car. Porsche was the next maker to offer carbon brakes as an option on the 911 Turbo in Mercedes-Benz and Brembo have since formed a joint venture to automate production of carbon ceramic brakes for more widespread use on high-performance street cars. Only MB, Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini offer carbon ceramic brakes for street cars. SLR is also equipped with Sensotronic Brake Control, Mercedes-Benz’ electro-hydraulic braking system.

Carbon Matrix Ceramic Brakes Traditional Cast Iron Brakes: Advantages: Inexpensive Strong Good Heat Conductivity Disadvantages: Heavy Fade-Judder Corrosion prone Short life span Brake dust Cast iron is the traditional material for brake discs and has been since the first disc brake appeared on a Jaguar racer at the 24 Hours of LeMans in It has many advantages including low cost and good strength. But it also has disadvantages, including weight which adds to the unsprung weight of the suspension, meaning that the masses outside of the suspension, not supported by the springs and shocks; the brakes, wheels and tires are heavier than they need to be. The lower the unsprung weight the more responsive a car is. Hence the use of alloy wheels. Other disadvantages of the iron discs are the propensity to judder, and to fade under extreme use. Iron’s good heat transfer characteristics become a liability when heat is transferred to the brake fluid causing it to boil and decreasing brake effectiveness. The cross-drilling or perforating of cast iron discs helps to dissipate some of the heat transfer from the brake calipers and also reduces weight a bit. Iron discs also corrode when they sit around for extended periods of time. You can see the layer of rust on a disc that has been sitting around for only a few days. A cast iron brake disc also has a limited life span. It will wear out according to how its used. Iron also experiences micro-structural changes at 750 degrees C. This can cause brake disc warpage and even failure. In the photo, the SLR disc is on the left, SL55 disc in the center, SLK320 at right.

Carbon Matrix Ceramic Brakes Advantages: Light weight -360mm (14.6”)disc- 6kgs-13lbs (16kgs -31lbs-iron) Corrosion resistant Wear resistant- should last life of the car Low maintenance Low deposit of brake dust Extreme heat resistance Disadvantages: 15X the cost of iron discs- 6 step process Need to warm up Carbon brake discs have many advantages, especially light weight. A 14.6” carbon front brake disc for the SLR weighs 6kgs (13 lbs), a comparable iron disc would weigh 16kgs, (33lbs). Also carbon resists corrosion from the elements, it doesn’t rust. A carbon ceramic disc experiences little wear. The brake discs should last the life of the car, up to around 300,000 kms. Brake pad material is traditional, optimized for heat. Pads will need replacement depending on use. These pads and the carbon discs produce minimal deposits of brake dust. Carbon discs have enormous heat resistance. Carbon brakes do need heat to work. Unlike full carbon brakes on an F1 car, (meaning carbon pads and discs) which need heat to work and are completely ineffective when cold, SLR’s brakes do need to be warmed-up to be fully effective but are quite usable even at low speeds and temps. Carbon discs cost up to 15 times more than an iron disc due to the 6 step process that starts with 1. mixing of carbon fibers, resins and filler, 2.pressing, 3.carbonizing at 1000 deg C with nitrogen, 4.machining, 5.silicone melt impregnation- silicone injected into a vacuum at 1600 deg C, 6.finishing with diamond cutters and drilling for the bell mounting. Very time consuming and expensive to produce.

Carbon Matrix Ceramic Brakes Extreme Heat Resistance Maximum disc test temps- 980 deg C Maximum fluid temps- 180 deg C Temperature resistant to 1800 deg F Can handle 2000 hp. 100 km/h to 0 in 114 feet Over 1200 SLR carbon ceramic brake discs have been tested in burst tests at 5800 wheel rpm equal to 700 km/hr (430mph). Disc temps were consistently around 980 degrees C, but fluid temps never rose above 180 degrees C. Water boils at 100 degrees C. The carbon discs can resist temps up to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. Carbon brakes can decelerate the SLR at over 1.3 g stopping from 100 km/h (62 mph) in 114 feet. Theoretical limit of this braking system is 2000 hp.

Carbon Matrix Ceramic Brakes Front-Brake discs- 14.6” Rear-Brake discs-14.2” Front Caliper-8 pistons 4 pads-68.2 sq in. of pad area Rear Caliper-4 pistons Aluminum Center Bell The actual brake hardware is pretty impressive. The carbon discs are 14.6” in the front, 14.2” in the rear. Front caliper has 8 pistons and holds 4 brake pads with 68.2 sq. in. of pad surface area. Rear calipers are 4 piston. The center bell where the brake disc mounts to the axle is aluminum to add the to the low unsprung weight. Normally there would be a reaction between the carbon disc and the aluminum bell and 2 different heat dissipation rates. In this case the aluminum bell is hardcoated and mounted with bushings to allow for expansion. The bell and the disc do not contact each other. (SL65 and CL65 AMG have a similar setup called Compound Brake using a traditional perforated iron disc). SLR should live up to the old proverb… stops on a dime and gives you 8 cents change! Lets take a look at SLR’s amazing aerodynamic developments.

Aerodynamics High speed stability Cooling Active Safety Great looking shape Aerodynamics play a major role in the performance of the SLR McLaren. From stability at high speeds to cooling and water management the SLR spent over 4 years in the wind tunnels at both McLaren Cars in England and at Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart. The final result is both attractive and aggressive as well as functional. Overall coefficient of drag (Cd) of the SLR is ( A E320 sedan is 0.27) An exceptional figure for car that is very wide, has huge tires, is relatively short and has the cooling and stability needs that the SLR has.

Aerodynamics Flat underbody with rear diffuser Airflow managed and controlled Lets start with the underbody of the SLR. Air is directed under the car, completely controlled and used for creating downforce over the entire car as well as ducting to places like the exhaust system and rear brakes. The diffuser at the rear directs the air as it exits and therefore pulls the air through the underbody and works with the airbrake to generate maximum braking and stability at speed. As you can see the underbody is flat and completely sealed, with air going only where it is supposed to go. There are 5 composite panels that cover the entire underbody and are held in place by over 100 small lightweight screws. Only hand tools are allowed to be used for their removal, no power tools are approved for use on the SLR in any application. Louvered panels direct cool air up over the exhaust system and out the vents in the hood. 3 NACA ducts at the rear axle line feed air to the rear brakes and the rear differential cooler. Guide vanes direct air around the wide rear tires an into the diffuser.

Aerodynamics Rear Diffuser Rear diffuser w/airbrake The diffuser at the rear of the SLR underbody creates a swirling effect of the air exiting the underbody producing negative lift or downforce. Combined with the shape of the SLR body work and the rear spoiler/airbrake the faster the SLR goes the more downforce is produced and the car is pressed down to the road. The airbrake acts as a spoiler and brake lets see how this works…

Aerodynamics Airbrake/Spoiler 1. Static The airbrake is integral with the deck lid and works a couple of different ways. Position 1. is static. Tucked into the deck lid out of the way. Position 2. raises automatically at 95 kph, (59mph) for stability, and retracts when the car comes to a halt. 2. Automatic 10 deg. >59mph

Aerodynamics Airbrake/Spoiler 3. Driver deployed- 30 deg Position 3 is driver deployed via a switch on the center console. This position is recommended for rainy conditions to help plant the rear of the car for traction. The driver cannot cancel this setting when the car is moving for fear of destabilizing the feel that he has gotten used to. The car has to come to a halt for the spoiler to be retracted. Position 4. is the Airbrake setting which happens automatically at speeds over 95 kph and brakes are applied firmly. This position is 65 degrees and adds significantly to the braking performance of the SLR by moving the aerodynamic center of pressure to the rear of the car, pushing down on the rear axle, raising the nose, and moving more braking to the rear to balance with the front brakes. There is historical precedence for this. The 300SLR’s that ran at the Hours of LeMans had an airbrake that deployed from the rear deck lid permitting the drum brake equipped SLR’s to out-brake the disc brake equipped Jaguars. 4. Airbrake- 65 deg

Aerodynamics Not Just a Pretty Face Lots of Cooling Needed: Water Radiator A/C Condenser Engine and Trans Oil Coolers Power Steering Cooler Fuel Cooler Supercharger Intercoolers Front Brakes Aerodynamics also determine how efficiently the SLR uses air for cooling. We’ve seen how the underbody shape contributes to cooling the exhaust as well as the rear brakes and the differential. The front end of the SLR might look aggressive and sexy, but is also very functional. The stylists and the aerodynamicists had to cooperate closely on the shape of the front end. All of the horsepower, and performance capabilities of the SLR generate huge amounts of heat. There are coolers in the front of the car for coolant, air conditioning, engine, transmission, fuel, power steering and supercharger air. These coolers are all arranged in a complex cooling structure that runs from the nose into the engine compartment. The front brakes are specially ducted from below the bumper. As we already saw, the center Star is also the engine air intake. There are separate intakes for the two charge air intercoolers for the supercharger along side of the nose. So as not to interrupt the air flow to the front end where a front number plate is required, it will be offset to the driver’s side and mounted next to the nose. Certainly the SLR is all about performance. But it is a Mercedes-Benz so it has to be safe too. Lets look at the safety side of the SLR

SLR McLaren-Passive Safety
Crash Structures Absorb energy in pre-determined way General energy management Lets start our look at SLR safety with Passive Safety and crash structures. There are 2 “bodies” involved in a crash. One is the car the other is the occupant(s). By managing the crash energy of the first, time is gained to manage the crash energy of the second. This is the basic philosophy of all Mercedes-Benz passive safety designs. SLR uses its carbon fiber structure to manage crash energy starting with the front deformable crash boxes.(FCS’). These are replaceable and attached directly to the aluminum engine mounting structure. This structure also manages crash energy by deforming in a more substantial front end impact. It is directly attached via bolts and bonding to the main SLR tub, which as we have seen is made entirely of carbon fiber composite. The engine mounting structure can be replaced in the field by a certified SLR collision center. If the mounting points on the main tub are compromised the car must be returned to McLaren for analysis and possible repair.

Crash Structures Rear uses composite foam blocks At the rear the SLR uses foam composite blocks to help absorb rear crash energy. Again relying on the properties of the carbon fiber structure.

Crash Structures Side impact beam made of carbon and aluminum A-pillar energy absorbing rib design The doors of the SLR are also carbon fiber. The side impact beams are of a carbon aluminum construction. The aluminum is on the inside of the beam and allows the beam to bend and absorb an impact by actually helping to push the car away from the impact. The doors’ hinges are anchored to the carbon tub via pins and bolts. Side sills can deform in an impact. A- pillars have an energy absorbing rib design.

Interior Carbon sport seat 5 sizes available for driver’s seat The seat in the SLR also has a carbon fiber structure. It is one piece with energy absorbing foam inserts. Sport design keeps occupants’ pelvis in the proper position for crash impact and keeps the driver in place during hard cornering. The drivers seat is available to be ordered from the factory in one of 5 seat sizes- using different foam inserts. Must be ordered cannot be adjusted in the field. Eventually the SLR customer will be able to go to McLaren and have a seat fitting for his/her SLR so the seat will be molded to their body shape as with the McLaren F1 race cars. They will have to keep their body weight and size pretty stable or they’ll need a new seat!

Interior Energy absorbing headrest The headrest is also designed to absorb impact energy with 3 layers of foam and expanded polypropelene. SLR seats adjust for fore and aft and height, but not for recline. The entire seat can be tilted but the backrest is not a separate piece and cannot be adjusted.

SLR has 6 airbags. Driver and passenger dual stage. Driver and passenger knee bags. Door mounted head-thorax air bags. No need for a curtain airbag. 6 Airbags

Interior Seat Belts Belts with rotary tensioning devices (ETD’s) Driver and passenger have seat belts with pyrotechnic rotary tensioning devices with 2 stage deployment as on 211 E-Class. These are mounted on the bulkhead behind the driver and passenger. Other interior safety items include Trim-Soft facia on dash, energy absorbing roofliner and footwells with energy absorbing materials on footrests.

Crash Sensors 2 Front 2 Side Main unit in center tunnel SLR has 2 crash sensors in the front end on the FCS (Front Crash Structure). There are also 2 side sensors on the floor under the driver and passenger. The main crash sensor is in the center tunnel as in most modern Mercedes-Benz cars..

Crash Testing Side impact Front offset Front 0 offset Rear Roof drop Curb strike etc SLR has been crash tested in all of the usual MB required tests some of which are over and above government requirements. … lets look at the comfort and convenience features.

SLR McLaren-Options 2-Zone Automatic A/C Bose 7 Speaker Sound System
6 Disc CD Changer Integral Phone w/ TeleAid Tire Pressure Monitoring SLR’s interior is both luxurious and comfortable, but not luxurious in the way an SL is. There’s no wood or even a sunroof available. There are now 12 colors available for the SLR with 14 interior choices. Silver Arrow leather is an extra cost choice. There’s also contrasting stitching and embossed head restraints available now too. Special floor mats and a two tone leather steering wheel are also newly available options.

SLR McLaren-Options Choice of Wheels 19 inch aero style
18 inch 5 spoke 18 inch 10 spoke * Warning high-performance tires may experience increased tread wear and different ride characteristics and may be susceptible to damage from pot holes or road hazards. Standard are 19” aero design as on the silver car here. High performance tires may experience increased wear …. At no cost, the 18” 5 spoke wheels or 10 spoke wheels are available as a choice. Brake calipers can be ordered painted gold or yellow.

Mercedes-Benz Comfort
SLR McLaren-Comfort Mercedes-Benz Comfort -SLR Feel The SLR interior will look a little familiar to the SL driver, with some carbon fiber touches. The seating position is much lower along with the window line, the SLR cockpit feels snug and low.

SLR McLaren-Comfort Race car like controls Unique starting procedure
SLR has a unique starting procedure. After inserting the SmartKey into the ignition slot and turning to position “2”, flipping up the little cover on the top of the gear lever exposes the Start button. Place foot on brake, push this button and SLR comes to life with a roar from just beneath the driver’s feet. This is not Keyless Go. It still requires the use of the SmartKey, but the ignition lock does not have position “3”, the start position. This is handled by the Start button.

SLR McLaren-Comfort Gull Wing like Doors Open to 107 degrees
SLR’s carbon doors open over the A pillars to 107 degrees. They are hinged on the A-pillars. They are designed to offer enough opening space to allow occupants to escape should the car be involved in a rollover and land on its roof. This has already been proven at the test track! This design recalls the Gull Wing doors of the 300SL and the 300 SLR Coupe. You’re probably wondering what this fabulous car is going to cost….

SLR McLaren-Pricing MSRP-$450,000 $3000 Guzzler Tax
$2500 Transportation Base price is $450,000. Plus Guzzler Tax and transportation. There might soon be an option for air freight- this is a $12,500 cost for a Maybach. Every SLR is sealed in a container for shipping. Containers are not opened until the car reached the VPC. The Silver Arrow Red Leather is the only extra cost option. Every SLR comes with a dust cover and a battery maintainer.

SLR McLaren-Maintenance
Warranty 48/ month 50,000 mile Annual major maintenance required The same 48 month /50,000 mile warranty as all Mercedes-Benz cars sold in the US comes with the SLR. The rest of the world warranty for the SLR is 2 years. An annual major maintenance is required for every SLR, this could include complete removal of the engine from the car. This is a major check over of the entire car as well, much like the annual checkup for an aircraft. Most other exotic cars also require a major service each year. Total estimated cost and time for this service is still being developed. Lets look at the competition for the SLR.

SLR McLaren-Competitors
5.5 Litre 24v V-8 617 hp. 5 Speeds 0-100 km-3.8 Top Sp-207 mph 540 units/yr for 6.5 years $450,000 base price Lets start our look at SLR competitors with on overview of the SLR itself. While the SLR might not compare directly with any of these competing cars, its performance places it close to the uber cars like the Enzo and Carrera GT, while its refinement and comfort place it with the Maranello, Vanquish and 612.

SLR McLaren Competitors
Key Competitors Ferrari 575M Maranello 5.75 Litre 48v V-12 515 hp. 6speeds 0-100 km 4.3 Top Sp.-195 mph 700 units/yr for 3 yrs $224,640 base price Ferrari 612 Scaglietti 6.0 Litre 48v V-12 540 hp. 6 speeds 0-100km-4.2 Top Sp.-200mph 550/yr. Approx.$250,000 base price Now lets look at the key competitors. Those that are most likely to be compared to SLR. The 575M is an update of the 550 announced during The classic front engine 2-seater V-12 Ferrari. Uses all steel tube construction. The 612 Scaglietti is new for 2004 replacing the 456 GT. A 2+2 design in the traditional Ferrari GT mould. The first 12 cylinder Ferrari to use all Aluminum construction for both chassis and body, but it still weighs over 4100 lbs.

Key Competitors Aston Martin Vanquish 6.0 litre 48v V-12 466 hp. 6 speed paddle shift 0-100km-5.6 Top Sp.-194 mph 400/yr for 6 years Base price-$244,610 Lamborghini Murcielago 6.2 Litre 48v V-12 580 hp. 6 speeds 0-100 km-3.6 Top Sp-198 mph 400/yr for 5 yrs Base Price-$273,000 The Aston Vanquish is the first all new Aston Martin since the Ford takeover and moves Aston up market in the Super Sports category. The 6 litre V-12 was developed by Ford subsidiary, Cosworth. Vanquish features an aluminum bonded chassis with a carbon fiber center tunnel. Body is all aluminum. A Vanquish S with 585 hp and revised suspension is coming during 2005. Murcielago is the name of a particularly mean fighting bull. The Lamborghini symbol is of a charging bull. Murcielago replaced the “bad boy” supercar the Diablo, (Devil), and toned down the look a bit while raising the performance to a slightly higher level. Muricielago is AWD and has already benefited from the Audi takeover of Lamborghini by incorporating a number of German technologies. A Roadster debuted during 2005 model year.

Other Competitors Ferrari Enzo 6.0 48v V-12 660 hp. 6 speed paddle shift 0-100 km-3.6 Top Sp-210 mph 200/yr for 2 years Base Price-$670,000 Porsche Carrera GT 5.5 Litre 50v V-10 612 hp. 6 speeds 0-100 km-3.9 Top Sp-200 mph 500/yr for 3 years Base price-$440,000 These cars are very close to the SLR in performance but are more like race cars for the road. Very little in the way of luxury, especially the Enzo. The Enzo uses a Formula 1 derived V-12 with Ferrari’s F1 paddle shift transmission the only choice. Enzo uses a carbon fiber chassis with carbon body panels. The Carrera GT is the result of Porsche’s cancelled LeMans sports racer project from After deciding to concentrate engineering resources on the Cayenne SUV, Porsche had to repair their damaged image and resurrected the LeMans project as the Carrera GT. It has a brand new V-10 engine and uses a traditional 6 speed manual transmission as its only choice. The chassis and body are made of carbon fiber. Both the Enzo and the Carrera GT also feature Carbon Ceramic braking systems. All of the Enzo’s are sold, production has ended. But there is still demand so there is talk of more cars being built. Ferrari has done this before, saying that will limit production to 400 or so units, as on the F50 and F40, and ended up building more.

Other Competitors Saleen S7 7.0 Litre 16v V-8 550 hp. 6 speeds 0-100 km-3.9 Top Sp-200 mph 100/yr for 4 years Base Price-$450,000 Pagani Zonda S 7.0 Litre AMG 48v V-12 550 hp. 6 Speeds 0-100 km-3.9 Top Sp.200 mph 25/yr for 4 years Base Price-$387,000 These cars are built in very small numbers but are available and could be compared with the SLR. The Saleen is built in the USA by Ford tuning specialist Steve Saleen. The S7 started out as a race car and has had a very successful career in GT racing. About 25 racers have been built. The street car uses a V-8 based on Ford components but is entirely assembled by Saleen. S7 uses a steel space frame with carbon body panels. The Pagani Zonda is built in Italy and uses an AMG V-12 based on the engine that the CLK-GTR racers used to win the 1997 FIA GT Championship. Pagani is a customer for AMG and is not affiliated with Mercedes-Benz. The Zonda uses a carbon/steel construction for its chassis and uses carbon fiber for body panels. Only 100 cars will be built. There’s also a Roadster version available.

Other Competitors Koenigsegg CC8S 4.6 Litre 32v V-8 655 hp. 6 speeds 0-100 km-3.2 Top Sp-244 mph 10/yr for 6 years Base Price- $391,000 Bugatti 16.4 Veyron 8.0 Litre 64v W-16 AWD 987hp. 7 speeds 0-100km 3.1 Top Sp.252 mph 80/yr for 3.5 years Base Price-$1.2 million+ These two cars are very unique. The Koenigsegg is built in Sweden and uses carbon/aluminum honeycomb construction for chassis and body. The engine is a Ford SVT derived V-8 that is supercharged for 655hp. Only a handful of CC8S’ have been built and Christian von Koenigsegg’s little shop cannot produce more than 10 cars per year. The Bugatti Veyron is the most ambitious Super Sports car since the McLaren F1. It is still in development by the VW subsidiary with the great name and heritage. This car which is now scheduled for launch in 2005 will be All Wheel Drive and feature a W-16 engine, 2 narrow angle V-8’s joined around a common crankshaft with 4 turbochargers making just under 1000hp. Only 80 per year will be produced. Total production is limited to 300 units. Price is expected to be over $1 million.

What will the SLR McLaren mean to the Mercedes-Benz image?
The same 3 pointed star on the nose as on the SLK350, and every other MB Coupe and Roadster Mercedes-Benz’ long motorsport heritage is brought to life in a street car. The association with McLaren, with its rich history. Mercedes-Benz as a maker of State of the Art luxury sedans, coupes, roadsters, and now super sports GT cars. Halo effect on the entire MB family Mercedes-Benz has for 120 years been known as THE prestige maker of luxury sedans, roadsters, and coupes. Recently MB created the luxury SUV market with the ML. Now Mercedes-Benz will be mentioned in the same breath as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, even Koenigsegg, as a producer of ultra high-performance sports cars. The 3 pointed star that adorns all Mercedes-Benz products also adorns the aggressive pointed nose of the SLR McLaren. It is a Mercedes-Benz, not a Maybach or other DC brand. The partnership with McLaren will also add to the prestige of the SLR as well as any future Mercedes-Benz/McLaren project. McLaren’s accomplishments in the world of motorsport is the stuff of legends. That combined with Mercedes-Benz’ own motorsport history creates an unrivaled pedigree for the SLR McLaren, which can’t help but “halo” the entire Mercedes-Benz family.

What’s Next for McLaren Mercedes?
SLR McLaren What’s Next for McLaren Mercedes? 2008 P8? The joint venture between McLaren and Mercedes will not end with the SLR. There are plans for a line of McLaren built Mercedes-Benz sports cars. This P8 could be on sale by 2008, powered by the next generation 32 valve Mercedes-Benz V-8 with direct injection and developing 500 hp., over 700 hp with twin turbos. This car would be positioned under the SLR priced in the upper $100,000 range and do battle on the autobahns and back roads with cars like the Ferrari’s new F430 Modena, the Lamborghini Gallardo, the next generation Porsche GT2, Aston Martin’s new DB9, and the Ford GT. Stay tuned its going to be a wild ride.
