The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is a grand
tourer car jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz
and McLaren Automotive , built in Portsmouth
and the McLaren Technology Centre in
Woking , Surrey , England and sold from 2003
to 2010. When it was developed, German
manufacturer Mercedes-Benz owned 40
percent of the McLaren Group.
Due to the automatic gear box, front mid-
engined arrangement, and its driving
characteristics, some commentators classify
the SLR McLaren as a GT , whose rivals would
be vehicles such as the Aston Martin DBS
V12 and Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano .
SLR stands for "Sport Leicht
Rennsport" (Sport Light Racing). Mercedes-
Benz stated that they would build 3,500 SLRs
over seven years, with an annual production
of 500 cars.
