From Dhabi Switzerland with love, where else? Still, wrong. Just wrong.
Disclaimer: Autoblog Damon is a good friend of mine. That said, el grande bastardo! Why? He got to drive a fleet — literally, a fleet – of supercars around an abandoned air strip in Florida, in an attempt to crack the double ton (200 mph). The cars? An Audi R8 (odd, since it can only [...]
The boys at Hamann have a way of turning perfectly good cars into insanely lethal road warriors. Their most recent endeavor involves the Mercedes-McLaren SLR, and they’ve christened it the Volcano. The name likely comes from the car’s explosive eruption of power, as Hamann typically manages to coax extra ponies out of an already potent [...]
If you’ve ever wondered where all your money goes once you fill up your tank, stop wondering. You’re looking at it in the form of a solid chrome Mercedes-McLaren SLR found parked outside of the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai.

The Silver Arrow has announced that it intends to up its ownership of McLaren from the current 40 percent stake in the race team. Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren team chief executive, said that Benz’s announcement was more of a reassurance of commitment to the team than anything else. Still, a larger stake in the team equates [...]
There’s a ton of SLR Speedster spy shots floating around the car webs. And, here’s some more!
