These vehicles are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. Condition 4 : Fair. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the body has a minor dent. Split seams or a cracked dash, where applicable, might be present.

No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or other non- stock additions might be present.

A 4 vehicle can also be a deteriorated restoration. Condition 5 : Poor. Running, but battered, incomplete, and perhaps rusty. The flawless roads which today lead through the desert next to Dubai are ideal for demonstrating the pedigree sporting performance that characterises the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Edition. At the heart of the SLR Edition is a 5.

Each crankshaft is precision-weighted and revolves in five bearings made from a high-durability material to enable sustained transmission of the tremendous forces emanating from the supercharged engine. The forged pistons are only manufactured in extremely small numbers. Just like the forged lightweight connecting rods, the pistons are measured and weighed with utmost accuracy before being assigned to individual engines. This keeps any mass balancing tolerances to an absolute minimum.

The pistons slide inside extremely durable, wear-resistant, low-friction cylinder barrels made from a special compound which is otherwise only found in race car engines. Twin oil injection is used for effective piston cooling. One important knock-on effect of this dry-sump lubrication technology, which is again normally exclusive to race cars, is that the engine height can be kept low, allowing it to be installed deeper down in the engine compartment: the result is a low centre of gravity that fosters dynamic handling.

Efficient cylinder charging is the task of a belt-driven compressor with two screw-shaped aluminium rotors that are Teflon-coated in the interests of keeping friction low. Consequently, the supercharger is only called into action when it is really needed. Notwithstanding this, however, maximum power is always available the instant the driver summons it by opening the throttle. After all, efficient cooling of the charge air is a vital ingredient for high performance. The intercoolers operate based on the extremely efficient air-to-water heat exchanger principle: the air which has been compressed by the compressor, causing it to heat up, is directed through a separate water circuit to cool it down again.

This enables the eight-cylinder powerplant to maximise its output and torque delivery. Manual transmission mode for shift times worthy of a race car. High performance has also been ingrained into the five-speed automatic transmission, which was developed in-house at Mercedes-Benz and has already featured in a number of exceptionally powerful models. It has been optimised to enable it to handle the awesome torque on tap and also offers drivers the possibility of varying the gearshift characteristics.

The interplay of the engine with the gearshift was also subject to modification. All told, these changes, along with less carpeting and sound deadening, shave a claimed 97 pounds from the SLR's not insubstantial mass. Mercedes also claims these changes increase top speed from to mph and cut the 0-tomph sprint from 3. We don't doubt the claims, and the lusty-sounding V-8, which is still coupled to a five-speed manumatic gearbox, produces massive thrust whenever you want it.

Exploiting the 's immense performance on winding public roads is, unfortunately, less than satisfying. The stiffer suspension never settles down enough to encourage approaching the car's limits in an otherwise smooth corner.

Similarly, the SLR's steering has a blend of direct action and high effort that makes it difficult to carve a smooth line or make subtle midcorner adjustments to the car's path.
