Let’s slap a ricer-boy spoiler on this bad boy! Yea, not what you would normally think to do to a new Benz SLR McLaren but someone had to do it right?

Hamann is an enthusiasts dream if you so happen to own an exotic car and you want to TUNE it. No doubt that I love a nicely tuned car presented in a “clean” fashion but this one I have to be honest. I have seen better, let’s just leave it as that. Below is a teaser video of this newly tuned by Hamann Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren.

Look at that wing, and enjoy the video below!

The Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren posts a new lap record.

Mercedes-Benz’s upcoming SLR McLaren Roadster

I had to add a video to this post and re-visit it… Enjoy!

Benz to release the 200 mph drop-top roadster and bring it to our shores as a 2008 model. McLaren’s Formula 1 factory in

Woking, England, they only plan to have a handful of these topless models available for the lusting men with the big enough bank account and waiting nerves.

We will get to the bottom line figures here and not leave you guessing.

The new SLR convertible shares most of it’s construction with the hardtop version… carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, carbon-fiber body panels, and the famous butterfly doors. A semiautomatic fabric top which opens in fewer than 10 seconds was chosen vs. a heavier retractable hardtop, will be fitted for cost saving reasons… ha ha yea right!

This new Benz SLR McLaren Roadster is to have the 617-hp, 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 with 575 pound-feet of torque pushing it from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 207 mph all complete with an AMG Speedshift R five-speed automatic transmission. Whoa, you ever seen a drop-top convertible do that kind of speed. We didn’t think so.
