Speed Light Racer

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLarenOh yes, this is what we like.

First time I've seen this particular coupé. I thought maybe it was the silver 722 that is around town, but alas! it was not.

This is also the first time I've seen one with the doors open, as the driver was getting in and out of the car. The butterfly doors give it an exotic flair. I like the wheels, too.


I can't imagine why he would drive to this location in this car, as the roads all around this area are horrendous, full of cavernous potholes. He must have been just crawling.

Audi R8Built on the same platform as the Lamborghini Gallardo (same chassis, same transmission), just with a smaller engine. And about half the price!
