MERCEDES-BENZ MCLAREN SLR ROADSTER - The roofless SLR is a heavyweight, in every sense

摘要

According to my German-English dictionary, Licht - the 'L' in 'SLR' - means light. And it doesn't mean 'light' in the 'let there be' sense; it means 'light' in the 'opposite of heavy' sense. It's evident that Mercedes started the SLR with the right 'light' intentions. They tapped into McLaren for a full carbon-fibre chassis - hell, damned-near a full carbon-fibre chassis - hell, damned-near a full carbon-fibre body (the exceptionis the aluminum engine frame) - and it's super-light.
