Mercedes Shows Off SL65 AMG Black Series
March 27th, 2008
Mercedes has decided to make up for the failure of the SLR McLaren. When they first released the McLaren they had hoped that it would be something that consumers would want to get their hands on right away. While the design of the car is very tempting and unique in its own right it is the power that has everyone so disappointed. The lack of power and the high price tag made it very unappealing.

McLaren F1
May 19th, 2006
The McLaren F1 supercar is one of the fastest, most powerful and most expensive road cars ever. It was developed by McLaren Cars Ltd, a subsidiary of one of the world’s leading Formula One Teams. Much of the experience gained with the team’s F1 effort, combined with Gordon Murray’s motivation to make the best road car regardless of profits, helped the McLaren F1 become the car it is.
The car features a 6.1-litre 60° V12 BMW V12 engine and it was conceived as an exercise in creating what its designers hoped would be considered the ultimate road car.

May 6th, 2006
World champion Fernando Alonso will join McLaren from Renault in 2007.
The Spaniard is contracted to Renault for next season but his move will oust either Kimi Raikkonen or Juan Pablo Montoya at McLaren.
The moves comes just days after McLaren signed a lucrative sponsorship deal with Vodafone.
“It’s great that our strong belief in the strength and competitiveness of the package has been endorsed by the world champion,” said team boss Ron Dennis.
“We always make it clear that we want to be the best and the only way of achieving this objective is by attracting the best people, the best drivers and the best sponsors.”
