SLR, the black arrow

The Mercedes Mclaren SLR is a jointly developed car by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive. Although it's part Mercedes, this car is built in England and it says so too on the tag on the car, "Made in England". At that time, Mercedes-Benz owned 40 percent of the McLaren Group and they set out to produce a memorable supercar. What did they come up with? The SLR, short for Sport, Light, Racing.
