Mercedes-Benz SLR Coupe - C199 (2004 to 2008)

The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren was a series of high performance grand tourers introduced for the 2004 model year. The first variant of the SLR to be introduced was the coupe (chassis code C199), which featured distinct butterfly doors that were mounted to the A-pillar and evoked the famous gullwing doors of the Mercedes-Benz 300SL. The SLR was powered by a supercharged 5.4L V8 engine that generated 617hp and 575 lb ft of torque which was sent to the rear wheels through a 5 speed automatic transmission. Although the SLR Coupe was built until 2009, the SLR continued production in variants such as the SLR Roadster, SLR 722 Edition Roadster, the SLR 772 S Edition, and the SLR Stirling Moss. Additionally, the SLR McLaren Coupe had a limited variant known as the SLR McLaren Edition, with only 25 units produced, as well as the option for owners to update and personalize their cars through McLaren Special Operations (MSO).
