People really dont. This car was meant to be a GRAND TOURER that asked questions of the 575 Maranello...... these days its sits in the halls of automotive greatness in the same class and Enzo and Carrera GT. Its the definition of a over achiever.

@@CITRUS-- unfortunately the collective hive and be one track minded. I think because it’s in the company of The Enzo and Carrera GT it’s expected to live up to their expectations. In reality it’s what you said. And that doesn’t mean it can’t hold its own or shouldn’t be in the company it keeps. It just means you’re going to want to drive it home afterwards and it has some forgiveness if you make a mistake which the latter does not.

@@CITRUS-- it's funny because now I'm appreciating how ridiculous and well engineered the SLR is (versus hivemind oh it's a slow heavy thing) and also seeing the beauty in how in the %%%% Porsche managed to make the Carrera GT somewhat usable in normal comfort driving... The Enzo needs no words.. Amazing times for true supercar design.

Same I liked using it for the long races in that game. The Chrysler ME412 was really the only car that the AI could use to give a challenge, since it's got much higher top speed. But to drive very fast cross country in a relaxed fashion, the SLR does it very well. Refined muscle car like other V8 Mercs as usual.

They were handbuilt at the McLaren factory in the UK at the time, I didn't realize this until reading the Tamiya instructions for a 1/24 model of one I just started building. Tons of F1 tech and design philosophy behind the "comfortable" grand tourer, it's an incredible machine.
