The best McLaren-Mercedes
It was first presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003. In the SLR McLaren combined style and elements SLR 50s with modern technology and new developments. "SLR sports car with no rear-arrangement, - the representative of DaimlerChrysler. - This car class Gran
Turismo XXI century - a powerful, fast, and beautiful, in which you can comfortably travel to
any distance. " Of course, the owner of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren cost of 375 thousand euros, striking design and technical specifications, can be far not. This luxury car will be released only in the number of 3500 copies. In 2003 the car was first introduced in Moscow in 2004, in Russia there are two exclusive car, and in 2005 another ten that have already been pre oplacheny.I is not surprising, given the characteristics of the car.
The new supercharged V8 engine has an output of 460 hp kVt/626 and accelerates the sports car from zero to 100 km / h in just 3.8 seconds. Top speed is about 334 km / h Just like a race car Formula 1 McLaren-Mercedes, the new SLR body is made of carbon fiber (CFK), which provides a high degree of energy absorption at low weight and, consequently, the maximum occupant protection. SLR - the first production car in the world, in which the forward deformation zone is made entirely of carbon fiber. Adaptive airbags, knee and side airbags in the new design, belt tensioners, and ceramic brake discs, capable of working in high stress mode, complete the on-board safety systems Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
When looking at the unusual design of a powerful sports car, it is clear that its creators have inspired the spectacular forms of "coupe Ulenhauta" [pictured below right] (see below), and the modern "Silver Arrows" of Formula 1. Elongated hood, a slender waist, shifted far back cabin and short rear and open up the door-wings seem to make a visible thrill of high speeds. Interior Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is presented as an original combination of laconic atmosphere and exclusive sports car luxury. The interior is dominated by Gran Turismo exquisite materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum, and designed specifically for SLR exclusive leather of the highest quality.
Design Concept throws a bridge between past and present, giving the car a unique charisma - in every way exceptional synthesis of legend and innovation Mercedes. Heirloom direct kinship new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren race cars with shiny new time becomes obvious when looking at the front of: the dominant element is the hood of his central sagittal part, reminiscent of the "Silver Arrow" Formula 1. On the "edge" of the boom is placed three-beam star Mercedes, clearly indicating the origin supercompartment.
In addition, the shape of the car there are other characteristic elements of style cars McLaren-Mercedes, won in 1998 and 1999. world championships in Formula 1: climbing up the door-wings with impressive curved uprights. Just as the "Silver Arrows" profile of the bearing surfaces is important not only for the style of the car, but also for its aerodynamics. They provide high clamping force on the front axle, which is important for certain of the car on the track and it is virtually racing characteristics.
Theme wings SLR designers develop in other elements of the body, showing a peculiar sequence of forms: winged shape of the headlights and separate zones nose, guessed the holders exterior mirrors and rear lights adorn the form of deployed wing in which the LEDs turn indicators built twin rows spaced each other. "Eyed" headlights as a characteristic feature of the brand. Familiar design of the four "big-eyed" headlamps that have become firm distinction cars Mercedes-Benz in 1995, appears in a new interpretation. Dipped beam and main beam in SLR combined into one, retaining, however, its well-defined oval. In addition, for high-power projection lamps designers have developed a special enclosure, appearance reminiscent of expensive camera lenses. Neriflenye transparent lens headlamps emphasize the spectacular appearance supercompartment.
Attract attention and large taillights. Original triangular shape transparent protective glasses, typical for cars Mercedes, looker. In addition, the lights do go away at the body side, emphasizing its width.
Above the large air intake cooling system extends a wide, low hood, the rear edge of which comes under the base of A-pillars, so the windshield could shift far down. It is also one of the most common elements of racing cars, because the speed traffic is particularly important visibility.
From sports coupe version of the legendary road race car SLR, which in 1955 built the head of design and experimental department Mercedes Ulenhaut Rudolph, the new Gran Turismo inherited another original feature: the door-wings. But with a modern twist, they are not attached to the roof and A-pillar and climb forward, opening a large opening angle. This is no less impressive than lifting "gull wing" of the fifties, in addition, this principle has allowed to increase the doorway, so that driver and passenger can sit comfortably in the car and out of it.
The concept of aerodynamics (the technology of Formula 1)
To control at high speeds, stability and air cooling required for these powerful sports cars, the car's aerodynamics were carefully calibrated. The development was carried out aerodynamic concept Mercedes-Benz together with McLaren. After extensive testing in the wind tunnel end Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren was almost smooth. In addition, under the rear of the body was equipped with a special six-channel diffuser. And then, and another refers to the principles of the design of Formula 1 cars. Their main purpose is that the air flow under the car took almost seamlessly, and at high speed provides additional downforce, which experts have called the "Downforce".
Aerodynamic concept of the bottom of a powerful sports car also includes the original exhaust pipes on the sides: when installing conventional exhaust system would be difficult to make the bottom flat and smooth.
In the back of SLR additional downforce forms retractable spoiler. From a speed of 95 km / h, it automatically takes the position with a slope of 10 degrees, and thus increases the downforce on the rear axle. In addition, the spoiler acts as an additional air brake: when braking he leans at an angle of 65 degrees and provides not only increased aerodynamic drag but also shifting the aerodynamic center of gravity back. This means that when braking at high speeds SLR demonstrates excellent stability.
Engine
To ensure a perfect dynamics and high performance braking system a new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren sports car is designed as a mid-engine. The powerful engine V8, mounted on a sturdy aluminum frame, mounted low, allowing to minimize the center of gravity. As a result of improved dynamic performance, agility and handling.
Of the 5.5 liter engine capacity of extracts with compressor supercharging kVt/626 460 hp and maximum torque of 780 Nm is set at 3250 rev. / Min. and remains constant over a wide speed range up to 5000 rev / min. SLR eight-cylinder engine is now one of the most powerful engines to be installed on production road sports cars. To spurt from zero to 100 km / h powerful sports requires just 3.8 seconds, a mark of 200 km / h and it is within 10.6 seconds after launch, and acceleration from zero to 300 km / h takes 28.8 seconds. Top speed is 334 km / h
Among other features should include water-cooled charge air, dry sump lubrication and four metal catalyst through which the powerful engine already meets the strict requirements of the EU-4 of the European Union to come into force in 2005.
Fitted as standard five-speed automatic transmission is also designed for maximum output power. It offers three control programs with different characteristics shift. In the "Manuell" (manual) five-range gear ratio selected via shift paddles or the selector lever. Moreover, in this program the driver can select one of three modes - "Sport", "Supersport" and "Race" - and significantly reduce the time shift, if he prefers sporty.
Interior Design
High-speed nature of the new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is reflected in every detail of the interior design. At the same time the whole atmosphere interior instills a sense of security and calm, which is important, as it allows to concentrate on the high-speed driving.
All of these feelings is distinct, but the emotional language of forms. Here again, the theme and consistently implemented wings. Details specific to SLR-like shape of the wings adorn the vents, air bags and instruments. With these easy and elegant contours designers consciously focus on the main in the cockpit, which is fully consistent philosophy of racing, where the main thing: the brightness and unforgettable experience of driving a sports car.
The interior looks attractive in the first place the center console, made of high quality aluminum. Visually, it seems a continuation of the spectacular nose, reminiscent of the Formula 1 race car, and thus binds the exterior and the interior: it seems that emphasized dynamic figure of the front of the flock into the passenger compartment and go through it along the tunnel to the rear. To formally break this impeccable line, radio and navigation system, located in the center console are covered panel that opens when necessary light touch, elegantly rising up. Joy of power and speed, and enhances the visual design of the upper part of the front panel. Just look at the driver two "pipe" with the device: it seems that they start under the hood, and visually connect with the heart of the instrument panel Gran Turismo - its engine. Convenient and easy to read instruments are optimally rounded field of vision.
Their design is reminiscent of the refined graph valuable timepieces. Font for the large round dials has been designed specifically for the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. For this laconic exterior is the most advanced display technology and visual displays. Despite the distinctive design a race car, the interior looks quite comfortable SLR. A role in this game is full of dynamics contrasting combinations of exquisite materials. Aluminum and carbon contrast with soft leather «Silver Arrow», recognized for its unique quality and durability that has been specifically designed for this high-speed sports car. You can choose from 20 different shades of color, including a spectacular red, stunning in its time in the imagination of legendary and unforgettable sports cars SL and SLR: here comes to life and materialize unique automotive history.
Two-tone interior design, on the one hand, practically, and on the other, creates an atmosphere of elegance. Many surfaces are decorated with two materials that can elegantly highlight the properties of each of them. For example, the center console aluminum frames valuable skin color "hematite".
Safety
Gran Turismo 21st century, almost entirely made of carbon plastics (CFK). This lightweight and at the same time MPE material originally used in aviation and space, and today is successfully used in modern racing cars of Formula 1. The advantage of this material in the mass class "high tech" with respect to the steel is about 50 percent. In addition, the energy absorption capacity of carbon fiber is four to five times higher than that of steel and aluminum. These properties Mercedes-Benz uses the structure of a new front of SLR, which has two carbon fiber spar, 620 mm long, each taking all the oxygen out frontal impact. With this power the cell interior, also made of carbon fiber, with a side or rear impact remains almost intact, protecting passengers present in it. In the manufacture of brake discs Mercedes-Benz has also used new materials and technology. Wheels are made of carbon fiber and ceramics are not only high strength and durability, but also demonstrate in conjunction with hydraulic braking system Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC ™) great performance slowdown, impressively underlining the sporty Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
