Waarom niet?

Deze wagen is ondertussen al goed 4 jaar op de markt. Van exclusiviteit is hier geen sprake aangezien het hier niet om een gelimiteerde versie gaat.

Het vermogen was toen van een zeer hoog niveau, maar is ondertussen bijgebeend door andere merken die 1/zoveelste kosten van deze exorbirante prijs.

Qua gebruikte materialen in het interieur is van hoogwaardigheid ook al geen sprake.

Neen, deze wagen is op geen enkel vlak uitzonderlijk.

Let op, ik vind het een dijk van een wagen... maar ik vind de prijs zwaar overdreven...

Manman, het is te hopen dat jij van je job meer afkent dan van auto's

Carbon fibre is a composite material made from embedding fibres of carbon in epoxy resin. The process, in its simplest form involves laminating layers of fibres (usually as matting) with epoxy before curing.
Carbon fibre has many particular advantages in weight and performance but is held back by expensive fabrication, repair and recycling processes. The beauty of carbon fibre is that it can be fabricated in such a way that directional performance (in terms of response to force applied) can be manipulated to give the best possible results in virtually every circumstance. Whilst a material such as steel will have desirable performance when subjected to forces in certain ways or from certain directions, weaknesses will remain. The ability to arrange fibres to suit the particular forces affecting a component mean more areas of weakness can be eliminated.

Carbon fibre is expensive to use for several key reasons:

• The raw materials are complicated and thus costly to produce.
• There is a relatively high level of wastage.
• Automated manufacture is difficult as most of the performance benefits come from the way components are built by hand to best suit force-distribution across a component.
• Fabrication and curing mean product cycle times and demand on resources are high.

Despite the significant production costs, carbon fibre is an extremely appealing material for high-performance applications where cost restrictions are not so tight. It is commonly stated that carbon fibre can offer the same tensile strength as steel for just 25% of the weight. This is subject to careful design and fabrication to ensure the best possible performance across a component.

In order to reduce costs, increase rates of production and produce more consistent results, some new processes are being introduced. In the Mercedes-Mclaren SLR this envolves producing blanks, moulds and utilising processes from the textile industry to weave fibres to create accurate, ready made elements.


"The longitudinal members of the front body structure consist of a central cross member and the encircling moulded part or internal web. The cross member comprises several layers of carbon fibre stitched together by a machine. After the form has been cut to shape, the web blank is inserted into a braided polystyrene core. This core element is clamped into a specially developed braiding machine that produces the longitudinal member from 25,000 ultra-fine carbon filaments that are unwound simultaneously from 48 reels. This process allows the fibres to be braided around the core at a precisely defined angle to create the desired contour. Several layers are overlapped in certain areas, depending on the thickness required." - Mercedes McLarenImages courtesy & © DaimlerChrysler
Performance in Impact
Relatively little is known about carbon fibre in crash situations. Material failure is difficult to model due to the complex nature of its composition and the variance in its construction when produced by hand. Failure is non-elastic and very different to standard automotive metals. Reinforcements are used to modify the characteristics of components to improve strength or elastic deformation characteristics. The Mercedes Mclaren SLR uses a roof made of a carbon fibre foam sandwich to improve crash-worthiness.

In the 1950s, the Mercedes-Benz SLR acquired a hallowed status in the world of motor racing. Quite apart from its long list of legendary race victories, its avant-garde technology and thrilling design instantly transformed it into a blueprint for all high-calibre Gran Turismo touring cars. The new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster, which will be receiving its world premiere in autumn 2007, is likewise rife with charisma and technology that is ahead of its time. Just like today's Formula 1 racing cars, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster boasts a carbon-fibre construction that gives it very high levels of safety and exceptional torsional stiffness on a par with the Coupé version. This combines with a chassis with motorsport origins to produce outstanding handling characteristics. The 460-kW/626-hp AMG supercharged V8 engine under the bonnet of the new high-performance sports car propels it to a top speed of 332 km/h, matching the outstanding mark set by the Coupé. Despite the fact that the Roadster comes with a fully retractable soft top to fuse pure open-air driving bliss with the ultimate in performance, by no means do its occupants have to compromise on comfort or everyday practicality. The new Roadster thereby succeeds in taking driving culture and motoring pleasure into a whole new dimension for open-top super sports cars.

The SLR McLaren Roadster is bound to carve out a very special name for itself amongst the ranks of high-performance open-top sports cars. This is thanks to its motor-racing genes and the use throughout of high-tech materials that - despite all their inherent benefits - are generally only ever found in a few individual components of even premium series-production cars, if at all, due to the high costs and elaborate manufacturing processes involved.

This is particularly true of the high-strength yet lightweight carbon-fibre composite materials (CFRP) that are used. Mercedes-Benz and its Formula 1 partner, McLaren, have gathered many years of experience with this material that is conventionally used in the aviation and space industries. In an impact, carbon fibres have a level of energy absorption that is four to five times higher than that of steel or aluminium, while the weight advantage of this high-tech material over steel is around 50 per cent.

The new high-performance Roadster capitalises on all of these benefits. The complex carbon-fibre technology has furthermore undergone intelligent redevelopment for the Roadster's monocoque. The result is low weight as well as exemplary energy absorption courtesy of unique carbon-fibre crash structures, which translates into excellent occupant safety, plus a level of torsional stiffness that is unprecedented for an open-top car. This gives rise to the sort of scintillating performance that is normally the preserve of super sports cars with a fixed roof.

Puristic soft top designed for high speeds

The SLR McLaren Roadster's exceptional credentials are given a further boost by the fully retractable soft top that blends seamlessly into the vehicle's flowing lines. The newly developed material it is made from not only promises everyday practicality in all weathers, it also enables the high-performance sports car to attain speeds which are highly unusual for a roadster. For example, the top speed of 332 km/h with the roof up matches the extraordinary figure set by the Coupé. When driving with the top down, the vehicle's favourable aeroacoustics still allow the occupants to converse with one another at speeds far in excess of 200 km/h.

The roof opens and closes semi-automatically in around ten seconds, thereby harmonising the desire for supreme convenience with the Roadster's purist character. To open the roof, the driver simply has to release the catches in the roof frame and lift it up slightly before the electrohydraulic mechanism folds it together. The aluminium bow integrated into the front section of the roof forms a stylish cover for the soft top when it is folded down. A high standard of safety comes in the form of steel-reinforced A-pillars and two fixed rollover bars.

Streamlined aerodynamics and racing suspension

The Roadster's handling, aeroacoustics and aerodynamics were carefully honed for high-speed driving in the wind tunnel. It borrows the same aerodynamic concept already familiar from the Coupé, comprising an airbrake incorporated into the boot lid, an encapsulated underbody, as well as a diffusor in the rear bumper for generating maximum downforce.

In order to obtain optimum weight distribution for flawless handling dynamics and high braking stability, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster is designed as a front-mid-engined sports car with the drive unit placed behind the front axle. Its AMG supercharged V8 engine, featuring air-to-water intercooler, three-valve technology, dry-sump lubrication and four metal catalytic converters, is installed in a low-set position for a correspondingly low, and therefore favourable, centre of gravity. Coupled to an AMG Speedshift R five-speed automatic transmission, the power unit's 460 kW/626 hp and peak torque of 780 Nm launch the Roadster from 0 to 100 km/h in a fleeting 3.8 seconds.

The open-top two-seater is equipped with a suspension that was bred on the race track, an electrohydraulic brake system, as well as high-endurance carbon-fibre/ceramic brake discs which offer optimum braking performance, thermal resistance and durability.

Control, Style and Function

The fiber-reinforced ceramic brake discs.
The SLR has independent control arms of unequal length, with coil springs on all four wheels and an anti-roll bar in the front. A rack-and-pinion steering system controls the specially designed Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires (Front: 245/35ZR-19 96Y; Rear: 295/30ZR-19 100Y), which are mounted to 19-inch cast aluminum asymmetric turbine wheels. Special ceramic disc brakes, manufactured for heat resistance and strength, provide up to 1.3 Gs of stopping power. All of these features help to give the SLR a 40-foot turning radius and 161-foot braking distance from 70 mph. The rear spoiler acts as an automatic air brake, raising up to a 65 degree angle to provide additional downforce and stability. It drops back down for flat-out high-speed runs.

The SLR looks different from most supercars. Most have the engine mounted behind the driver, and aerodynamic considerations force the car's shape into a low, sleek profile. Mercedes and McLaren engineers decided to go with a front-mounted engine, which helps give the car its distinctive shape. The engine is mounted as far back in the compartment as possible, sitting behind the front axle. The gives the SLR nearly 50/50 front to rear weight distribution, a major factor in the car's overall handling. It also means that the engine compartment looks a bit strange. The engine itself peeks out from beneath the windshield, only about half of it extending out into the engine compartment itself. A giant air intake nozzle fills up most of the area beneath the hood. The resulting shape is a car with a long snout, a compact driver compartment, and a rounded-off rear.

Just like a Formula One racing car, the bodywork of the new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is made of carbon fiber.

The frame is also highly advanced, with a monocoque carbon-fiber tub making up the main chassis and sub-frames in the front and rear. The rear sub-frame is made from aluminum. Tubes and pockets made of carbon fiber within the frame are based on safety designs from McLaren's F1 efforts, and absorb four times as much energy as steel in an impact.
Styling on the SLR is further defined by large air vents in the body just behind the front tires, and sidepipe exhaust headers below. It retains the familiar Mercedes look, with a large badge and twin-lamp elliptical bi-xenon headlights. The body panels are made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic.

Inside the SLR

Many supercars skimp on creature comforts, and some of them don't even have interior carpeting. But Mercedes wanted the SLR to be something of a hybrid -- a powerful, fast car that's also comfortable for driving around town. So power seats, power windows, and power locks are included. Air-conditioning and a top-shelf seven-speaker Bose sound system add to the luxury, and there's also a navigation system.

The carbon fiber bucket seats are covered in "Silver Arrow" red leather. Six air bags protect driver and passenger alike from impacts in eight directions. Switches controlling the air brake and transmission are mounted on a console in the middle of the dashboard, while shifting thumb switches are located on the steering wheel. The car is started with a flip-top covered button on the shift lever.

The SLR sports a multifunction steering wheel with F1-style manual gearshift buttons.
Jay Leno (car collector and proud owner of an SLR) summed up the combination of performance and comfort features in a recent 4Car column: "One minute you can be tearing through the hills, hooligan stuff. The next minute you can take the wife in it, you can park it. I think the Mercedes-McLaren is the perfect compromise between road car and racer" [ref].
On the other hand, car purists might feel that the SLR's comfort diminishes speed and handling. After all, why build a 600-horsepower car and then weigh it down with power seats? Or, as Leno put it, "I have yet to play a CD in it; the SLR's entertaining enough without distractions" [ref].
Mercedes has set a retail price of $452,750 for the SLR, not including taxes. But even if you have the money, rarity could be an obstacle -- only 3,500 SLRs will be produced over the next seven years.

Je kan veel zeggen over een SLR, (ik vind het ook een kutkar) maar beweren dat een SLR niets uitzonderlijk is is gewoon belachelijk.

Van onderhuidse techniek ken ik inderdaad niet veel, om niet te zeggen bijna niets...

Een vraag waarmee ik dan zit is of deze SLR qua onderhuidse techniek dan echt zoveel specialer is dan bijvoorbeeld een Ferrari 599 GTB...?

599 = Aluminium
