Mercedez Benz SLR voted best roadster in Europe

March 7th, 2008.
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster has won the prize for the best roadster in the "Auto 1 von Europa" awards.


The "Europe’s No.1 Car" awards are organised by AUTO BILD and readers and an international jury of experts chose the SLR as their favourite with the award presented at the Geneva Motorshow yesterday. When the 40 million readers of the magazine have voted for their cars, the top three vehicles travel to Rome to undergo two days of testing. Experienced engineers, motoring journalists and racing drivers decided the overall winners on the basis of the tests in Rome.

The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster was the perfect choice in its category considering its likeness to today’s Formula One cars.Built from carbon fibre to make it safe, the SKR also has a motorsport chassis to provide it with outstanding handling ability. It can reach top speeds of 206mph from its 626hp AMG V8 engine offering drivers the ultimate in high performance and open top driving.
