Man i had this big argument with one guy and told him that Mercedes SLR mclaren was better but he argued that i am wrong. So what do u think is better ?
The Mclaren-Mercedes SLR is a great car for sure, but it's no match for the uncompromised Mclaren F1
The F1 was probably the most focused car ever produced with careful attention to every single detail. The same can't be said of the SLR, just ask Gordon Murray.
Mclaren F1 was a pure British car but as far as SLR Mclaren is concerned, its a type of venture between Mercedes n Mclaren (German+British)...n Mclaren F1 has been declared the all time greatest super car in the world..no doubt SLR is a great car but i think no match to Mclaren F1...a Mclaren F1 costs round about a million pounds now..so buying this car, out of question.
no....McLaren F1 is better
@nak: The engine in the F1 was developed by BMW Motorsport.
Basically both cars are the same under the hood...! But if you consider a real sports car dynamics...! My vote goes to McLaren F1...! Cuz engineered by mighty BMW team...!
both cars are not same under the hood....and f1 is not totally british car, f1 uses rebored bmw engine...
and slr is GT whereas f1 is the ultimate super car, both different classes....
still my vote goes for MCLAREN F1
i am not an expert but i think we are comparing two different cars since there is a big price difference inbetween both of them.if you compare the features on both cars and keeping the price in mind then you decide if you really waana pay all that extra money to get F1 over SLR.but thats what i think:)
Both cars are different under the hood mclaren helped mercedes power its engine by supercharger and crank shaft
@ Ghuncha & mralisyed:
Guys, what I wanted to say using ''under the hood'', was that, both are developed & tagged by Mercedes Benz.
Powertrain of McLaren F1 is from BMW & powertrain of SLR is from Mercedes Benz...!
Wrong Comparision my dear frnd.
Compare a SLR with a carrera GT and compare a F1 with a F40. that wud be right its to odd to compare these boths as both of them are one of their kinds.
Still in supercar race F1 is moreover a car than a slr.
Mclaren F1 is best dud
@ateektas far as i know mb was not involved in mclaren F1
It comes down to the energy, the vibe that these cars give, not to which car is better in looks or performance, but to the car which makes your heart stop...
@zorix: The SLR can't be compared to the CGT either. The CGT has an engine that was designed for LeMans and it has inboard suspension just like a racecar. The new Ferrari 599 can be considered competition for the SLR. Although, the 599/575/550 are in a league of their own because they are GT cars with sports car handling.
@ Ghuncha:
Yes bro it is...! Beside that SLR's complete name is McLaren SLR...! Get in the S-engines & check it out...! Future F1 will be AMG tuned...! Anyway, check the link below...!
