love the metallic orange...like the lambo orange...1.6 million is steep but it will hold its value...i quess if money was an issue, for 1.6 mill, i would buy a cgt, used for 375k, an f50 for 600k, and f40 for 300k, then with the 325k left over, i would buy an 03 murcielago and a 997 turbo cab for my daily driver....5 great cars, three of them collectables and one an everyday car....2800hp total....

Had the opportunity last year to attend a symposium where Gordon Murray gave a talk about his career, and the design of the F1.
An amazing vehicle.
Did you know that he single handedly designed the Mercedes Mclaren as well.

and then Daimler (the Chrysler is silent), f*cked it up. The relationship is now so bad that Daimler will probably completely take over McLaren - bye bye to another great New Zealand company!

The SLR has attracted a great many people who cannot keep their cars on the track. A recent AMG track day resulted in 40 per cent of the participating vehicles being taken away on flatbeds.

Good luck finding tires, bugatti.
Cute idea, though.

Awesome car, piece of still current automotive supercar history,
love the color.

The SLR is just too porky for my tastes.

I don't know about what tires they'll run but I don't think that 250 hp will be enough to gain 25 mph top speed from an already impressive 250..
