Can't see anyone, with the money for the base car, doing this to it.

Me neither.

If they stopped at the mechanical modifications and wheels, it would be interesting, but this "NFS:Import Nights" bodykit ruins it.

Certainly is an erupting, firebreathing volcano of ugliness..

I mean, NOTHING FITS, NOTHING MATCHES!

wooflepoof · November 4th, 2008, 04:21 PM

This car is hilarious. I LOVE it

i prefer the merc emblem on the front though

FATMOUSE · November 4th, 2008, 04:27 PM

oh dear. that's awful

cdbob · November 4th, 2008, 04:49 PM

They thought Luxury car, then forgot about it and made this steaming pile of shit body kit.

ja404 · November 4th, 2008, 05:43 PM

Ewwwwwwww

It's got a big stupid tongue!

Lilleput · November 4th, 2008, 06:05 PM

COULD it look good in all black / Carbon without the Boeing wing on the back?

Awful, hideous, utterly tasteless, & horrendously tacky.

TheCleaner · November 4th, 2008, 10:25 PM

yikes, its like an episode of what happens when a chav wins the lottery

Gman333-X-ferrari · November 4th, 2008, 11:40 PM

Maybe in an all-black livery it might look okay, but the aero bits are still way too tacky.

Donington · November 5th, 2008, 05:48 AM

I want it in light blue but only if it comes with a medallion. Preferably, I would like said medallion to be a clock.

Homer_Bart · November 5th, 2008, 07:28 AM

Aren't SLRs going to be phased out really soon?

Why bother tuning a car that is meeting death within the see-able future?

NooDle · November 5th, 2008, 07:58 AM

Holy bad taste batman!

the only way they can improve on an SLR is to make it lighter and more powerful, not more stupid looking.
The SLR 722 "cup" version Clarkson drove in the Thriller video is a good start, not this

DTMracer · November 5th, 2008, 09:51 AM

I've always loved the SLR, so its sad to see one ruined like this

Aston Martin · November 5th, 2008, 10:45 AM

Top speed 216... isn't that stock?

Blayde · November 5th, 2008, 11:00 AM

208mph and 3.8s to 60 mph are the stock figures, i don't see anyone with half a mind paying that much just to dress it up and make it go a bit faster to a speed they're never going to use.

Personally if they went that far as to add that much CF airflow improvements, that's probably what gets the extra 8mph, the 80+ increase in power seems like a small contributor to an insignificant figure

KaJuN · November 6th, 2008, 06:10 PM

I love how they took a big poopie on Mercedes and McLaren by ripping off the badges and replacing them with their own.
