Default McMerc SLR droptop: Paris Hilton's Car

Why else would you get a convertible version besides to shamelessly pose?

Fancy feeling the wind in your hair... at 207mph? That's the incredible prospect awaiting potential owners of the McLaren Mercedes SLR convertible - a car that has remained top secret until now.

Auto Express has learned a drop-top version of the car built in Woking, Surrey, is well on its way to production, and will be officially unveiled within six months.

It follows in the wheeltracks of the Vision SLR concept car, and will use the same 626bhp V8 as the standard model. With McLaren's composite body, the SLR convertible will be as strong as the fixed-roof version, and its performance just as explosive. Prices start at a hair-raising £350,000.

Agreed. Unless the fixed-roof version has a flimsy chassis that has been fixed.

Why is it that the first two people that come to mind driving this car are http://i2.tinypic.com/24cinp0.jpg and http://blog.chosun.com/web_file/blog/184/184/2/wayne-rooney.jpg

It looks fantastic though.

I guess I am one of the only ones who likes open top motorinig.

If I were picking a car I would be torn between a hardtop sportscar and an open top boulevard cruiser. I would not be diving with the top down to be seen, I would drive with it down to enjoy it. I couldn't care less what other people think of me.

She is completly oblivious to the problems in the world and even if she were aware of them would not lift a finger to help because it might damage her $5,000 manicure.

She is an utterly useless human being, and I can't wait to see her end up in a gutter with a dirty heroin needle still hanging out of one of her collapsed veins.

Happy thoughts, center my Chi, happy thoughts, Goosefrabba.

Thanks for summing it up, Blind. Every time I think of Paris Hilton I can feel cancer cells forming inside me. Oh, and she's fucking ugly, too. Kind of like this convertible version, I think. In fact, those two were made for each other. I hope she trades her coupe SLR for one of these and spares us the horror of having whatever dipshit she's sucking off this week write it off in a bit of highly pointlessly publicized tabloid gossip.
