The 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren ranks 6 out of 7 Exotic Sports Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 11 published reviews and test drives of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
Critics contend that the SLR McLaren is a powerful, eye-catching status car. It's up against stiff competition and ranks near the middle of its small class.

The SLR McLaren is praised for its strong powertrain and classy exterior design that screams success. "The roadster is about style and exclusivity, high speeds or low," writes Car and Driver. "In fact, Klaus Nesser, head of exclusive products for Mercedes, expects droptop-SLR buyers to be more inclined to cruising than racing. An open car provides more opportunity to be seen and envied."
SLR-McLaren Performance - 9.2 (Excellent)

Test drivers are impressed with the SLR McLaren's dynamic performance and handling capabilities. With an AMG-built 617 horsepower engine, it's no surprise. "The SLR is more super-muscle-car than super-sports-car, and 'agile' wouldn't be the first word to describe it," writes AutoWeek. Altogether, it ranks near the top of its class for performance.

SLR-McLaren Exterior - 9.1 (Excellent)

With its sleek body and scissor-door design, reviewers find that the SLR McLaren turns heads. Reviewers, however, aren't entirely satisfied with its convertible top. Automobile Magazine writes: "The roof, which is constructed out a newly developed material and is available in black, tan, or red, is lowered at the touch of a button -- after manually unlatching it. Manually? In this price range? How quaint." Still, its exterior design ranks near the top of its class.

SLR-McLaren Interior - 8.0 (Very Good)

Critics find the McLaren's cabin to be luxurious, but uncomfortable during speedy runs with the top down. According to Car and Driver, "Traveling at speeds of more than 100 mph in any top-down automobile gets to be uncomfortable, and that applies to the SLR more than most, thanks to the basso bark of its side pipes, relentlessly reminding occupants of every combustion event in the 5.4-liter SOHC 24-valve V-8 engine." The McLaren's interior ranks in the middle of its class. Continue with our full SLR McLaren Interior Review, or check out the photo gallery. continue
