Default Mercedes to build drop-top SLR?



Mercedes may build a convertible roadster version of its popular SLR supercar, according to Britain's WhatCar? magazine. The $450,000 car is currently only offered as a coupe, despite the fact that it was shown in concept form in both coupe and convertible forms. The SLR — build as a partnership between Mercedes and McLaren — has a 626bhp V8 engine and can hit 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. Mercedes and McLaren are also reportedly considering building a less expensive supercar to challenge the Ferrari F430. See larger images of the SLR roadster concept after the jump…

I agree, the front end is a little weird, but would still buy one

The pointiness doesn't bother me. You do know that the air intake is through the Mercedes emblem in the front. I'd love to have one of those cars.
