The Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR

Despite some controversy when first introduced, there is no denying the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is an amazing piece of engineering. This car seemed so over the top when I first saw it, but the more I learned about how much of the flash and flair was actually function built, this car started to make sense. It's yet another example of Mercedes-Benz flexing their engineering muscle.

Below is a fantastic clip from Jay Leno's Garage on his SLR. Thanks for sharing the video's Jay! I'm going to try and feature Jay's new video each week... enjoy!

The Bugatti Veyron! Our supercar poll winner.. Seems the longstanding must have supercar McLaren F1 has been de-throned as the supercar champ. It's hard to argue any other car that can trump the Bugatti. It is the first car in a long time that is over the top in every way imaginable. Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll! Be sure and check back soon for a new poll.

Bugatti Veyron vs. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Video:

Just to put in perspective how fast the Bugatti Veyron really is, here is a great video of the Bugatti Veyron running a few sprints against the very fast Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren!! Watch how the 1001hp Bugatti Veyron pulls away from the McLaren Mercedes with ease. I can't even imagine what it is like driving that Bugatti at top speed... Amazing Car!
