Mercede's Super Sports Car On Track

Automotive Industries, August, 1999

DaimlerChrysler finally green lights its striking Mercedes-Benz SLR super sports car. The two-seater, which has 544 hp V-8, will be built at the new TAG McLaren Cars Ltd. facilities under construction in Woking, England. The debut is scheduled for 2003. No price yet, but its guaranteed to be steep.

DaimlerChrysler expects the high-performance sports car segment to almost double to about 2,500 units in the next five years, and it wants 20% of that business.
