I follow GTMeister in his stunning Carrera GT to a local supercar showroom in Stockholm so that I can drive a Mercedes McLaren SLR for the very first time... it's nothing like I expected.

Enzo - ✔️ SLR - ✔️ CGT - . Really hoping we get to see you driving a CGT and you complete driving the holy trinity. Edit : Also the modern holy trinity 918-✔️ LaFerrari-✔️ P1- . So you've to drive one McLaren and one Porsche

The blue Evo IV/V at 06:22 - 06:25! Also, while everyone is talking about the SLR 722 Edition, I'd say aim higher. The MSO SLR 722 Edition with unique widebody (I've seen one before-the one that belongs to the Sultan of Johor, Malaysia) or SLR Stirling Moss.

@Speednote10 5 жыл бұрын

It's not about aiming high, it's just about what car you like more. The MSO SLR looks terrible imo and you need a helmet to drive a "stays in the garage if it's raining" Sterling Moss. ;) I'd take a 722 any day over those.

Which is better: having an easy to learn car, in which you can get crackin really quickly because it feels safe (and inherently loose interest sooner, because you reach the skill ceiling faster) or having a car that takes longer to learn. Sure it scares you every once in a while, but it also keeps you excited longer and more of the time... which one would you take if you could only take one...

@johnmontag 5 жыл бұрын

The length of the hood on an SLR always gets me in person. It's huge in photos, but doesn't compare in person. And to say a SLR is in the same class as Carrera GT or Enzo isn't fair in my opinion. The slush box on the SLR is no dice in my opinion.
