The Mercedes-McLaren SLR cost $500,000 only a few years ago -- about the same as the Ferrari Enzo and Porsche Carrera GT. Here's a closer look at the SLR.

So.... Germany's Viper. Love it
Random12231 gp2 car
Random12231 exactly what I was thinking
Random12231 It's not just German, British as well
The latest Viper ACR has made that stigma a thing of the past I'm afraid
MnSXx the Viper turns extremely well in the hands of a skilled driver. Even the early generations are legendary for being monsters at the track.
I would buy this car just so that I could sometimes refer to it as "My Mercedes" and "My Mclaren" in the same conversation so that people would think i had one of each.
CDKJ 85 you can literally afford both brand new for cheaper than this thing...
😂😂😂
Lmao😂😂
Ivan Dimov lol false
Gejuan Springer you can get a brand new c300 for like 45k and a mclaren for less than 200k lmao
They really really need to start making this car again, imagine a 2020 version.
For 10000 Dollars
This car sucks, barely looks any different from the Mercedes SL. Imagine paying half a million for a fucking Mercedes... you could buy a brand new Lamborghini Aventador SVJ or a high mileage Carrera GT for that kind of money
the AMG GT is kinda the modern version of it. not as cool as this but they sound wicked in race trim
@@Steven-sc3gu stupid ppl just compare it to CGT or the others but never drove it.
This car is for people who can afford it without compromise.
@@Steven-sc3gu its completely different to an SL... way more exclusive than an SVJ and the CGT is a straight up supercar this is a GT. One of the most capable GTs ever made, there's a reason its so respected and considered as part of the original hypercar trinity
funny how SLR is far more of a GT than the most of "GT" branded cars including the Carrera GT
Yeah the Carrera GT isn't much of a grand tourer. I might be wrong but I think the name of that care may be an illusion to the 904 Carrera GTS racecar from the '60s.
"The terms "grand tourer", "gran turismo", "grande routière", and "GT" are among the most misused terms in motoring. The grand touring designation generally "means motoring at speed, in style, safety, and comfort. Purists define "gran turismo" as the enjoyment, excitement and comfort of open-road touring."
As far as I know, this is exactly what Jay Leno was telling Doug about. It’s a hardcore GT (as in grand tourer). Very fast and nimble, fairly comfortable, and a trunk...
Bruh what do you mean😂 Carrera GT is a sports car, but it is unbelievably luxurious. That's the meaning of GT. On the contrary, a sports car like supra won't make the cut to GT, as it's relatively less luxurious
The Carrera GT stands for "Grand Turismo," not "Grand Tourer." It's a hypercar, There's nothing luxurious about it.
If you played NFSMW you will never forget this beast
Whitebeard The first time I nailed Cross was with this car.
And dat engine sound :)
BULL
Whitebeard I knowing from nfs carbon
Also the M3 GTR.
Yeah i just watched one in slap train
All other youtubers are reviewing the new 720S and Doug reviews a 13 year old Mercedes SLR and makes it to the trending pages. Shows just how good his videos are.
and how good the mic he had
Mike Capossela His videos are great!
Mike Capossela is where top gear is crap, it only shows off cars with their doors falling off in slapstick comedy
adm924s don't forget, especially the British top gear, only praises cars from Britain. Anything else was trash to them and I'm so glad that version of the show fell apart
Kellan Larson Seriously I feel like you have never watched Top Gear
This car deserves to be reviewed again - a new, more detailed video with a Doug Score and Cars and Bids intro.
превет
I completely agree.
💯
Maybe a review of the 722 is in order? I’m curious as to how much of an upgrade that version is.
Doug the type of guy who would land a helicopter on the hood of a Mercedes-McLaren
Nice one
😂
Forgotten?! The hero of Need For Speed Most Wanted!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Simon The Bard hell fucking yeah lol they make them like this nomore tbose were the days
and carbon!
NFS HP 2010
I agree, but its not really the first thing you think of when you hear "Mercedes" or "Mclaren"
No one forgets the SLR unless they were born within this millennium.
Voldemort Unless?
Voldemort lol, i remember it because i still play granturismo with this car on my psp
Arachnofondler lit profile pic
Voldemort was born in this millennium,haven't forgot this SLR
Voldemort was born in this millennium,haven't forgot this SLR
Something about this car's design is absolutely timeless. It falls into the same sort of feeling as the Honda S2000 or the Carrera GT. All it needs is maybe a facelift and they could easily market it today. The SLS looks older than the SLR.
I feel like mercedes in general has a "timeless" appeal
Remember when J. Clarkson praised this car's braking capability?
Yeah I've seen that episode
He went to Oslo in this car racing hammond and may
I remember *de-throning* Razor in NFSMW with this BOSS-ass car
I did it with the Cobalt
That game needs a remake
Hoss Delgado wait what?!
@@nghtspawn651 They did it already; And they fucked up...
I did it with the DB9
I've been watching Doug forever now and I have never ONCE clicked on his AutoTrader forum but every time he says it I feel like I'm .05% closer to.
🤔
OvertimesHouse L
OvertimesHouse Same here
don't worry I don't and will not ever bother with his website that sounds more like a online dealership
OvertimesHouse i tried to find him once but i couldnt...
There's a special place in my heart for the SLR. (Not a special place in my garage since I'll never be able to afford one. I can barely pay for my cats litter.)
Same. I'm a little baffled he didn't mention the rims/wheels at all. They're just as iconic as any other detail on this car. If not the most iconic detail, to me anyway.

StrangeProfile I was looking for this comment.
God Apple Gaming I was looking for a comment from him saying he has 5 and he didn’t know about the secret compartment
How many SLR’s does that asshole have?
overlex 5
overlex he had 7 but he sold 2
Mercedes & McLaren really should've made more cars together 😞
I hope for the future
Bond Mercedes will start offering McLaren engines in F1 again (with all that Honda mess) and seems to be "friends" again, so maybe, just maybe, there could be some AMG-McLaren work in the future.
Well there are many variants of the SLR, there is the 722, the Roadster, Roadster 722s, 722 GT, McLaren Edition and my favourite the Stirling Moss. I had a chance of seeing one in a private collection and boy what a car that is.
I wanna see a Honda powered McLaren supercar
Cyclic same
Ferrari Enzo
Porsche Carrera GT
Merc-Mclaren SLR
The old Holy trinity
LA of LA Replace the SLR with the Ford GT and we're talking.
The new ford gt isnt part of the current hybrid holy trinity
Kevin Moondust no because old ford gt still has no shot
You forgot the Maserati MC12
LA of LA +Murcielago
Doug is the type of guy who talks on phones without dialing any number
The pointy hood, the placement of the exhaust, the way the tri-star sits, the long hood and the vents on the side. It's the perfect Batmobile
hey doug, you have not replied to my email yet. i have asked you to review my toyota corolla.
XD
Do Kim you gotta go to RCR for that
He might actually have 2 corolla reviews actually 😂
Do Kim lol

BLACKLIST NUMBER 2: TORU SATO aka Bull. Car: Mercedes SLR McLaren
Yessssssssssss!!!!!!! I was thinking all the episode about the same!!!! great game.
Joel Lewis The only differences being red tint and aftermarket rims from the one shown in the video.
was someone talkin' about me?
Got his pink slip every time
best acceleration monster car , also if you set it right it will eat the asphalt.
13:37 jesus christ that sound is amazing
Don’t blaspheme

@@L1TTLEH0RN666 I just know your overweight
Ha, I'm about 70 kg so no not even close. Poor attempt at an ad hominem.
@@L1TTLEH0RN666 unhealthy and degenerate! Just what Satan wants
The SLR always reminded me of something of a German Viper. The long hood, side exhaust, roofline, character and sound are all reminiscent of the Viper imo. It’s also interesting that the SLR and the 3rd gen Viper were released the same year (2003) and Chrysler was owned by MB at the time. Coincidence? ... Maybe. Makes me wonder if there was any communication between the development teams.
I always thought the same with the sls.
@@MrMasterball1 during the development of the SLS they used a viper
That shit is not forgotten
I drive it in nfs mw
Jonah Nibbelink Um no, he's talking about the original NFSMW, which had an SLR.
Jonah Nibbelink gamecube version legendary game
Ps2 version is where it's at
Sergej LZ Blackpanthaa should play more NFSMW And get the SLR McLaren
NippyBHS PC version's good too when you install the Widescreen Fix
The 2000's had some of the best supercars
Kermeet Dafrowg like the R8
FalconGamer 58 yeah! Like the R8, enzo, clk gtr, murcielago, one-77, veyron, and so many others!
clk gtr late 90"s :D
Kermeet Dafrowg veyron?? omg no thanks.
Freimopp777 yes, I realized too late
to be honest, this is probably my fav supercar made in the past 20 years... Love the looks, the sounds... The fact that you could drive it half way round the world without going to a garage...
Probably my favorite engine sound of all time. That V8 rumble with the supercharger soprano note is incredible.
No joke my grandma bought that Motorola phone in 2004, and she is still using it today!
did she sell her slr
Tyler Cochran no shit
I've never had the Motorola V60, but I will say it was way more durable with it's metal front and back cover than the plastic crap every other manufacturer was putting out at the time. I'm not surprised it still works well 13 years after your grandma got it.
Doug is the type of guy to have automatic braking on in racing games.
VALANTI DEMETRIADES and call it a "quirk" of the game.
what makes you say that?
VALANTI DEMETRIADES i spit my coffee
VALANTI DEMETRIADES so true
And the racing line showing on the track
I adore the way the engine of this car sounds. It sounds strong a powerful like a muscle car, but also a bit refine and elegant. Is like an S series mixed with a Mustang
i will always remember this car because of need for speed most wanted back in 2005
You deserve a veterans discount sir
and driver san francisco
@@NatPeterson.89_ nice pfp dude
I remember when I had one in Midnight Club 3, DUB Edition... Amazing supercar
omg same....
also nfs most wanted
YEES!
Luco Zade YES YES YEEEEEEES
WAITING FOR THIS COMMENT. WAKES UP THE KID INSIDE ME WHO LONGS FOR A PSP
Luco Zade don't forget NFS Carbon!
Nfs Most Wanted. Feel old yet?
Was never in that game...
@Nimeni Nimeni not the merc SLR
OMG I played the hell out of that game (PS2 version of course). It was REALLY GOOD on a wheel with pedals. And yeah this SLR was one of my fav cars to drive (along with the Carrera GT).
Nfs underground 2.... Feel old yet?
Nimeni Nimeni you shut his ass up
13:37 OMG WHAT A SOUND
I think the SLR aged the best out of the three (Enzo & Carrera GT). They could bring it out today and wouldn't have to change the exterior at all, it still looks modern.
I agree with you for the most part! I’d say everything other than the headlights has aged well(that style imo hasn’t aged well from the Mercedes cars of that era). But I think the Carrera GT and the Enzo have aged well too! Enzo the least out of all of them though.
Doug, the type of guy that gets excited over a fuel cap
He f*cks the fuel cap
@Barney Stinson
_ And, looks like you are the type of guy begging for attention.
Happy now?
Barney Stinson generally in high end cars the fuel cap has some neat little quirks that average people that drive average cars wouldn’t expect cuz other than a sticker basically saying you probably shouldn’t turn your car into a giant road flare there isn’t GENERALLY any quirky features with your fuel cap

I've always loved the way Mercedes engines sound. You can always tell it's a Merc from a mile away on the AMG cars.
Mclaren designed the engine
@@jamesd7678 but the exhaust is amg afaik and amgs do have a nice sound that's relatively recognizable
Even the E500's have a great sound. I had two. But alas, finally leaving the Merc fam for Porsche. Buh Bye and good riddens Mercedes Service Dept!
Well you say that, but I find myself often questioning if it's an AMG or an RS6/RS7 just from the sound alone. idk, maybe I'm just a noob haha
I bet ur farts are louder
6:51 man this is freakin cool!!! I would buy the car just to press it rsrsrs.
"iT DoEs oNE Of thEsE" i laughed really hard wth
No ones forgotten the SLR Doug!
ThatGuyNamedScott. C The what now?
Sounds like a jet powered V8
Do u hear yourself talk
I remember being like 6 years old and this was the first car I drooled over. And now at 22 and as a JDM fanboy that hasn’t changed
Wow, very interesting to find out after 15yrs of these SLR's in existence that the front hood opens up in such an intricate way. I literally had no idea about that.
Thx for always adding those little tid-bits of cool info Doug 👍👌
that supercharger whine though
they all sound much better than turbos
I love both, Superchargers sound powerful and forceful but turbos reminds me of the screaming sound of a turbine jet engine, especially the Koenigsegg Agera's turbos
well it's got twin turbos, not a supercharger
That's not true, the Mclaren SLR is in fact a Supercharged 5 litre v8
Tom Fabri yes they both unique in their own way but to get a general turbo car to sound like a turbine jet not as common
but with so many turbo cars their sound is not as fun as a supercharger now
just my opinion
Ahmed Moosaji definitely agree
How could you make this video and not let us hear the startup sound!!
Steven Newman that was not part of the borrowing conditions 😅
Doug NEVER shows the startup for some dumb reason. Drives me crazy.
Saabkyle04 always does.
Doug the type of guy to put Cars And Bids ad in the description of 3 year old video
I have seen one recently, and it's one of the greatest moments of my life
'Battery in trunk' seems to always blow his mind.
On a tinder date
Doug: hey
Girl: hey
Doug: so... what are some of your quirks and unique features?
Some people lack originality
Girl: Hey
Doug: Hey

Miguel Rodriguez lmaoooooooooo
Doug: *moves over girl kissing her passionately on the bed*

Doug: It's okay. I have... bumper to bumper warranty.
michael stamp Lmao 😂😂😂
I remember being 10 years old playing Most Wanted I hatted this car, but now, I'm 25 and I LOVE THIS CAR it's beautiful and amazing
3:54 I love the way your watch shines
It tries to cosplay the turning signals
@@carenthusiast172 a watch asshole
this is probably the only supercar where you actually see something through the rear mirror
Not really. All aston martin's have really good visibility all around.
Random Car Guy aston martins aren't supercars. Super cars are almost always classified as 200+mph cars. Only 1 or 2 astons do that and they both have TINY rear windows.
mipmipmipmipmip yeah, the cops, rapidly disappearing.
Basically most supercars with their engines in the front.
Doug on a date:
Her: do you want to know anything about myself
Doug: do you come with bumper to bumper warranty
Gotta be covered in case he decides to, you know, smash.
Dmitry L
her: now it's my turn. I want you to tell me about yourself
him: you can find out at audotrader.com/oversteer
Dmitry L it's insurance for bumper to bumper
G-d, I just love the sound of that supercharger whine.
About ten years ago I got to play around with one of these because me and my best friend convinced a salesman at the Mercedes of Beverly Hills dealership that my best friends father and my uncle (we were first cousins in this story mind you) was a gazillionaire oil magnate and that as a surprise for his 60th Bday we wanted to replace his Porsche GT lmao
Amazingly the salesman actually was on board and bought our ridiculous alibi. Anyways, one cool feature or quirk as Doug would call it and which he neglected to point out is that I noticed the car had this cool feature where if you were listening to the radio it could rewind or pause the live broadcast. Almost like a radio version of TiVo which meant it had to have a hard drive of some sort for digital storage capacity. Just was rly impressed by that feature, especially all the way back then.
This incredible vehicle is criminally underrated and doesn’t get nearly enough love or recognition as if undeniably deserves many times over
I’ve always liked the slr it looks so good for aero dynamics it looks like it just cuts through the air
I like how Doug is obviously trying to talk to the camera and provide commentary, but the owner keeps talking so he has to keep cutting the video Lol
roejieks Tru
roejieks He needs to start doing the drive portions of the review without the owners.
I don't think any owner of a $500,000 upper car would let doug drive their car without supervision.
Plus half the fun of having Doug come see your car would probably be the hang out and car discussion.
TheWaynester101 I don't believe that..these people contact Doug because they already know what kind of guy he is..respected, and respectful..Doug is prob the only guy I know, not that I personally know him, that I would let drive my hyper car and have no worries.
"the world's smallest ash tray with room for literally one ash" lmao

The useable supercar, I live where these were made and a friend who works for Maclaren arranged for me to go round the test track at Dunsfold in one, yes, it is insanely quick, but what I remember most was the braking and also the heat radiating out the body after it had been driven hard, this is a Mercedes Maclarenan, a blend of two worlds, that is like no other car.
never once forgotten about these, so badass
this is the best handling car in need for speed most wanted .
this was sergeant cross worst nightmare
SLS-7 after the lotus and Carrera GT, if you tune them correctly
this is way too inferior to the carrera gt in MW. almost the same acceleration, but the handling is much worse
John Scarce but it's best to drift
there is no drift mode in most wanted and if you try drifting in races you loose
John Scarce but in freeroaming when you tune everything max to the left, you can drift well when you countersteer only a bit
Try it out ;)
Dear Doug,
Please stop publishing videos until May 10. I'm trying to study for finals but these enticing videos keep getting in my way.
Thanks.
put them in your watch later
Same
my whole semester finals i haven't stopped watching his channel and motor trend channel :D
No one has forgotten this car. I still remember when it came out. Looked like something out of the future
Aw, my favourite 2000s era supercar! Great video 😊

Sietse V Nope. It's the same tech but the W220 controls actually are higher quality.
The heavy steering and hard brakes could be the mode you have it in. If you switch to super sport of race mode it might optimize or change the performance depending on the mode you have it set to.

I would rather shoot myself in the penis than watch those whiney bastards.
Another forgotten super car is the Saleen S7

no I didn't
Ah, well this car and the Saleen S7 were 2 of the best cars in the game, so I was reminded of it. I forgot about the S7!

Yes. Do you remember the Gemballa from that game? It was my favorite
That S7 was a cheat code lol. Undefeated with that car. Never lost.
Always curious about this SLR, thank you for showing us the details!!! 🤗🤗
The exhaust note is a rumble that is felt in your guts... it’s amazing!
Wouldn't it be interesting if someone stole your keys, got into your car, put the keys in, tried to steal the car and failed because they did not know about the button?

There is so many reasons why Doug is a national treasure. Many can learn from him.
Was thinking of this car when I woke up this morning and had to hit the back button and watch Dougs review again. He is so much more reserved and cordial. Now he is just a hyperball of enthusiasm! Jealous for sure, love you Doug! ❤

In the "controls"-section you could've mentioned the two levers for the wipers and turn signals.
Those come straight out of the Mercedes Sprinter, a big van/transporter.
The transmission on the SLR which is the Mercedes Benz 722.6 5 speed auto trans that was used a lot in their high HP high torque models like the McLaren SLR and the E55 AMG. This unit was known for being light weight and capable of handling 1000 HP/TQ with a few small modifications. It was used in a lot Chrysler products where it was known as the NAG1. A favorite auto trans among Mopar drag racers.
At the New York Auto Show in 2006 I noticed one small but really cool detail about the SLR. It was that it had a ram air intake right through the Mercedes Bez three point star badge in the front grill.
This is my dreamcar since my childhood i saw it for the first time :) now i'm 24 and its still my dream car while there are Bugatti Chrions or something i'm still on my SLR ♥
The indicator visibility seems dangerous? Not sure I understand why thats a feature
i scrolled comments until I found this question, which I was going to ask
especially when cops see it you will get pulled ovee
Here's a unique feature, the turn signal is designed to be useless at certain angles. NIFTY!
its really not a big deal lol you only really need to see if someone is turning or changing lanes or has their hazards on if they're in front of or behind you. there's no need to be able to see another car adjacent to you indicate where it's going. plus, maybe the designers thought the car looked nicer when its blinkers are off
Ok, so the rear indicator won't show at an angle from the back but remember as you change that angle, you can now see the door mirror light... That is how it was designed.
Jeremy Clarkson drove this from the UK to Oslo in a Top Gear race back in 2005.
I remember that! :D
One of my fav TG episodes of all :) "He's old, he has an arthritic hip... he will HAVE to stop."
Hello dutchy!
I had an incredible full metal remote controlled SLR when I was a kid. The remote control was the car key. It had automatic head/tail lights and a horn which was controlled with the key. The hood opening procedure was exactly the same as the car itself. The doors were like the normal car as well. The interior and the engine bay was exactly the same too. Probably my favourite toy of all time. It weighed almost 2 kilos bc. it was entirely metal. They don’t make them like they used to. I miss those days
Omg, I had the exact same toy and thought I think I have lost the remote over the years, the car still sits in my bookshelf! I've been fascinated by the SLR since the day I got the model
@@harshvardhansanghi9939 me too man. Been fascinated with cars ever since. My car sits on my bookshelf as well, but the batteries are corroded and a door is broken. :(
7:08
That's how start buttons used to work before the starter switch was integrated into the ignition lock.
You'd get into your car, insert the key and twist it, then you pressed the start button. It's a true retro feature.
every time I see one of these I always think of Bulls SLR from Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
I love this car

Doug, you should do a part 2 on the SLR and find someone with the SLR Stirling Moss. Completely different car and the fastest Mercedes ever made.
Wait, the Sterling Moss is the fastest Mercedes??? I thought it was the CLK GTR???
This thing is amazing, Mercedes needs to update this ASAP!!!
