The SLR has a Mercedes AMG drivetrain, it's 5-speed torque converter gearbox was utilized by many other Mercedes-Benz models back in the day, and I'm pretty sure the control electronics is from Merc too, because, you know, there WASN'T ANY McLaren production car to borrow one from...

@jimmyfarley5581 Год назад

@@_retrophile_7473 I totally agree with you. Bigger engine doesn't necessarily mean more power and more performance. People think a (500bhp) 6 litre V8 will be faster than a (500bhp) 2 litre 4 cylinder. Why? There's lots of factors involved. Capacity is not indicative of power output. A smaller engine can make just as much power as a larger engine. Why Tiff launched without revs is beyond me. Perhaps he was told to go easy on the very expensive transmission.

Mercedes has nearly 100 more HP and similar weight. But the supercharger delivers way more down low grunt. None of that matters because the LFA sounds like a rabid banshee and revs to 9,500 rpms and because of that, I’ll happily take the Lexus over the Mercedes lol.
