I don't think that they're behind on sales with the SLR. My sources tell me that the power and any sheetmetal (can you still say 'sheetmetal' about a CF car?) changes to the SLR (like the already newly offered interior and exterior color options) are more of a 'mid-production refreshment' which in my experience MBZ tends to do with all of their cars....

The SLR is definetly not behind in sales, in fact the SLR is doing better than the Porsch CGT and Enzo in sales. The Ferrari Enzo was very limited to begin with though. MB is not doing this to increase sales it`s just a mid-life improvement.

Interesting though, it looked like they had wrung out as much power as possible, because even Brabus could only add 34hp more to their version of the SLR..

You see photos of people hoarding 20 SLR's for sale at 3x the sticker price. With this rumoured new version you can expect to see the old version move a lot faster.
