It's Official: Mercedes Unveils Details Of The All-New SLR McLaren Roadster

Needless to say, it's a an exquisitely beautiful vehicle (at least when its top is down), sharing the same styling as its coupe counterpart but featuring a fully-retractable top. One question pondered by many before today was whether the SLR Roadster would maintain it's unique butterfly doors, and thankfully, it has. Other than that, not much has changed from the traditional SLR...

Many more Photos and info after the jump

I got my hands on the official dealer ordering guide

for the roadster.
The only difference between a roadster and an 07 SLR is that the roadster will come with the thicker steering wheel and aluminum shift paddles found on the ''722".
New optional equipment is carbon fiber trim package for the dash and new optional fabric seats of some sorts.
The car is also available in numerous colors for the interior, soft top, exterior and the brakes come in 3 colors.
Even the stitching in the seats can come in numerous colors.
All in all it should be a very special car.
Anyone know how many of these will be made?

I bet they'll make as many as they need to get to 3500 SLRs total. So far about 1200 SLRs have been sold worldwide so they'll gladly accept as many orders as possible, IMO.

Between this, the CLK63 Black Series and 40th Anniversary CL65 you rich guys are going to have a field day at the MB dealership!
