Update
It appears the the SLR will now use a Bi-Turbo V8 which will crank out 580 hp instead of the 5.5 litter supercharged 557. Secondly body weight is being kept at 3080 lbs as to be lighter than the Lambo. It will feature conventional steel brakes instead of the ceramic ones because ofthe SBC braking system. Also the car will still feature a 5 speed auto and predictd 0=60 times are 3.4 seconds.

Yeah, it sounds very high tech. But without ceramic brake sound a bit disapponting.

According to the latest information I've got, the SLR will get the SBC Braking System...
