626 HP supercharged V8, 3.8 seconds from 0-60, top speed of 208 MPH.
Sounds pretty good right? I don't think so, and here's why:
3748 pound dry weight, 5 speed automatic transmission, and the fact that it looks like a retarded SL. This car is more than just "uncool"; this car is a bastardization of all that is good about supercars. It tries to be a racecar and luxury car all at once and it ends up being worth less than the sum of its parts. I'm whipping out the MJU card on this one, personally.

I think this was meant as more of a luxury car with a big engine than a supercar, that's why it has an auto, I mean do you see bentley's with sticks? And although this badly desrve's a stick, I't can never be called a "Supercar"
The styling isn't as horrific as you all make it sound, and I believe this car is respectable enough to deserve an "uncool" the only thing keeping it out of MJ is the engine, and the fact that is was built by Mclaren and the only thing keeping it out of "cool" is the fact that this is the ultimate "I'm better than you," rich-bastard posuer car...

I love it. It could use less weight though, It'd be great to strip out the interior. Get rid of the heavy automatic transmission.

Honestly man have you no taste at all? Or do you just rate all cars by how much BHP they have? A dragster would be for you what the DB9 is for me....Vulgar and disgusting if you ask me, great car but I'll have a Carrera GT or a Zondaaaa thanks!

Or you could just move it I mean how much difference is it going to make if it is moved. I used to hate it but its become better looking as time went on, especially in black. It's just the same as all recent mercedes, they dont make lightweight drivers cars, they make super fast luxury cars.

Having actually seen that color on the road I can certify it's pretty badass. Actually I've seen them in all the colors they've been built in. Silver is stunning but kind of meh, black is pretty badass, red is too garish, the indigo (purple) is pretty hot, white is classy, and my personal favorite is pink...uh no. I haven't seen the green one, but that's my favorite.
The one shown here is Silver, yet you call it ugly

I'd buy one, then strip it out completely....
The long bonnet can lead to some bad jokes though, and people will have bad impressions of you if you drive that down the road.

The SLR 722 GT in nice... 3064 lbs, 680 bhp, top speed of 195. But then again, I suppose it can't qualify to be one the wall seeing as to how it's not a street car. Good read though:
