As the floor the accelerator Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, there was a brief snap of skating before the electronic stability control stepped in to balance the sudden tidal wave of torque from the power of -19 Michelin car 295/30ZR back. After he was only a matter of listening to the staccato rhythm of the deep 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 running in the SLR on the track is relatively short at Malmsheim near Stuttgart (Mercedes, who organized the performance test for American magazines ) and then press the Shift key on the steering wheel whenever the speedometer reaches its 7000 rpm redline.
Doing this with any degree of competence, and are rewarded with race 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds. The quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds is distributed to 125 mph, and even this may improve in a warmer surface. Test session C / D is the last of four and was in the afternoon, when temperatures were declining in October.
Qualified testers can just run the performance of the SLR stability control system (ESP Mercedes-speak) by switching to the other, less intrusive position and finishing gas pedal for traction, but they can not beat it. In normal mode ESP, you have very powerful Launch Control, and SLR 575 pounds-feet of torque from 3250 rpm, the system is worth its weight in gold plated connectors. It was also nice to know that the ceramic brake rotors and calipers as large is large rapidly strip speed at the end of each course of 130 km / h on the track relatively short Malmsheim.
