The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is a supercar automobile
co-developed by DaimlerChrysler and McLaren Cars. The Merecedes-Benz Mc Laren SLR is the fastest
automatic transmission car in the world.
The SLR has a supercharged 5.5 litre dry sumped 90 degree V8. It
produces 626 hp at 6500 rpm and 575 lb torque at 3250 - 5000 rpm. AMG
technicians took the original SL-55 AMG engine and optimized its
capacities by enlarging the fuel pump, the cylinders, and put a larger
cooling system that absorbs air to cool down the engine. It has 3
valves per cylinder with SOHC. This is very unusual as most supercars,
indeed most modern cars, have DOHC and 4 valves per cylinder, but it
keeps with the recent trend in modular V engines from Mercedes Benz and
decreases engine emissions. The Twin-screw type supercharger and the 2
aluminium rotors have a maximum speed of 23,000 rpm. It is mounted
between the two engine banks and uses 120 bhp at maximum capacity.
