}}The 2004 '''Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren''' (C199) is a GT car that was jointly developed by [[Mercedes-Benz]] and [[McLaren]]. SLR stands for "Sport, Leicht, Rennsport" meaning "Sport, Light, Racing" in English.

It was altered with a number of body redesigns, performance improvements, and special edition models during its production which lasted from 2003 to 2010. This included the [[Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition|722 Edition]] and the [[Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss Edition|Stirling Moss Edition]].

The 5.4L engine is a 232kg SOHC V8 unit that is entirely hand crafted out of aluminium and fitted with a Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger that rotates at 23,000 rpm to produce 13 PSI of boost.

The SLR is equipped with carbon-ceramic brake discs to provide better stopping power as well as provide fade resistance up to 1,200°C and an automatic air brake that provides up to an additional 90% of total aerodynamic drag.

The SLR appears in ''[[Need for Speed: Most Wanted]]''.

It has a lower top speed and worse handling compared to other high-end cars, but compensates with superior acceleration and much better pursuit durability, when fully upgraded.

===''Need for Speed: Carbon''===
The SLR McLaren appears in ''[[Need for Speed: Carbon]]'' as a tier 3 [[Need_for_Speed:_Carbon/Cars|exotic]] class car.

Its weakness lies in its handling, as it understeers a little due to its weight. It comes with a very high top speed coupled with quick acceleration. Its weight does, however, make it effective in pursuits.
