Famous Parts has introduced their new Mercedes McLaren SLR Roadster. Modestly revised, the SLR has been equipped with a KW adjustable suspension and 20- / 21-inch ADV.1 5.2 MV2 SL wheels with a brushed silver finish. The company also plans on installing a tailor-made titanium exhaust system but there’s no word on whether or not it will result in any performance gains. As a refresher, the SLR features a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine that develops 626 HP (460 kW) and 780 Nm (575 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to a five-speed transmission which enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 332 km/h (206 mph).
