This article is about the grand tourer. For the 1950s sports racing car, see. The carbon ceramic brakes in the SLR The SLR features, a type of system. The are carbon-ceramic and provide better stopping power and fade resistance than steel discs when operating under ideal working temperature. Mercedes-Benz claims these discs are fade resistant to 1,200 °C (2,200 °F).
The front discs are internally vented and 370 mm (15 in) diameter eight-piston are used. Rear discs are 360 mm (14 in) in diameter with four-piston callipers. During wet conditions the callipers automatically skim the surface of the discs to keep them dry. Aerodynamics [ ]. The side profile of the SLR The SLR features active aerodynamics; there is a spoiler mounted on the rear integral air brake flap. The spoiler increases downforce depending on its angle of elevation (angle of attack). At a set speed, the spoiler/brake automatically raises to 10 degrees (15 degrees in the 722 edition), when demanded via the driver's switch, the elevation can be increased to 30 degrees (35 degrees in the 722 edition) for increased rear downforce, at the cost of increased steady state drag.
The car had a flat underbody and a rear diffuser for improved downforce. Due to this, there was no other place for the exhaust pipes to exit, other than the sides of the car, making it another unique feature of the SLR. The SLR McLaren sports a hand-built 5.4-litre, supercharged 626 PS all-aluminium V8 engine The SLR sports has a 232 kg (511 lb) hand-built 5.4 L; 331.9 cu in (5,439 cc) with a X of 97 mm × 92 mm (3.82 in × 3.62 in), all-, per cylinder, 90°, with a of 8.8:1 and lubricated via a system. The rotates at a maximum of 23,000 rpm and produces 0.9 bar (13 psi) of boost. The compressed air is then cooled via two. The engine generates a maximum power output of 626 PS (460 kW; 617 hp) at 6,500 rpm and a maximum of 780 N⋅m (575 lbf⋅ft) at 3,250 to 5,000 rpm. McLaren took the original concept car designed by Mercedes and moved the engine 1 metre (39.4 in) behind the front bumper, and around 50 centimetres (19.7 in) behind the front axle.
