Production has stopped.

MB and McLaren are going separate ways on it so the results should be interesting with 2 cars appearing.

Thanks for the update, then how can someone order an SLR Roadster if Mclaren isnt producing it? Is it build solely by merc?

No, the SLR Mclaren Roadster is still being built by both. It's the SLR hardtop that is being discontinued.

That's what I initially thought, it looks just like a viper but apparently it's not going to look like that in it's final production, using that body to test the engine. Speaking of the Viper, the new one is going to be 600bhp, pretty insane, all these hp wars between manufacturers.
