The SLR McLaren was a grand tourer developed jointly by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren and sold from 2003 to 2010, when Mercedes-Benz owned forty percent of the McLaren Group. The name abbreviates Sport Leicht Rennsport, in tribute to the 300 SLR race car of 1955 that inspired it. It grew from the Vision SLR concept shown at the 1999 North American International Auto Show, and Mercedes styled it while McLaren engineered and built it. A hand-built 5.4 litre supercharged V8 sits behind the front axle. It was offered as a coupe and a roadster, with the speedster as a limited edition, and the 722 Edition was limited to 150 units.
