Mercedes Think Maybe You Just Didn't Like The SLR's Roof, Doors, Windows.

Yup, Z-Germans are at it again. Mercedes isn't saying anything about it yet, but it's no secret that they've been running a camouflaged SLR prototype sans roof, windshield and just about everything else above the belt-line.

Almost certain to be the run-out model for the unpopular SLR (Though we thought that about the Roadster as well), the new SLR Speedster is already running around the Nurburgring and seems to be rather quick about it. Expect this impractical version of Mercedes' practical super car to weigh less and go faster, but still suffer from lack of clutch and retain those funny brakes.

Also expect your friends to ask why you've bought one now that the SL65 AMG Black is out, and the SLC is imminent. Still, if you're a die-hard 55 Mille Miglia fan without a left foot, who doesn't mind bugs in your teeth, this may be the super car you've been waiting for.
