Mclaren Mercedes SLR Roadster

The Mclaren Mercedes SLR Roadster reaches 60 mph in 3.46 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.32 s, tripping the lights at 130.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.84 s and the eighth mile in 7.43 s, reaching 100 mph in 7.05 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the SLR Roadster

The 2007 Mclaren Mercedes SLR Roadster is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,825 kg with 617 bhp, which works out at 338 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 338 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.84 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 478th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 3rd quickest of the 4 Mclaren Mercedess here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 130.0 mph, the 213th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mclaren Mercedes SLR Roadster is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
