Mercedes Benz McLaren SLR – end of production

In 2009 the last SLR model will come out of the production line, a roadster which, after a five year carreer, hasn’t made as many sales as it would have been expected.

The coupe version has already been withdrawn from the market last year, so SLR will leave the automobile world next year, when the last roadster will be produced. McLaren is ready to produce its own supercar, code named P11, which might be put into production in 2009, probably at the same factory where the SLR is made.

The production for the SLR model increased in 2007 to 275 copies, 14 more than in 2006. Even so, the original plan to produce 400 to 500 cars a year hasn’t been achieved.
