This new scissor-door supercar -- dubbed the SLR McLaren -- is based on a monocoque structure made from ultra-stiff carbon-fiber composites and it carries a supercharged aluminum 5.4-liter V8 engine hand-built by Mercedes-Benz's performance gurus at AMG. The plant peaks at an incredible 617-hp as teamed with a 5-speed Mercedes automatic with one-tap clutch-less TouchShift feature. Price tag's equally incredible (well over $400,000), but only 100 issues will make it to the U.S. each year.
