New Mercedes McLaren SLR Prototype Spotted In Spain

A prototype Mercedes McLaren SLR has been spotted on a mountain road in Spain. The SLR is presumed to be upgraded later this year. The updates are said to include a power increase for its supercharged V8 from 626 to 650 hp, an updated interior, 19-inch wheels, a firmer suspension, a new braking system and increased weight savings. New colors (blue exterior, tan interior) may also be available.

Just in time. I was going to buy an SLR but it didn't have enough power and I must have it in blue. It's about time!

They defintely need to increase power. Benz's new AMG models are mostly making 500hp. The 65-series AMG cars are making 600hp already.

If this thing is supposed to be "special" and worth its $400000 US dollar pricetag, it had better be different from the very-similar AMG cars costing $150000.
