Mercedes And McLaren To Build New SLR Variants?

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Driving Shot Front and Side View

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of posting yesterday... some business came up and I was out of the office all day, but I'm back and ready to go.

First up today are rumors that Mercedes and McLaren may be working on additional variants of the always illustrious SLR. WhatCar?, a UK-based automotive publication, recently interviewed Dieter Zetsche, CEO of DaimlerChrysler, when he was quoted as saying "We could do 50-100 cars (SLR's) with certain attributes," even alluding to the fact there could be a roadster version in the works.  Rumors have also been circulating that a smaller, less exensive SLR is in the works, set to do battle with the likes of the Ferrari F430.

Of course at this point, this is all speculation, but if any of these rumors do come to fruition, we'll be the first to let you know.  In the meantime, you can check out the full article over at WhatCar? and judge for yourself.
