In what has been another slow day for Mercedes news, I decided to scour my resources to bring you some type of interesting Mercedes tidbit to make your day go a little bit quicker.  In my quest, I found some photos on one of Mercedes' websites that I think might just do the trick.

Anybody that has heard of Mercedes has no doubt heard of the SLR McLaren, Mercedes' 617 horsepower entry into the land of supercars.  But have you ever wondered how the $452,750 SLR is constructed?

Wonder no more, my dear readers, because below you will find photographs of the SLR McLaren throughout various stages of production. You can enlarge any photos by clicking them, and press the back button on your browser to return to the previous page.  Enjoy.
