"The SLR hasnt been the world-beater Mercedes and McLaren expected, having been shaded by Ferrari Enzo's and Porsche Carrera GT. Our sources say this car is intended to boost sluggish sales in much same way the LM version helped shift the remaining McLaren F1 at the end of that car's production run."

Whatever the case it looks like the Porsche CGT and Ferrari Enzo`s going to get a kick in the pants from the looks of this article.

This improved SLR should live up to the stats!

Well you never know Enzo and CGT might be improved too but I doubt. CGT is fine piece of car anyway.

As for Enzo there is the more exlusive Fxx, and as for the Porsche they simly need to involve Gembella into further detail, Porsches are extremely easy to upgrade, usually a simple ECU fix is all it takes to get another 50-100 hp out of them.

I dont think there are much more to improve on the CGT, maybe more horsepowers but the handling is already perfect.

Agreed the CGT is my favorite supercar, i would leave it just the way it is, other than a hp mod of an ECU flash. Thats it.

Am I the only one who have noticed that the article states that MB is working on a F430 rival codenamed P8?

That could quite be the case. The article is too small for me to read
