This baby is a 5 speed automatic transmission and has a supercharged V8. It will accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds which makes it the fastest automatic transmission car in the world. It is the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster. Sweet Ride.
I'll let wikipedia explain some more details,
"SLR stands for "Sport, Leicht, Rennsport" (sport, light, racing). Mercedes-Benz has stated that they will build 3500 SLRs in a span of 7 years, with an annual production of only 500 cars.[2] The car's base price is GB£300,000 (approx. US$495,000 or €475,000, c. 2007).[3]"
"The Roadster's roof, however, is made from a "newly developed material" and hence will not take the form of a folding metal arrangement, as is now common on many modern cars. Following a manual unlatching, it takes a mere 10 seconds to fold away electrically. According to an official document from Mercedes, the cabin of the roadster is capable of allowing conversation between driver and passenger up to a speed of 124 mph (200 km/h) with the roof retracted. It is unsure if McLaren will release another version of the roadster like it did with the SLR 722 version."
