    Trademark Suggests Mercedes Might Be Planning Another SLR

    The name that is the Mercedes-McLaren SLR needs no introduction. Back in the early 2000s when it was launched, it was one of the fastest cars that money could buy, offering comfortable GT-ing but with heaps and heaps of punch upon depressing the accelerator pedal. And that’s not even mentioning the even more special 722 and Sterling Moss editions. The SLR hasn’t been in production for about a decade now, but a recent trademark filing may indicate the SLR name will be with us in the near future…

    The Drive came across the doings of a law firm who seemed to have filed the patent and trademark for the “SLR” name on behalf of Daimler, with the aim of, “land[ing] vehicles and structural parts thereof.”

    This is only speculation, unfortunately, as it is known practise for automakers to renew trademarks and the like so other companies don’t snatch up and steal the names for themselves. However, with the new-generation AMG GT around the corner, who knows? Perhaps a special edition version might be in order at some point in the future that will make use of the SLR name.

    When the SLR ceased production in 2010, it was producing 617 HP (460 kW) and 780 Nm of torque from its 5.4-litre, supercharged V8. Still mightily impressive, even by today’s standards.

    • The first customer Maserati MC20 has landed in SA finished in Bianco Audace. We are expecting 9 units to arrive this year. 

The base comes in at R6,714,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 delivering 620 hp (463 kW) and 730 Nm of torque.

It is a very pretty thing. What do you all think?

    • The latest BMW X4 M Competition is undeniably quick. It packs a rip-snorting engine delivering bonkers acceleration and some seriously impressive handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

This LCI model boasts a sweet technical update, with more performance and better tech on offer, plus bespoke M features for this halo model.

The ride however is a tad hard-edged and the X3 M Competition alternative does offer more practicality. If you prefer coupe-like styling this is the one for you even if Sao Paulo Yellow may not be your first choice.
