Silver, white and black for sure. I think they also made some in red and a purple-ly color, but i could be wrong.

The SLR features active aerodynamics; there is a spoiler mounted on the rear integral air brake flap. The spoiler increases downforce depending on its angle of elevation (angle of attack). At speeds above 95 km/h (59 mph) the spoiler/brake automatically raises to 10 degrees (15 in 722 edition), when demanded via the driver's switch, the elevation can be increased to 30 degrees (35 in 722 version) for increased rear downforce, at the cost of increased steady state drag, also when the driver applies the brakes the spoiler raises.


Function over form I guess.

^^ The wing on that SLR is not stock, and is not the spoiler talked about in that quote. In the pictures, the spoiler is down (you can see there are two center brake lights).

Sat inside this thing a few years back, unless they've moved they were down in the SE (lake bonivista).

They are fucking SICK. Stupid fast, and tons of pull even at high speeds. Friend of mine had a black one with Brabus wheels, such a gorgeous car.

Just like this:

My bad, in the pictures the op posted it looks a lot like a wing, but comparing what you posted to the car spotted, I see you're right!

Quoted for truthfulness. Sweet car, terrible looks. Kind of like an ugly chick with a fit, trim body that you would date just to be able to take her for a ride.

I've driven the SLR at the track and on the streets, it's a perfect everyday car. One of my favorites.

Gotta find me a good one!
