Why is the Mercedes SLR called McLaren?

When the car was developed, Mercedes-Benz owned 40 percent of the McLaren Group and the car was produced in conjunction between the two companies. SLR is an abbreviation for “Sport Leicht Rennsport” (Sport Light Racing), a homage to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR which served as the car’s inspiration.

Which is better the SLS or the SL 65?

The SL 65 is more “domestic” car than the SLS and I think it would be more logical to exchange engines. Yes, these cars could have the same power and torque as in Golf GTD to use them only in towns. But these AMGs are quite unpractical and it’s Mercedes – these cars would cost quite a lot of money even with terrible engines.
