Just curious! How did you figure out that it is a SLR? I could not find it mentioned anywhere in the news.

kooldude · 3rd May 2005, 14:41

It is a 3 car accident involving Mercedes Benz, VW Golf and Ford Mondeo. Where is the super car?

The nose and headlights....if the headlights had gone too, it could have been the SLK....correct me if i'm wrong!

Luckily, all three drivers have survived! For sure it wouldnt have been a low-speed crash...Safer cars and the use of seatbelts...Nice post Ajmat!

First

Look at the engine and count the manifolds - theres plenty of space around to play "ring a ring a roses". if it was an SLK, it would be a tight fit

Second

Look at the drivers mirror design

Third

The offset number plate

Four

The car is made of carbon fibre and is stiff and does not crumple unlike metal
