Default Another Enzo bites the dust

And the winner is… The Mercedes SLK! ‘What the …’ will most of you think. But it’s no ordinary Mercedes SLK. Middle Eastern rally driver Mohamed Bin Sulayem figured his normal supercars were not very practical in Dubai’s busy streets but the small SLK lacked a lot of power. That’s why he fitted the SLK with a 617 bhp McLaren SLR engine. This video shows how amazingly fast the ‘tuned’ SLK is compared to one and only streetlegal Ferrari bullet. (Courtesy of GTSPIRT.COM)
SLK vs Enzo

One thing how much would the SLK cost now? $460k+ US

Mohamed Bin Sulayem, is insane... all he does is spend money on cars.

He has a pretty impressive car collection.

He supposably has a 740hp Toyota Land Cruiser

Saw pics of the SLK posted on CL over a year ago, but this is the first I've seen of this video!

I remember when the pics first surfaced of the SLK....a LOT of people were convinced it was a photochop. Well, this finally lays that to rest!
