Mercedes Mclaren SLR Roadster
Like the coupé version, the new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster once again unites the legend of the successful SLR racing models from the 1950s with the innovative technology of modern Formula 1 vehicles from the Vodafone-McLaren-Mercedes team. Typical stylistic elements, such as the arrow-shaped tip of the Formula 1 Silver Arrow, establish a visual link with the racing cars. The SLR leg-end of the 50s lives on stylistically in the distinctive lateral louvers, side pipes behind the front wheels and the wide-opening gullwing doors.
The new Roadster benefits technically from the many years of experience of Mercedes-Benz and its Formula 1 partner McLaren. Apart from two aluminium engine frames, its body is made entirely of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) materials, making the vehicle an exception among high-performance sports cars. Especially for the Roadster, complex carbon-fibre technology has been intelligently further developed for the monocoque chassis. The result is low weight, exemplary energy absorption and, therefore, extremely high occupant safety as well as a degree of torsional stiffness hitherto unattained in open-top vehicles. This leads to outstanding ride characteristics of the kind otherwise found only in closed-top super sports cars.

Mercedes Benz S550
For 2007, the S-class lineup has been simplified. No more short- and long-wheelbase cars, just the 124.6-inch edition, 3.1 inches more majestic than its predecessor. The lineup now comprises the S550 tested here, whose $86,175 base price is actually $1650 shy of its S500 forebear’s, followed in April by a 510-horse V-12 S600, with a sticker close to $130,000. An all-wheel-drive S550 4MATIC should arrive in November, and the inevitable AMG variants will manifest when AMG and every F1 driver on the planet are damn well ready.
Apart from the S550′s swollen fender haunches—reminiscent of those hockey-puck shoulder pads that Larry King jams into his suits—what you notice first about this car is its seats. Really. They’re sumptuous without being saggy and offer 14-way “multicontour” adjustments that can even change the distance the cushion extends beneath your thighs, and there are optional multilevel fans blowing cold or hot winds up your keister, and there are side bolsters that suddenly stiffen in reaction to cornering forces, and there are center lumbar chambers that expand and contract to change your position twice per minute, and there’s even a vigorous Magic Fingers option that feels like small pine logs rolling slowly down the sluice way that is your spine. We drove this S550 from Manhattan to Ann Arbor, stopping only to replenish 23.8 gallons of premium unleaded, and felt as if we should have continued on to Iowa. Similar praise can be heaped on the vast and comfy rear chairs, where you can tuck your loafers beneath the tall front seats, spread out, and fully open the Times’ Arts & Leisure section. These new seats are so good that they bear the seal of approval of the Aktion Gesunder Rücken, which is either a German outfit that rates products for spine-friendliness or a bunch of guys who look for life forms under rocks.
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder – Red
The Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is a fast, sleek, and versatile piece of machinery. Introduced in 2006, the car is still one of Lamborghini’s best selling models. This vehicle will make heads turn everywhere you go. Whether it is down Ocean Drive in South Beach or whizzing down Alligator Alley, the feeling is unprecedented and the growling of the exhaust will put a smile on your face that will be tough to get rid of. Our Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is best described in one word “stunning.” You will not find another rental vehicle with the same color combo or with the custom add-ons that have made this beast better than the rest.
Features Include: Custom Painted wheels, Custom Exhaust System, Custom Radio System, SD Card MP3 Player and Backup Camera, GPS Navigation, E-Gear Semi – Automatic Transmission, K40 Calibre Radar Laser Jammer, Bluetooth Handsfree, Ipod Connection, XM Radio, Xenon Headlights, Heated Power Seats

Standard equipment includes a leather interior with Alcantara headliner and real aluminum trim, 10-way power adjustable seats, automatic climate control, AM/FM/6CD stereo, trip computer, halogen projector headlights, LED tail lights, an alarm, and seven-spoke 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels. Safety features include front and side-impact airbags, traction control, ABS and a sophisticated electronic stability system.
Features Include: Navigation, Bluetooth Hands Free
Mercedes SL55 AMG
With the SL55 AMG, Mercedes has taken its legendary roadster and injected it with a major dose of horsepower that elevates it to near supercar status. With nearly 500 horsepower emanating from its supercharged V8, this drop top can outdo most sports cars in a straight line, yet it’s still docile enough to go for a top-down Sunday drive. The ridiculously powerful SL65 AMG might overshadow the SL55 in the minds of some buyers, but unless you have regular access to roads resembling the German autobahn, the real-world performance difference will go unnoticed 95 percent of the time. If you’re looking for the ultimate combination of open-air fun and unparalleled performance, the SL55 satisfies in ways few other cars can.
