Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

This collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren is a technological wonder. The chart says 0-to-62 mph in 3.8 seconds and 0-to-124 mph in 10.9 seconds; however, it doesn't mention the basso profundo of the sidepipes or the supercharger's shrill shrieks, aural gratification that never lets up until, in the right conditions, the F1-inspired McLaren reaches 206 mph.

The skeleton of the car is a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque tub with a separate crash structure up front.
