What you are looking in here sometime used to be a SLR. We can’t give you more details about what really happened in here, but you can imagine just by watching the pictures!
The crash happened in Qatar and the owner of the car was only 22 years old (I say was cause just by looking at the car you can imagine he didn’t survive). He was driving extremely and he lost control of his car. The result... what you see in the images.
If you have more details about this, please let us know!

Even if the SLR McLaren is in its final months of life, a black-mate supercar is something will always come into our attention. And so is this SLR spotted on the streets of London!

As you know the SLR Roadster will be the final collaboration between Mercedes and McLaren. And today Mercedes confirmed it: "The partnership ends in 2009 and it will not be renewed."
The SLR will be replaced by a new flagship premium roadster called the SLC that will debut in 2010 and will be built Mercedes’ in-house performance unit AMG at the automaker’s Sindelfingen plant, near Stuttgart, Germany.
Couchman said the SLR’s high price limited sales. The car starts at 452,200 euros in Germany. Mercedes has sold 1,577 SLRs worldwide since the car’s launch in 2003, according to Global Insight.
The car has also suffered from technical problems. The SLR was one of the models affected in a recall of 680,000 Mercedes cars in 2004, after the electronic braking system failed on some vehicles.
In 2006, Mercedes-Benz USA recalled 433 SLRs that had developed overheating problems.
Codenamed Z119, the supercar features no windscreen, the only protection from the elements being a tiny pair of aero-screens in front of the driver and passenger.
The car is based on the SLR Roadster’s chassis and offers an exceptional rigidity thanks to the extensive use of carbon-fibre in the car’s construction.
We first told you about a limited edition SLR back in May. Today, Auto Motor Und Sport revealed more details about this exclusive edition. The car will be built to "celebrate" SLR’s end of life and will be limited to only 75 units.

We do not know if this is a joke or not, but it looks to good to be ignored! According to AutoGespot there will be a new model from Mercedes, something like a final SLR. It will be limited to only 75 units and will have the same price as a Veyron.
The car is a modern interpretation of the car which Stirling Moss driven in the Mille Miglia with two small frontwindows and a little bit of SLR-flavour. It will have no roof at all, so it’s not going to be a targa and it’s not going to be a convertible.
The car is supposed to be unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. First delivers will be made in the summer of 2009.
