Dieter Zetsche chairman of DaimlerChrysler, said the company was investigating small production runs of the SLR with different bodystyles. 'We could do 50-100 cars with certain attributes' he told Whatcar?, hinting a roadster version could be in the cards.


Powered by a 626bhp V8, the SLR can reach 208mph and can run 0 -60 in 3.8 seconds. A smaller, cheaper SLR is rumored to be in development to compete with the Ferrari F430 and Porsche 911 Turbo.
