Mercedes SLR: McLaren Upgrades Supercar Icon! | Stig Laps | 4K

Here’s a blast from the past! Over 20 years ago the Mercedes SLR McLaren was hustled round the Top Gear Test Track by The Stig, but now McLaren’s special MSO division has been tinkering with it. There’s a freer-flowing exhaust, wider tracks, and a new High Downforce Kit (HDK, for short) with wings where there weren’t wings before. Can it go quicker, and by how much?
