A mate of mine emailed these pictures to me of a Mercedes Assembly Plant. I don't know if any of you have seen these pictures before. Please remember that thay have to be cleared by Admin first for viewing. There are 8 pictures in total.
Enjoy.

in the voice of Schultz from Hogans Hero's > I see nothing, nothing !

[Damian]

They have to be approved by Admin first to make sure that the pictures are OK to be displayed on the forum. It may take a while.

Damien, fantastic pics. What a car. Brutal and fast, but with a futuristic air about them.
Thanks for sharing!

[Damian]

No Worries Andrew. I got no idea on the location of the factory or the type of car.
Maybe some of the forum members might be able to help out.

Gosh, that's a very nice factory. The old production line has changed a quite bit since the days of Henry and his Model T.

Talk about a sterile environment.....sheeesh !!

[ferrari fan]

Not a mark on the tiles!!
Must be somewhere in stuttgard in the Ruhrgebied for sure!
I would be suppriesed if this was the SanYuong factory!
Maybe this is in the new McLaren factory, as the decor is outta the world, just unbelievable.

I think it's the 'Paragon' facility. McLaren have combined all of their different arms (F1, road car, electronics etc) into one huge facility. I believe it was opened not long ago by the Queen with almost every surviving McLaren driver past and present, in attendance.

[Mclaren]

Yes it's at the new Mclaren factory callec Paragon.

Mclaren Technology Centre

Its Paragon. On the McLaren theres a 10 minute vid of Kimi doing a siemens promo and taking a tour of the facility. It looks amazing.

Thankyou for the infomation everyone. It certainly is a unique car. Toecutter, great pictures.

Awesome pics !!

[jager]

The July edition of 'CAR' magazine has a good back to back comparision of the McLaren SLR, Porsche Carrera and the Ferrari Enzo.

CAR's editors weren't that impressed with the McLaren and said it "didn't have the composed ride, handling, steering and braking needed to make it a winner". Ouch !

[Richard Poole]

And they rated the Enzo the easiest to live with which was surprising (apparently the clutch on the Porsche is a bit like a switch, on or off).

McLaren are apparently already developing new suspension settings to improve the ride and handling.

What an amazing factory. That place is cleaner than our office and they're building cars:D

WOW!!! Amazing photos guys thanks for sharing. That is one awesome looking car. You could eat off that floor!
toecutter thanks for showing me that car in black (my fav colour) now I have to have a model of it!

I see it is being made in 1/43:

and

How come both companies are making this car? Added to my watchlist anyway :)

Will this be made in 1/18?

[wayno]

It certainly is an amazing facility. The last edition of 'Racing Line' (the official McLaren team magazine) had a big article on the new facility and it is just simply stunning.

Goldie.....CMC make the car in 1:18 with real leather interior. Prices are what you would expect from arguably one of the world's premier model car companies. I'm sure it comes in 1:12 also......even more money.

Great pics guys................hey Toecutter where is the pic of you doing the burnout in it....HEHEHEHEHEHE.

How do you rate the car please?


Cheers,

Timbo.
