Check out this promo from the LA Auto show. Pay attention to how the GTR engine is built and gaze at the electronic gauges that are almost stuff from Star Trek or the Space Shuttle. :)

Truly amazing video of a SLR McLaren versus the Carrera GT. Watch and be amazed…

From eMercedesBenz, this says it all…

What happens when you take the roughly $450,000 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, place it head-to-head against the roughly $480,000 Porsche Carrera GT, and record the entire encounter for legions of German car aficionados around the globe?

You get eight minutes of pure, unadulterated auto erotica.

Hit play, sit back and enjoy.
