Car of the Year
McLaren SLR Roadster
£320,405
All that pooled talent in F1 prompted Mercedes and McLaren to hook up to build the SLR bionic car, first as a coupe, now as a roadster. The V8 behemoth somehow makes more sense without a roof.
Strengths: You mean other that the fact it's got 626 horsepower and will reach 60mph in less than four secs? The noise is heart-melting for one, and you'll be friends with people like Jay Leno.
Weaknesses: A flawed concept from the start, and you don't want flaws when you're paying £320,405. It ain't pretty either, but you'd forgive that if it staggered you with its road talent. Sadly, it doesn't.
