With Mercedes and McLaren devorcing next year, the end of the production of the SLR announced and lot’s of rumours around a new super Mercedes, it’s more than likely that McLaren on itself will come forward with a new car. Mclaren has been very secretive around the project, codenamde P11, which will be in the showrooms by March 2010 as a coupé and about 2 years later as a spyder version.

The new mid-engined car will directly compete with the Ferrari F430 although the McLaren will be lighter and more compact. Power is said to come close to 550 bhp produced by a V8 engine, which will be produced in England.

Our source at Autoblog found out that Mercedes-Benz is planning to buy share in McLaren. When they asked for verification they simply got the answer: ”No comment”. Daimler has already 40 % in his hands, the onther 60 % are shared between team principal Ron Dennis and his Saudi business partner Mansour Ojjeh (at 15% each) and Bahraini holding company Mumtalakat, to which Dennis and Ojjeh sold 30% last year. Daimler therefore has the largest interest in McLaren, but if it wanted to take complete control it would have to negotiate with the three other shareholders, or else take controlling interest of 55 or 70% by buying out either Dennis, Ojjeh or the Bahraini partners.

About two weeks ago we opened a poll, in our forum, to find out what the supercar of the year 2007 would be. To clear out any possible misunderstanding, all supercars that firstly hit the road as well as the supercars shown in worldpremière to the public during 2007 on numurous car shows, were elected. The 10th option was ‘other cars’ because the list of stunning cars was just too long to get in one poll, thinking of the Porsche 911 GT2 and the Aston Martin DBS.

The winner clearly became the on a fighter jet based Lamborghini Reventón, with about 21.5% of the votes. The second place was for the other Italian supercar, the Ferrari F430 Scuderia. The top-three was closed with the Mclaren Mercedes SLR-Roadster. After the jump you can find the complete top 10.

After a very long first day at the IAA 2007 we can present you a couple of our highlights and must see supercars if you plan to visit the Frankfurt Motorshow in the next two weeks.

Starting with the first manufacturer we visited this morning: Mercedes. The Mercedes exhibition area is huge and it has a few tricks up it’s sleeves, out there are a couple hidden treasures you don’t want to miss!

The first one is the new McLaren-Mercedes SLR Roadster, this convertible version of the McLaren SLR has a topspeed of 322 km/h produced by the same 626 bhp engine used in the non-topless SLR.

Not far from the SLR Roadster we found the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series. This AMG model based on the F1 Safety Car was presented on the New York International Auto Show in April of this year. The AMG powered V8 produces 507 bhp, enough for a 13,8 second sprint from zero to 200 km/h. The topspeed is limited to 300 km/h.

Another instant classic not to be missed is the new Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Ferrari 430 Scuderia. A faster, lighter and racier version of the Ferrari F430.

Then last but definatly not least three cars we already told you about: The Aston Martin DBS, the new Audi RS6, the new Lamborghini Reventón and the Porsche 997 GT2!

Tomorrow we will pay BMW a visit and look for exotic new concept cars in unexpected areas of the IAA 2007! For the latest photos visit the IAA 2007 gallery or tune in to our IAA 2007 Forum to discuss your favorite car of this years Frankfurt Auto Show!
