The maximum speed of the Roadster will remain at 332 km/h or 207 mph same as that of the coupe. The new Roadster will be powered by same AMG V8 compressor engine as the McLaren coupe producing 617 bhp, and uses the same AMG Speedshift R five-speed automatic transmission that will enable the Roadster to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in a matter of 3.2 seconds. This will provide the upcoming super sports car roadster with a combination of racing type chassis coupled with outstanding ride characteristics. And in keeping with the Formula 1 vehicles of today the German division of DaimlerChrysler will employ carbon fiber.
