It is legal in some juridictions provided the driver and the passenger wear a helmet at all times. Which begs the question:

Why bother?

I'm showing my age here. Please don't rub it in.

But the SLR extreme roadster looks a lot like the Ferrari Pinifarina Rossa concept car from a decade ago. Ferrari fans are going to have a field day about McLaren espionage....................................

Looks like something from another planet or at least something driven by racecar drivers 60+ years ago. This is going to be a stunner and proper send off to the SLR. Here I was thinking they'd bring back the coupe and give it a facelift, NOT.
