Speaking of previous problems, one of the most criticized parts of earlier SLRs were its brakes. According to Richard Hammond of Top Gear, "It's not that they don't work--they do, but it's the way they do it: they are either on or off." Although the SLR's brakes are extremely powerful they are described as binary as if they were designed for panic stops at 200 mph.
