Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss
Ultimate open-top SLR marks the end of Mercedes' supercar in style
Mercedes' SLR is going out in style! This is the SLR Stirling Moss – a stunning supercar that pays homage both to one of Mercedes' most successful professionaldrivers and a racing car that's become synonymous with him – the 300SLR.
The final model to comefrom Mercedes' partnership with Formula One team McLaren the Stirling Moss has no roof or windscreen – instead it gets simple aero screens above the dashboard. The carbon fibre bodywork is entirely new, with a central bar that splits the cabin into two distinctcockpits. Inside, eachmodel gets a metal plate engraved with Moss’s signature.
Underthe bonnet is the same 640bhp 5.4-litre supercharged V8 as the standardSLR which punches the Stirling Moss from 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds andonto 217mph. Just 75 cars will be produced, and theywill only be made available to a hand-picked group of clients who arealready SLR owners. Each will cost £591,000.
