Video: Mercedes Mclaren SLR Stirling Moss
December 23, 2008
Mercedes has released a new video showing the SLR Stirling Moss ahead of its debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
This super-special-edition SLR is powered by a supercharged V8 producing an astonishing 650 hp allowing the roadster to run from 0-100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 350 km/h. Engineers worked extensively on the SLR’s body with a goal of keeping the historical design while increasing downforce.
Inspired by the original 1950’s Mercedes 300 SLR and its legendary driver Sir Stirling Moss, the new SLR bares a striking resemblance to the classic racer. In order to create the remarkable appearance Mercedes chose not to add a roof, side windows, and a windshield. The company also designed two integrated air scoops that also serve as roll-over bars which gives the SLR a unique appearance and signals its racing pedigree.
Only 75 units of the €750,000 SLR Stirling Moss will be produced starting in June 2009, when the last one is built it will mark the end of production of the Mercedes-McLaren SLR.
