The Detroit Auto Show is on going as you read this but in a private event a day before the show, Mercedes showed off the new Mclaren SLR Stirling Moss to a select group of journos. Only 75 of this final edition SLR will be built and all of them will be offered to current SLR owners. Choosing to go out with a bang, the SLR Stirling Moss SLR will be powered by the same supercharged 5.5-liter V8 as in other SLR’s but tuned to produced 650hp. Imagine 350km/h in a roof-less, windscreen-less car. Scary? Now imagine having that leather helmet Sir Wannabe Stirling Moss is wearing as your only protection. Got money? Got balls?

Its somewhat a race car. If you can afford it, you don't ask for practicality anymore. Don't ask about roofs. People buy Harleys, Ducatis , Aprilias not for roof over their head! Its for thrill. So this car is like a 4 wheels motorcycle. It looks pretty good in a hot wheels kind of way.

The Stirling Moss is built as a tribute to the legendary Merc 300 SL during the 50's-60's. Its a car that only true enthusiast will appreciate..if you get my drift.
