Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss

1103-stirlingmossbenz_leadIntroduced at the Detroit Auto Show this year, the Stirling Moss will be the very last iteration of the McLaren SLR line. Its striking lines seem to illicit a love-it-or-hate-it reaction, but no one can argue that Mercedes-Benz didn’t come up with something unique as a send off to its flagship model. Not that you can buy one anyway – only 75 are planned for production and will only be offered to the most loyal of SLR customers. So what does 750,000 euros get you? In addition to the unique body and interior, each car comes with M-B’s bread-and-butter supercharged V8 pumping out 650 horsepower plus the ability to go 200+ mph without so much as a windshield protecting you from bugs at triple digit speeds. Sounds like a pretty good deal to us. Still can’t decide if the McLaren SLR Stirling Moss is your style? Mercedes-Benz has published a plethora of new photos of its €750,000 (approx $960,000) SLR Stirling Moss speedster that will be built in a limited run of 75 units. The SLR Stirling Moss comes with a 650-horsepower supercharged V8 engine that launches the car from standstill to 100 km/h (62mph) in less than 3.5 seconds, and on to a top speed of 350 km/h or 218 mph.
