SLR Stirling Moss
« on: December 20, 2008, 12:59:40 PM »
The last new version of the current Mercedes SLR will be the SLR Stirling Moss. It's named in honor of Sir Stirling's win in the 1955 Mille Miglia and will be debuted at the Detroit Auto Show.

The car has a carbon fiber body. Power comes from a 5.5 liter supercharged V8 with 650 hp. It will do 0 to 60 in 3.5 sec and tops out at 217 mph. The interior is mostly carbon fiber, aluminum & fine leather. It includes an aluminum plaque with Moss's signature engraved on it.

It doesn't have a windshield or top, only 2 small wind deflectors. Because of this, it won't be available in the US. It comes with two tonneau covers which can be stored in the trunk.

The price will be €750,000 ($1,040,624, £700,568). Only 75 will be built, and will only be offered to current SLR owners in Europe.


“You can search the world over for the finer things, but you won't find a match for the American road and the creatures that live on it.”
― Bob Dylan

Doesn't get much rain in the Arabia country's where I'd
imagine most will be heading to,now the sand in the face
might sting just a tad

I wonder if Moss gets one for letting them use his name
