  | Official: McLaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Official: McLaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss  A rough summarized translation of the article: In times where car industries are struggling to survive, it's a great surprise/relief that such car like the McLaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss can even exist. This will be the final series of the SLR supercar that McLaren will build in Woking. There will be 75 cars build of the Stirling Moss edition and manufacturing starts at June 2009, this means that in May 2009 the production of the SLR will be stopped. Just like the race car that Sir Stirling Moss drove, this car won't have windows or a roof. There is only 2 small windshields to protect the passengers from the involuntary meal of insects and sand & grind. The drive train is similar to the SLR, a V8 compressor with 650 HP and a top speed of 350 km/h (210 mph) and an acceleration of 3,5 seconds to 0-100 km/h. Just like the racing car of Stirling Moss, the doors and the doorstep will be quite high. To make entry a little easier, the wing doors will open towards the front. Once the car is parked, one can use the 2 covers to seal the interior. The covers are stored in the trunk. This is the final version of the Mercedes-Benz SLR. And this car is only available to the most loyal customers of the SLR supercar. Only they can place an orders for this striking monster.     Last edited by Choleric; 12-18-2008 at 07:43 PM.

| Re: Official: McLaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss The car looks menacing!  The interior of the car seem to have some similarities to the interior spyphoto's of the SLC car.  I also wonder if the headlights will similar as well, it seems the McLaren Mercedes Stirling Moss has LED's as well just like the SLC car.  |

| Re: Official: McLaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss the air dams on the front bumper remind me of the estoque. Glad to see some exciting cars being unveiled even through difficult times as the present. Gives me hope.

| Re: Official: McLaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Wow the SLR really goes out with a bang... This looks the part! Almost nothing reveals it's an SLR... It's just outlandish, I love it!! Can't wait to see more of the Monster... It's great to see MB having the passion again. They seem to be one of the most crazy carmaker it gives, without being a small one... I love that, Dr. Z. really restored MB's Mojo!!
