About McLaren SLR Stirling Moss

Harking back to the glory days of the Silver Arrow, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is a grand tourer car jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive that was sold from 2003 to 2009. SLR stands for "Sport Leicht Rennsport" (Sport Light Racing). The SLR Stirling Moss is a limited edition (75 vehicles) of the series, which incorporates a speedster styling that does not include roof or windscreen.

The SLR Stirling Moss features a 5.5-liter supercharged V8 from the 722 SLR, rated at 650 hp. Without a windshield, this roadster can hit a top speed of 217 mph.

It was to be the last series of the McLaren SLR built under the partnership between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren. All 75 cars were produced by December 2009. This magnificent vehicle represents the conclusion of the current SLR family, and is exclusively available to SLR owners.

In December 2010, more than a year after the SLR Stirling Moss was discontinued, McLaren announced its own final body version of the supercar. The 25-unit limited McLaren Edition is based on an earlier variant of the SLR, and includes revised bodywork (front and rear bumper, grille, top shell, side gills, rear diffuser, rims) and interior parts, along with upgraded steering and suspension components, and a new sports exhaust.
