Mercedes SLR McLaren Stirling Moss edition announced
Mercedes has revealed the final version of its SLR McLaren sports car, which will be named after Sir Stirling Moss, who drove for the team in the 1950s.
Just 75 examples of the Mercedes SLR McLaren Stirling Moss will be built. This most powerful version of the SLR, a joint production with McLaren, has 650bhp and a projected 0-100kph (62mph) time of 3.5 seconds. See below for more pictures of the car and the press release.
What is most striking about the car is its windowless, open-topped configuration which harks back to sports cars of old.
The SLR Stirling Moss has a top speed of 350kph (217mph) and will sell for €750,000 (£709,000). It goes into production in June next year.
Moss drove for Mercedes in 1955, famously winning the British Grand Prix at Aintree that year, though he never knew whether team mate Juan Manuel Fangio had gifted him the win.
