Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss Pictures Galore

After more than two months since the company unveiled the SLR Stirling Moss, Mercedes finally decided to provide more pictures showing this exclusive models. To refresh your memory, the SRL Stirling Moss will reach mass production in June 2009, one month after the company discontinues the SLR Roadster.

The company will produce only 75 units of the car, Mercedes said in a statement published in mid-December. In addition, the German automaker already announced the limited production is scheduled to end in December 2009.

“This extreme concept makes the new high-performance sports car a legitimate bearer of the name of the British motor racing legend and Mille Miglia record-holder Stirling Moss, who drove the legendary Mercedes-Benz SLR racing cars from victory to victory in 1955,” Mercedes said in a statement released to the press.

The SLR Stirling Moss will be powered by a V8 compressor engine that produces a maximum power of 650 hp, with a 0-100 km/h sprint done in 3.5 seconds. Maximum speed is rated at 350 km/h (around 217.5 mph). The limited edition model will be available for a selected number of McLaren SLR clients, with each unit to be sold at a shocking price of 750,000 euros.

“The core values of both the historical and the present-day SLR models include an exciting new design, innovative technology, high-class materials displaying perfect craftsmanship, and, above all: a unique driving experience for all the senses,” Mercedes reviewed some of the most important attributes of the newly-announced car.
