2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren Stirling Moss for sale

Overview of this 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren Stirling Moss for sale

The Mercedes-Benz Mclaren SLR was born as a result of Mercedes’s and Mclaren’s cooperation in formula one. Back in the early 2000’s, and together with its rivals from Porsche with the Carrera GT, and Ferrari with the Enzo, they constitued the holy trinity. The SLR, for Sport Leicht Rennsport, was built out of the most exotic materials, such as carbon fibre and aluminum. It reached speeds of well over 300 km/h in a matter of seconds, transporting its two passengers and their luggage in all the comfort one expects from a supertourer.

But the SLR Mclaren Stirling Moss wasn’t meant to be a profitable project, its main purpose was to celebrate history, racing, and art.

The SLR Stirling Moss was able to achieve speeds of 354 km/h, while its engine remained the same as the one which powers the very rare and desirable SLR 722 Edition, outputting 641 bhp. The Stirling Moss was also much lighter, a whole 200kg lighter, mainly achieved by the speedster bodywork and the extensive use of carbon fibre. As Car Magazine put it so well, a full throttle acceleration feels like „standing on the wingtip of a Boeing 747“.

Presented in virtually new condition, the Stirling Moss comes with all its original equipment, such as the goggles and helmets, tonneau covers for the seats, leather hats, tools, etc.

In a time when limited edition means a car is produced at 1.000 examples, at only 75 cars ever made, the Stirling Moss is a true limited edition, with only 75 lucky loyal customers selected to acquire these cars.
