The Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss
A reminiscence of the SLR racing cars that founded the legend of the Silver Arrows and a tribute to Sir Stirling Moss: the Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss combines spectacular design with the most sophisticated technology and offers a unique driving experience for all the senses. The model, limited to 75 units, is a high-calibre classic for gentleman sportsmen and enthusiasts. Even the newly developed shape of the SLR Stirling Moss conveys tremendous dynamism. The elongated bonnet, the vehicle body that visually merges into the interior and the compact, muscular rear end allude to the SLR legend, as do the elongated bonnets with integrated roll bars behind the headrests, the facetted, black-painted ventilation grilles on the side and on the bonnet. Very high side skirts, the powerfully contoured wings and the front-opening gullwing doors complete the emotionally charged aesthetics of the SLR Stirling Moss. The vehicle can be closed with carbon fibre covers - the so-called tonneau covers. When both tonneau covers and the doors are closed, the SLR Stirling Moss looks like a sculpture. The SLR Stirling Moss has also inherited the best technical genes of the SLR family and benefits from Mercedes-Benz's many years of experience. The carbon-fibre body, the newly developed monocoque, the feather-light kerb weight of 1,551 kg and the outstanding aerodynamics and safety of the SLR Stirling Moss ensure unbridled driving pleasure. The combination of new technology and historic class is beyond any doubt. The SLR Stirling Moss draws its impressive output of 478 kW/650 hp from the AMG 5.5-litre supercharged V8 engine with a maximum torque of 820 Newton metres, which accelerates the purist high-performance sports car to a top speed of 350 km/h. Acute amazement and speechlessness probably best describe the reactions when you step in front of the face of the SLR Stirling Moss. A closed underbody in conjunction with a massive diffuser provides the necessary downforce and thus dynamic, sporty driving pleasure. The interior is designed to be as puristic as the exterior: The interior is reduced to the essentials. Valuable materials used in the interior emphasise the unique character of the SLR Stirling Moss. Below the gear knob, the engraved signature of the namesake in aluminium also refers to the man who turned this vehicle into a classic. A body shape which, while respecting historical elements such as the carbon-fibre scoops, gives the impression of being designed from a single mould, reflects the perfectly staged symbiosis of nostalgic racing and contemporary super sports car design. Ten years before models such as the Aston Martin V12 Speedster, the McLaren Elva and the Ferrari Monza ensured that collectors simply couldn't pass up the chance to park them in their garages, Mercedes stunned the world with the incomparable SLR Stirling Moss. Developed as a brilliant final chord in the collaboration between Mercedes and McLaren, it was a rare tribute to Stirling Moss' triumph at the wheel of his 300 SLR at the 1955 Mille Miglia. Thanks to the lack of a roof and the generous use of carbon fibre, each example of this special edition was an impressive 200 kilos lighter than the standard SLR. This SLR is therefore also the ultimate tribute to its legendary predecessor. Like the McLaren F1 and all subsequent McLaren models, the SLR consists of a bonded carbon fibre monocoque. Along with the monocoque, McLaren developed a carbon fibre front crash structure that is bolted to the SLR's aluminium engine mounts. The Stirling Moss is the first road car to feature this innovation from Formula 1. The body, doors and bonnet of the SLR are also made of carbon fibre.
