Mercedes-Benz will end production of its McLaren SLR supercars with a limited run of SLR Stirling Moss Editions. Just 75 of these limited edition cars will ever be built. They differ highly form the regular SLR in that this limited edition car boasts a completely redesign body.

Design to be a “Speedster” type car, the Stirling Moss SLR does without a roof, or even a windshield for that matter, in favor of two little screens barely a few inches above the bonnet. A helmet, or at least some goggles, is highly recommended. The car also features prominent ventilation gills on the hood and side fenders paying homage to the car piloted by the man himself, British driving legend Sir Stirling Moss. Inside, leather and suede are joined by flannel cloth reminisantof the type used in Moss’s actual race car.

Dont think that removing the roof would constitute a reduction in power. Oh no, this car sports the exact same 650hp supercharged V8 which powers the regular SLR’s.  As you would expect performance is breathtaking. The benchmark 0-60mph run gets dispensed with in a mere 3.5 seconds. The SLR Stirling Moss will then power its way to a top speed of 217mph. Could you imagine going that fast without a windshield?!?!

Of course all this performance and exclusivity come at a price. That price is a cool $1.04 million dollars.  Production will start at the end of June after the final run of SLR’s is built. This should prove to be Mercedes-Benz’s ultimate swan-song.
