Mercedes-Benz
McLaren SLR Stirling Moss
The
Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss is the final swan son for the SLR
supercar. The SLR Stirling Moss is a limited edition version strictly limited
to 75 units.
The
equipment of the SLR Stirling Moss is extremely sophisticated and yet at the
same time decidedly Spartan, doing without both a roof and side windows. There
are just two wind deflectors a couple of centimetres in height to protect the
driver and passenger from the airflow. Two air scoops integrated into the
carbon fibre bodywork serve as roll-over bars.
The
SLR Stirling Moss sports an exciting, pronounced arrow-shaped form and is
characterised by an elongated bonnet and a compact, muscular rear. As there is
no windscreen, the exterior and interior flow smoothly into one. The bonnet
also stretches from its striking tip right down into the interior, giving the
vehicle body a distinctly sleek and purposeful appearance. In case of bad
weather the vehicle can be closed by two tonneau covers which are carried in
the trunk.
Powered
by a front mounted 5439 cc supercharged V8 which develops 650 horsepower, the
SLR Stirling Moss can reach 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, on its way to a top
speed of 217 mph.
Thanks
to the high-precision work carried out in the wind tunnel, the SLR Stirling
Moss always generates sufficient downforce for extremely safe handling. But the
driver can also manually operate the AIRBRAKE in order to increase the contact
pressure further.
