McLaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Edition

The 2009 McLaren SLR Stirling Moss will officially make its debut at the Detroit Auto Show next month, but Mercedes decided to tease us with these shimmering photos of the last of the Mercedes-McLaren partnership. Designed with Stirling Moss’ 1955 300 SLR racer in mind, the 2009 SLR Stirling Moss kicks it up a notch.

Based on the SLR Roadster, the Stirling Moss features carbon fiber bodywork wrapping an SLR722-supplied 650-hp supercharged 5.5-liter V8 mated to a five-speed auto. As with the SLR722, the Stirling Moss can reach a top speed of 217 mph and will reach 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.

The roofless Stirling Moss features smaller "swing-doors" with a two-piece tonneau cover that can cover either the entire cockpit or just the passenger side. A retractable air brake, like the one on the Veyron, automatically deploys during hard braking from speeds above 75mph.

The 2009 Mercedes McLaren SLR Stirling Moss is limited to just 75 units. The cost of entry into this exclusive club will run you just north of $1,100,000, putting it just a bit out of our price range. We may not be able to afford it, but we’ll have live shots for you next month from the Detroit Auto Show

it's supposed to be a sort of reincarnation of the mercedes 300SLR which won the famous millie miglia in record time in 1955...driven by F1 legend stirling moss of course...

217 mph and no windscreen, yup that will be fun!

the upward hump in front of the driver should minimize the airflow to the cabin...as it is the case with most trackday cars the driver will have to wear a helmet or atleast a pair of racing goggles
