The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss is a car that breaks all the rules, and that’s exactly what makes it special. Created as a tribute to Sir Stirling Moss’ record-setting victory at the 1955 Mille Miglia, this speedster was the ultimate send-off for the SLR McLaren lineup. Only 75 were ever made, and they were reserved for the most dedicated Mercedes-Benz customers. What makes it truly outrageous is its design – no roof, no windshield, just pure open-air performance, the way racing legends experienced it decades ago.
At its core, the Stirling Moss edition is all about speed. The body is made entirely of carbon fiber, shaving off 200 pounds compared to the standard SLR. Under the hood, a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 produces a monstrous 650 horsepower, sending this lightweight beast from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds. With a top speed of 217 mph, it’s faster than the original SLR McLaren, and with no windshield to protect you, driving at those speeds is not for the faint of heart. It’s an experience that blurs the line between road car and race car, delivering raw, unfiltered performance.
Every design detail pays homage to the classic Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR race car. The elongated body, side-exit exhausts, and aggressive aerodynamics all scream motorsport heritage. The interior is stripped down to essentials, yet still exudes luxury with fine materials and impeccable craftsmanship. There’s no unnecessary tech or gimmicks – just a machine built for driving in its purest form.
One of the rarest examples of this incredible machine is now up for sale in Munich. Finished in a stunning black exterior over a red and black interior, it’s believed to be one of only three in this color combination. Even more astonishing is its condition—it has remained with its original owner and has just 161 kilometers on the odometer, making it practically brand new. A car like this is already a collector’s dream, but finding one in such pristine condition is almost unheard of.
For those who want to own one of the most exclusive and exhilarating Mercedes-Benz models ever made, this is an opportunity that doesn’t come around often. With the possibility for export, it’s a chance to bring home a true piece of automotive history – one that embodies speed, legacy, and a fearless approach to design.
