Geneva 2009: Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss

The McLaren SLR Stirling Moss is the last SLR which will leave the factory in the British township of Woking. It's also the most extreme SLR so far. Forget the 722, this Stirling Moss is way better! Only 75 cars will be made so you're sure to own a very unique and rare super car. We noticed it in Geneva on the motor show and thought we'd share these photos!

Engine-wise Mercedes-Benz and McLaren installed a V8 which delivers 650 bhp. This gives the car a top speed of 350 kilometers per hour. Not to be tried out in Holland of course, you would loose your license for it. Thankfully, the German autobahn isn't too far away. Holland will get one or two Stirling Moss SLRs, who the owners are will not be published. McLaren and Mercedes-Benz tried to make a modern interpretation of the old 300 SLR which raced (and won) the 1955 Mille Miglia.
