Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss



Supercharged V8. 650 horsepower. 217 mph top speed. 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. Total production limited to 75 vehicles. $1 million plus price tag. NO WINDSHIELD.

Named after a famous driver, this SLR pays homage to the 1955 Mercedes-Benz SLR 300, which won some races I have never heard of before crashing at Le Mans and killing 83 people. That is not a very informative sentence, but I felt it was important to demonstrate that I can do rudimentary internet research by finding an article about the car from a website I have never visited before. I am not sure why.




UPDATE:

Here are some new pics from the North American International Auto Show. Disgustingly beautiful.
