Rep Power: 7  |  Mercedes Benz SLR Stirling Moss Just look at this beauty, yes it’s a Mercedes, and it’s the Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss, which can accelerate from 0-62 mph in just a short span of 3.5 seconds. You may think that there are faster cars such as the Ferrari Enzo, but the beauty about the Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss is that it reaches its speed of 62 mpf in 3.5 seconds without its roof, windows and windshield. Impressive hey!  |

Rep Power: 3  | Whoa !!! Nice find Preeti. it looks like its just out from a bond film. Some bond gal dropped it here. I couldnt help but look up some more info about it on the net. Here goes : Powered by the same 650 horsepower supercharged V8 as the regular SLR 722, the car is constructed almost entirely of carbon fiber, making it good for a zero to 60 time of just 3.5 seconds, and a zero to 186 mph sprint of 26 seconds. Capable of achieving 217 mph, the Stirling Moss has vertical doors, a deployable air brake, and a manually operated tonneau cover that can cover the entire cabin, or just the passenger side.  The special edition car is the last model to come out of the Mercedes-McLaren partnership, which is all but over. With the SLR about to be discontinued, the Stirling Moss model will allow the nameplate to go out with a bang. Think of it as one final hurrah for the SLR before it’s succeeded by the all-new SLC. So Pricing is expected to be in excess of €750,000, and production will be limited to just 75 units. The vehicle is named in honor of Sir Stirling Craufurd Moss, 79, a retired racing driver who competed for Mercedes-Benz, Maserati, and Lotus, among others. |
