The fiends at McLaren-Mercedes have rolled out some footage of the super sweet SLR Stirling Moss ripping it up on a test track. The $1 million roadster is powered by 650 horsepower, supercharged V8 – good enough to dart to 60 in 3.5 seconds on its way to a 217 mph top speed. Did we [...]
I. In case your Murcielago doesn’t look enough like Kitt from Night Rider, Prindville Prestige has your solution. Decked in satin grey paint, more vents, a chunky rear diffuser, and some serious throwback grille slats, this is ’80s your Lamborghini was missing. Prindville also re-did the exhaust, which is about the only part of the [...]
Sad but true, Fiends. We can’t say we’re too surprised to hear the no roof, no windscreen, $1 million speedster isn’t coming our way. That doesn’t make it any less of a shame though. The SLR Stirling Moss was created to celebrate one of the greats of racing and was engineered with the singular goal [...]
Late yesterday the Web lit up with a few grainy images and sketchy details on the McLaren-Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss. Today, Daimler’s been kind enough to supply the world with solid details and plenty of stellar pics to drool on. All the rumors seem to be true, including the 650 horsepower, supercharged V8, the 3.5 [...]
The boys at Hamann have a way of turning perfectly good cars into insanely lethal road warriors. Their most recent endeavor involves the Mercedes-McLaren SLR, and they’ve christened it the Volcano. The name likely comes from the car’s explosive eruption of power, as Hamann typically manages to coax extra ponies out of an already potent [...]
If you’ve ever wondered where all your money goes once you fill up your tank, stop wondering. You’re looking at it in the form of a solid chrome Mercedes-McLaren SLR found parked outside of the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai. That would be the same oil-soaked country that’s flush with all kinds of tasteful, [...]
We know what your Monday needs — a little taste of a 680 horse German assassin! Over the jump we’ve got some rolling vid of the Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR 722 GT, complete with the snarling song of the supercharged 5.5-liter V8. That massive motor is good for an Enzo-like sub 3.3-second run to 60 from [...]
Why? Because the very last drop head McLaren SLR roadster to ever be produced is headed for the good ol’ U.S. of A., which means that some filthy stinking rich lucky individual over here could own a piece of history. It probably won’t be us. You know, the garage is full as it is and [...]
Mercedes-Benz’s SLR Roadster has to be one of the best-looking vehicles on the planet. With its lunging-mercury nose, shark-gill side vents and low-rake windscreen, this Brit-German drop topper is what I’d drive if I had hundred dollar bills oozing out my ears, among other orifices. McLaren has turned its wrenches on the lusty lady in [...]
The following probably makes me weirder than you, but it also explains a lot: I’m really puzzled as to how the McMerc SLR will be remembered. It’s an insanely potent beast, essentially exactly as quick as the already historic and lust-worthy Porsche Carerra GT. In fact, according to the Stig, the McMerc is actually quicker [...]
