McLaren SLR Stirling Moss: More images!
Stuttgart-based Mercedes Benz has revealed more images of the McLaren SLR Stirling Moss which was the last vehicle produced from the partnership between McLaren and Mercedes. Named after the great racing legend, the SLR Stirling Moss is powered by a supercharged 5.5 liter V8 which is good for a total of 650HP.
With a 5 speed automatic transmission from the SLR 722, it can hit the 100 km/h mark in just 3.5 seconds and can deliver a top speed of 349 km/h despite not having a wind screen. It comes with a two-piece cover that can cover the entire cockpit. Continue reading to view an image gallery.

Is it street legal since it does not have a wind screen? at first glance, it reminds me of the monoque F1 cars of the 1950’s, Juan Fangio’s time, the Mercedes Benz W196. Like a modern reincarnation

Impressive? Still can reach 349km/h without the present of the windshield!

not sure about this car, but the new convertible bmw E92’s, the aircon will still come on when the top is down, depending on the outside temperature.

I read 2 full pages about this on TopGear Malaysia mag. Awesome.
For me it doesn’t look awkward at all. Since it’s have plenty of old 350 SLR styling cues.
