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 litre 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.

nice but they should have front window screen… thats why it luks so awkward…
Look awkward is one thing…with supercharged 5.5 liter V8 worth 650 hp and top speed 349kmh…just cruising at 100kmh and the wind straight to your face…what it will be looked like. mata berair la…haha. handsome car…but when the car moves, not so handsome driver la…
wear a helmet la, not so hard to figure out.
Err i wonder where to go without front windscreen?
awesome! twin cockpit bat-mobile…
not having a windshield is what makes it special..
This car is make for eyes to see, cant tough with hands T_T
if dun wear helmet bukan saja the wind hentam muka, the bugs also will enter your mulut and lobang hidung.. hnsss hnsss.. pahit beb rasa dia..
it is really mad ..
looks like veritas
still prefer the ariel atom ..
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
damn hot!
If hujan sure the worst car ever.. Muahahahaha…
i like the current slr better…
it looks odd…
with enzo front look alike bumper…
but still…
its nice…
if i have the money…i will buy bat mobile than this car…
hahaha

Impressive? Still can reach 349km/h without the present of the windshield!
I wonder what is the value of the coefficient drag? [Cd]
Any info about that Paul?

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.
