How many examples of the Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss were built? Exactly 75 were completed.
The SLR Stirling Moss was a 2009 limited-edition speedster and the final major variant of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Its name honored British racing driver Stirling Moss, whose most celebrated Mercedes victory came in the 1955 Mille Miglia.
Unlike the regular SLR, the Stirling Moss had no conventional roof or full windscreen. Its open cockpit and small wind deflectors gave it a dramatic, race-car-inspired appearance. Carbon-fibre construction also made it roughly 200 kilograms lighter than the standard model.
Production began in June 2009 after the SLR Roadster ended production in May. The cars used a supercharged 5.4-litre AMG V8 producing about 650 PS, with a claimed top speed of 350 km/h. The edition was offered exclusively to existing SLR owners, making 75 both its production limit and its extraordinary rarity.
