A total of 2,157 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLarens were produced.
The SLR McLaren was a joint grand tourer developed by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive. Production ran from 2003 to 2010 at McLaren facilities in England, combining Mercedes-AMG power with McLaren’s carbon-fibre expertise.
The name SLR refers to “Sport Leicht Rennsport” and honors the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR racing car of the 1950s. The modern SLR used a front-mid-mounted 5.4-litre supercharged V8, carbon-fibre bodywork and distinctive butterfly doors.
Mercedes-Benz originally announced that production would be limited to 3,500 cars, but demand was much weaker than the planned 500 units per year. The final total includes coupés, roadsters and limited editions such as the 722 and the 75-car Stirling Moss speedster. The announced production limit is therefore not the same as the number actually built.
