A 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss, the final model produced, is set to be auctioned by Bonhams Cars. This rare and highly coveted vehicle, number 75 of 75, is a tribute to racing legend Sir Stirling Moss and Mercedes’ iconic 1950s 300 SLR race car.
Powered by a 5.4L supercharged V8 engine delivering 650 hp, this speedster can reach a top speed of 220 mph and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. Its striking design, including its unique roofless body, was crafted by Yoon Il-Un, now a VP of Design at Genesis. With no roof, windshield, or side windows, the SLR Stirling Moss is built for pure driving enthusiasts.
This particular example boasts a special red paint finish, gold-painted brake calipers and a red leather “Silver Arrow” interior with yellow stitching. It has only had one owner since new, a VIP Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin client and has accumulated just 50 kilometers on the odometer.
The vehicle was recently recommissioned by Stratton Motor Company and comes with its original documentation, including a duplicate Swiss registration and a Mercedes-Benz Certificate of Conformity. Its arrival at auction represents a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire the ultimate expression of the SLR McLaren, blending performance, exclusivity and motorsport heritage into one extraordinary machine.
This very special Stirling Moss example will be available for bidding on October 6 as part of Bonhams Cars’ The Zoute Sale and is estimated to fetch as much as $2,765,650 USD.
