Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss Video Transcript

[ Music ] ^M00:00:09

>> Yeah, I can get into some real trouble with this guy. This is going to be the end of the line for the current family of Mercedes SLR. It's the SLR McLaren Stirling Moss, name for the legendary race driver who won in one of these in 1955, the Miglia I think. Check it out, pure motoring -- yeah, no kidding. No roof. Not retractable, not removable, just no roof. No windshield as we call it either unless you call those windshields. They would scarcely keep a bug off your upper lip I think. This is all about pure motoring in audacious design. A V8 engine with 650 horsepower, 0 to 60 in 3.5 -- a lot of cars do that these days if you spent enough money, but not quite this saucily, would they? You know Mercedes they get away with go wing doors. These are like slivers, though. Nice looking interior with again the carbon fiber, the toughed leather, some throw back sort of touches in here, blending with the modern. Seventy-five of these will be made -- that's it. At 750,000 euros, that's a little over a million depending on the exchange rate, so get in line. ^M00:01:14 [ Music ]
