Mercedes, keeping with the tradition of producing limited editions of its SLR McLaren supercar, has released concept photos of what will be the final variants of the SLR. Dubbed the SLR Stirling Moss, it is a continuation of the heritage line of SLRs that pay respect to Mercedes' 1955 win at the Mille Miglia endurance race. The first special editions of the SLR were the 722, the number and start time of the 300 SLR that won the event (pictured below), and Stirling Moss was the driver for the event.
It has a sort of Dodge Viper shape, with exhaust pipes jetting out to the side just in front of the drivers seat, but the similarities to that supercar end there. Concept drawing show the car with Lamborghini-style lifting doors, and there are no windshields for the car. It also carries over the same engine from the 722 edition, with 641 horsepower.
The price for these cars will run a hefty $1 million each, although they will only be sold in Europe.
