WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF


I am a big, Big fan of Mercedes' discontinued SLR supercar, and none of the SLRs are more super than the ultra-rare Sterling Moss speedster.

In their bid to sell 75 of the permanently topless speedsters, Mercedes allowed for wild amounts of customization - which (along with boatloads of cash) allowed Teamspeed poster N Althani the freedom to build this gorgeous bi-color example of the carbon fiber exotic.

Heady stuff.

UPDATE!!

The car's owner just posted this video (below) showing the car from a bunch of angles, at night, in the middle of the day, inside, outside, and so on.

Take a look ...





I NEED MORE MONEY


... I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.

the last slr






Just for the record: We know this is NOT the end of the line for Mercedes-McLaren's SLR platform (see HERE, HERE, and HERE for evidence to support these claims).

That said, the MotorAuthority site (among others) has posted news of the last US-bound Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren roadster being auctioned off to benefit the St. Jude Children's Hospital.

slr 722 roadster









It should be obvious, by now, that I am an absolute sucker for all things SLR, and this latest variant - the SLR McLaren 722 Roadster - will probably be my favorite for another week or so, when the press embargo on the SLR Speedster is expected to break.

Until then: soak it in, people. As soon as we get our grubby little mittens on one, we'll post the dyno figures.
