Amazingly over the top is one way to describe this Mercedes McLaren SLR. Dressed from top to bottom in chrome (including that reflective chrome-tinted glass) it causes quite a scene outside the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai. While this driver has a license plate number so high we’d assume it belonged to a pauper, we know it takes some serious scratch to buy an SLR, and can only imagine the price tag necessary to go ahead and chrome the living daylights out of it.

The 2009 Mercedes Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss has just been unveiled here at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, and with only 75 copies of the $1.01 Million boutique supercar being produced, it’s a fitting start for the 2009 Detroit Auto Show.
The SLR Stirling Moss acts as the finale for the SLR supercar, and, of course, a tribute to one of histories greatest race car drivers. In the Stirling Moss variant, McLaren has boiled the driving experience down to its rawest form — a carbon fiber chassis, completely exposed to the elements, at one with the wind in your face, breathing in the smell of the side-exit exhaust pounding from the 650-hp supercharged 5.5-liter V8.

Now that Lewis Hamilton has secured the Formula One championship, supercar fans around the world are asking when he’ll get his hands on that rare McLaren F1 LM. The incredibly valuable supercar – initially reported at $4 million but now apparently worth closer to 8 – was promised to the budding young driver if he won the title. However, the condition was that he win both the drivers title and, together with team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, lock up the constructors’ title for the team, as well. Although he won the drivers’ championship, the constructors’ crown went to arch-rivals Ferrari, but since McLaren chief Ron Dennis is such a good sport, he’s renegotiated the terms.
If Hamilton manages to repeat his title victory with a hat-trick – that is, take another two championships – he’ll get his hands on the bright orange supercar. That’s quite a challenge, but Dennis called it a “small price to pay for three world championships.” Indeed, but by then McLaren will have a whole slew of supercars on the market for Lewis to choose from. In the meantime, he’d better keep his head down and focus on the prize.

It looks like McLaren and Mercedes are completing one more variant of their SLR before making their break-up official. This time, the Mercedes McLaren SLR Speedster was recently spotted testing at the Nurburgring, looking fine in its chess board camouflage. But, the super secret next-gen Mercedes SLC is out there too, planning to make both the slow-selling SLR and the Audi R8 obsolete in one fell swoop.
