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.

Details aren’t complete, but sometime during the morning of July 15th, a 22-year-old male driving the amazing Mercedes SLR McLaren lost control of the vehicle and died in a catastrophic crash. The massive debris field scattered across the Qatari desert suggests the car was traveling at what must have been a very high rate of speed, rendering any amount of security and safety protection systems useless.
Hit the jump for pictures of the scattered debris field one thought only the Lockheed Martin SR71 Blackbird could make. Read the rest of this entry »

Ladies and Gentlemen, allow us to present the next iteration of the Mercedes SLR McLaren. This is the Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Speedster!

As you may know, British Automotive show TopGear is back and in full swing for their 11th season already. And to show that they are still “in touch with the needs of the people” they felt the need to give advice on fuel economy and saving money. (That and apparently the BBC is sending them letters and letters and letters). And in true Jeremy Clarkson style, he decided to gather 5 supercars and have a race. But it wouldn’t be an ordinary race, oh no. It had to have that Topgear / Jeremy Clarkson touch.
