INQUIRE NOW
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren’s genesis lies in the collaboration between two titans of the automotive world, blending German engineering precision with British racing pedigree. The car was designed as a grand tourer, yet it incorporates numerous technological innovations and design elements inspired by the then Formula 1 partnership between the two eponymous marques. Its supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine, producing an impressive 617 horsepower, is a marvel of power and efficiency. This powerplant is not merely about brute force; it is an intricate assembly that speaks volumes of the technological advancements of its time. It is also notably the first motor built entirely in-house by AMG.
A distinctive feature of the SLR is its carbon fiber construction, a material choice that was pioneering for its era and integral to its exceptional performance characteristics. The car's aerodynamics are also a highlight, featuring an innovative airbrake and an auto-adjusting rear spoiler, enhancing its stability and handling at high speeds—while also paying tribute to style and ethos of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé.
This exquisite 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren stands as a paragon of automotive excellence and exclusivity. With just 4,800 miles on the odometer, this vehicle is not only in pristine condition but also holds a unique distinction in the world of luxury sports cars. It is the only known example globally to have been personally signed by its celebrated designer, Gordon Murray, adding an unparalleled touch of authenticity and prestige.
