2005 | Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

On the eve of model year 2000, Mercedes-Benz offered a glimpse into design possibilities of the coming millennium inspired by the heights of its 20th-century success. The Vision SLR (1999) concept defined a moment in the automobile's development at a space-age intersection of aspirational luxury and high performance looking decades into the future.

Seeing production by 2003, Mercedes-Benz partnered with none other than McLaren Automotive to produce the vehicle with great care at scale. Built in Woking, England, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren showcased the first carbon fiber monocoque construction and carbon ceramic brakes ever configured in a mass-produced road car. With 617 horsepower, its supercharged 5.4L V8 propelled the rakish coupe to a top speed of 207mph.

Finished in Crystal Laurite Silver over special Silver Arrow 300SL Red leather, this 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren showcases the supercar in timeless configuration. A full seven years ahead of the manufacturer's AMG Black Series debut, this early example's gullwing doors and endless clamshell hood reveal a combination of comfort and performance unparalleled when new. Its supercharged M155 V8 drives rear wheels via five-speed automatic transmission w/selectable manual shifting while massive 14-inch carbon ceramic rotors front and rear slow inertia of 19-inch H.R.E. wheels. One of just 615 SLRs produced for model year 2005, this Mercedes-Benz now shows an odometer reading of 6,275 miles. Adding to this rare examples desirability is a complete collection of original factory SLR accessories, ranging from the World Premier Press Kit, mobile telephone with mounting kit, original options selection materials, factory literature, and much more, itself an extremely rare collection often not included with other SLR McLaren examples.
