A breathtaking interpretation of the 300 SLR legend
Concept
The new SLR Stirling Moss is the kind of high-calibre speedster coveted by the sporting gentry and enthusiasts alike. At the same time it is a collector’s item which marks the pinnacle of an era and, for the foreseeable future, at least, the final curtain for the SLR.
Design
Every time drivers take to the wheel of the SLR Stirling Moss their senses are addressed with a previously unheard of intensity, conveying a driving experience in its purest and most sensual form. This supercar offers the kind of open-air feeling that is utterly unique for a road-going vehicle.
Sir Stirling Moss
I was taught that everything is attainable if you are prepared to give up, to sacrifice, to get it. Whatever you want to do, you can do it, if you want it badly enough, and I do believe that.
Heritage
We are driving a car which barely takes a second to overtake the rest of the traffic and for which 120 mph on a quiet motorway is little more than walking pace. With its unflappable handling through corners, it treats the laws of centrifugal force with apparent disdain.
Legend
Known for his brash, puckish persona, race car driver Stirling Moss won 212 of his 529 races, including 16 Grand Prix victories, but never won the Grand Prix Championship title. In the 1950s, small boys wanted to be Stirling Moss, and so did men.
