The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss is a car with boosted performance and toned-up looks that carries the maker’s seal of approval.
Only 75 will be built when production starts in June, and even in these difficult times, all have been presold. To qualify to buy one, you would need to have been one of “the most loyal of SLR customers”, as Mercedes put it, with about £815,000 of spare cash.
Why name it after Sir Stirling Moss? Well, he is one of only two surviving people to have regularly raced a Mercedes F1 car, and I suspect Mercedes felt that “SLR Hans Herrmann” didn’t have quite the same ring. Stirling’s most notable achievement behind the wheel of a Mercedes was with a 300 SLR, winning the 1955 Mille Miglia road race from Brescia to Rome and back, driving almost 1,000 miles in a little more than 10 hours – a record that still stands.
ASH 26 … simply masterful!
The full-size ASH 26 was developed and built by the Schleicher company in Poppenhausen. The machine is available both as a pure glider and as a powered version with retractable engine, in which form it is known as the ASH 26 E. Unlike most 18m gliders, which are just “bored-out” standard-class machines, the full-size ASH 26 was designed from the outset as an 18m glider. As a result its performance is close to that of a classic open-class sailplane, but with significantly better handling.
Der Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (Baureihe 199) ist ein von Mercedes-Benz und McLaren entwickelter Supersportwagen. Er wird von McLaren im englischen Woking (Montage) und in Portsmouth (Rohbau Karosse) produziert und kostet mindestens 440.500 EUR.
In Anlehnung an das Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Coupé (Uhlenhaut-Coupé) der 1950er Jahre wurde auch dieser Wagen mit Schmetterlingstüren und charakteristischen Entlüftungsöffnungen an den Seiten und auf der Motorhaube ausgestattet. Die Produktion ist auf 3500 Exemplare limitiert, von denen bis Anfang 2006 schon etwa 1000 Exemplare ausgeliefert wurden.
