Detroit 2009: Mercedes-Benz unveils McLaren SLR Stirling Moss early

At an event ahead of tomorrow's Detroit Auto Show kick-off, Mercedes-Benz showed off the new Mclaren SLR Stirling Moss to a select group of journos. The company is only offering 75 roadsters to current SLR owners to close out the supercar's tenure, so when these windscreen-free, 650 hp monsters are gone, that's it for the SLR. It must be a rush exploring the SLR's supercharged 5.5-liter V8 and 217 mph top speed with your head out in the open. Goofy old man and silly aviator eye-protectors sold seperately.

Then I suppose you're not prepared to see me driving with my corgi (in goggles, natch) tongue hanging out, in the passenger seat...

Freakin awesome.
And I'd totally drive it with the leather cap and goggles.

Leather cap and goggles are the only way to drive this thing.
Should be the only way to drive a Caterham, too, but then they added windscreens as an option. :P

Hahaha... the driver looks ridiculous.
Personally I think the car looks awesome, but man, the driver makes it hard to take this thing seriously.

It would be totally appropriate in Stig's white helmet though, with matching white racing suit.

Now Ariel Atom and Lotus 2-Eleven drivers won't be the only ones with their epiglottises full of bees.

You ever seen Jurassic Park? Well it might sound like that T Rex.

What's up with the mole on the front of the car?
Completely ruins the well-proportioned look.
