2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren rwd

If the regular SLR McLaren is not special or rare enough, this presented here is an exclusive SLR McLaren Edition, produced in only 25 units, and this example is number 14. This special McLaren Edition model was constructed by McLaren Special Operations, the in-house customization division.

The McLaren Edition was introduced as an enhancement package after SLR production concluded in 2010. The package was intended to improve performance and provide a more aggressive aesthetic. Despite the original SLR’s 617 horsepower and 207 mph top speed, many owners sought these upgrades. Notable aerodynamic modifications included a restyled rear diffuser and a larger front splitter, both derived from the limited SLR 722 Edition, to improve airflow. Additional features included new side intakes and an enlarged active rear wing that increased downforce by up to 15 percent compared to the SLR 722 and served as a larger air brake. Restyled air intakes above the lightweight ceramic-coated exhaust tips were designed to replicate the McLaren speedmark and serve primarily as an artistic element. To reduce weight, a carbon-Kevlar front floor was installed, and a custom lightweight wheel design originally developed for the 722 S was used. The suspension was upgraded for a sportier configuration, lowering the ride height by 10 millimeters.

This example features distinctive metallic red paint that shifts to black in low light, creating a dramatic visual effect. Following the completion of MSO upgrades in 2019, the unit has been professionally stored and maintained. If you are looking for a unique SLR, please contact us for more information.
