Through a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, numerous victories were achieved in Formula One during the mid-1990s. The only road-going car jointly developed between these two marques was the SLR, introduced in November 2003. While supercars are known for being uncompromising in the pursuit of ultimate performance, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren pursued a different route. The tried-and-true mid-engine configuration was abandoned in favor of a front-mid-engine layout which resulted in near-perfect weight distribution. Additionally, it provided a more spacious cabin and trunk, making it more practical and usable than its competitors. Styling elements included a long, sculpted hood, unique gullwing doors, and an aggressive yet elegant stance. Beneath the bonnet was a Mercedes-built 5.4-liter supercharged V8 nestled entirely behind the front axle. Engineered and manufactured at McLaren's facilities in Woking, United Kingdom, the SLR combined performance with luxury in equal measure, giving it status as both a supercar and a grand tourer.
Production commenced in 2004 and ended in 2008 after 1,412 examples had been built. This particular example was sold new through Mercedes-Benz of Palm Beach in Florida (formerly Gulfstream Motors) to its first and only owners. It wears a Crystal Laurite Silver exterior with a Silver Arrow 300SL Red Leather interior—a $9,900 option from the factory. Additionally, there are larger standard driver and passenger seats for enhanced comfort, as well as the standard wheel package. Currently, there are fewer than 20,150 miles on the odometer.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2024
