Inspired by the original 1955 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé, the contemporary SLR supercar was a collaborative effort between Mercedes-Benz and their Formula One partner, McLaren. Designed by Gordan Murray, the SLR showcased advanced automotive engineering with features such as a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, an active rear spoiler, Sensotronic carbon-ceramic brakes, butterfly doors, and a meticulously crafted AMG 5.4L supercharged V8 producing over 600 horsepower. Manufactured at the McLaren Technology Centre in Surrey, England, the SLR was part of a limited production run, with a total of 2,157 units produced in total. This 2005 example comes finished in Crystal Laurite Silver Metallic over an optional Silver Arrow Red leather interior. Acquired by the seller in 2022 from its original owner and previously listed on PCARMARKET, this SLR McLaren is now being offered for auction out of New York while showing approximately 9k miles on the odometer.
This example comes finished in Crystal Laurite Silver Metallic (977), a shade that pays homage to Mercedes’ famed “Silver Arrow” race cars. The striking bodywork is constructed from lightweight carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) and showcases butterfly-style doors, dual side-exit exhaust, front fender vents, a large rear diffuser, a smooth underbody, and an active rear spoiler that deploys automatically at varying degrees to maximize downforce and assist with braking. Silver-finished brake calipers are fitted behind factory 19” turbine-style wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires from 2020. Some cracks are noted on the rear reflectors. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin presents Silver Arrow Red (L01) leather upholstery contrasted with black leather trim. Equipment includes power-adjustable carbon fiber bucket seats, a grey Alcantara headliner, aluminum accents, pushbutton ignition, a multifunction steering wheel, full power accessories, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a Bose Premium Sound System.
The mid-front-mounted 5.4-liter V8 was hand-built by AMG and features a Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger with dual intercoolers. Offering an output of up to 617 HP and 580 lb.-ft of torque with 13psi of boost, the SLR can accelerate from 0-60 MPH in as little as 3.6 seconds with a top speed of over 200 MPH. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 5-speed AMG Speedshift R automatic transmission, while the car’s tremendous power is tamed by large carbon-ceramic brakes and Mercedes' Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) system. The suspension consists of unequal-length control arms at all corners. Service carried out in September 2020 included the replacement of the underbody hardware, battery, rear main seal, valve cover gaskets, air filters, drive belts, and right door support. Additionally, service in November 2022 included of flushing the brake fluid, changing the oil, refinishing the front wheels, and replacing the instrument cluster.
This sale will include a clean title, a window sticker, owner’s manuals, and sales literature.

@TheGuesser That's a good question and I am not sure.
Okay, might seem like an odd question on a car with a $460,000+ MSRP but, what in the world happened to the phone cord? The rest of the car looks amazing.
