The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is one of the most significant grand touring supercars of the modern era, born from a unique partnership between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren at the height of their Formula One success. Inspired by the legendary 300 SLR racers of the 1950s, it combined advanced motorsport technology with long-distance refinement, creating a car that was as comfortable crossing continents as it was capable of extraordinary performance. Its dramatic proportions, carbon-fibre construction, butterfly doors and distinctive side-exit exhausts gave it a presence unlike anything else on the road, while a hand-built supercharged V8 delivered effortless power with a character defined by immense torque and unmistakable mechanical theatre.

More than two decades after its introduction, the SLR McLaren has secured its place as a true modern classic. Today, it is celebrated not merely for its performance, but as a landmark automotive achievement whose rarity, significance and timeless design continue to distinguish it among the most revered cars of the twenty-first century.

Supplied new to the United States in 2005, this exceptional example is presented in the timeless combination of Crystal Galaxite Black over Exclusive Red leather, beautifully complemented by a silver centre console and grey Alcantara headlining. Factory specification includes the iconic butterfly doors, multifunction steering wheel, cruise control with speed limiter, dual-zone climate control, and the original Mercedes-Benz audio system.

Imported to the United Kingdom and UK registered in 2022, the car has covered just over 13,000 miles from new. It has clearly benefited from meticulous ownership throughout its life, supported by an extensive service history spanning both the United States and the UK.

Most notably, the car underwent its major engine-out 'B' service in July 2025, carried out by renowned SLR specialists Avantgarde. This comprehensive service included replacement of the spark plugs, coil packs, HT leads, rocker cover gaskets and fuel filters ensuring the car is presented in excellent mechanical condition and ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.

A product of a legendary Formula 1 partnership, this outstanding Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren presents a rare opportunity to own a highly coveted piece of modern supercar history, offering both ferocious performance and exceptional long-distance refinement.
