A unique color elevates this modern classic.
Despite being a recent memory in automotive history, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is already a legend. It represents an excellent combination of power, performance, engineering, design, and luxury that has cemented its status as not only one of the greatest creations from Mercedes-Benz, but also one of the most loved supercars of all time.
It was born out of the racing partnership between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, and bringing it to the road created something truly special. Mercedes-Benz provided the 617-horsepower 5.5-liter supercharged V8 engine, and the historic legacy of the Silver Arrow SLR race cars, while McLaren provided its lightweight performance-oriented engineering expertise. Of course, one of the most important pieces of the puzzle was the design talent of the legendary Gordon Murray.
The result was a beautiful, high-performance, luxurious supercar that to this day remains admired and influences the standards of today’s performance machines. The Roadster variant, introduced in 2007, added an open top to the mix. This specific example of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster for sale is not only a beautiful example of the supercar masterpiece but also a unique one that is both head turning and classically-inspired with its unique color.

In addition, the car boasts only 930 miles on its odometer, making it a time capsule of modern automotive history.
