The McLaren SLR Stirling Moss

This is an impressive looking car. I can't wait to see the live pictures of it to see if it looks as good as the mock ups.

Mercedes-Benz will officially unveil the 2009 McLaren SLR Stirling Moss at this year's Detroit Auto Show.

The car will feature a full carbon fiber body and have a 650-hp supercharged 5.5-liter V8 with a top speed of 217 mph and can reach 62mph in just 3.5 seconds. Other interesting features about the car are the "swing-wing" doors that flip strait up and a two-piece tonneau cover that can cover the entire cockpit or just the passenger seat.

Only 75 of the cars will be made, and each will have a $1 million dollar price tag.

You can see more pictures of the car over at the Autoblog site HERE.
