Seller's Introduction
duPont REGISTRY Live is proud to present this 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster, finished in elegant Crystal Palladium Grey over a distinctive Black and Silver Arrow leather interior. Showing just 14,534 miles, this exceptional example is one of only 229 SLR McLaren Roadsters produced for the U.S. market, making it a particularly significant chapter in the collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren. Combining a hand-built supercharged V8, carbon fiber construction, and unmistakable grand-touring character, the SLR Roadster remains one of the most distinctive performance cars of its era.
Overview
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren united Mercedes-Benz luxury and AMG powertrain expertise with McLaren’s Formula 1-derived engineering. Mercedes-Benz contributed the Vision SLR-inspired design, luxurious interior, and hand-built 5.4-liter supercharged AMG V8 producing 617 horsepower, while McLaren developed the pioneering carbon-fiber monocoque, crash structures, and advanced aerodynamics.
The exterior is finished in Crystal Palladium Grey, complemented by 19-inch Asymmetric Turbine wheels, silver-painted brake calipers, and a deployable rear spoiler. The retractable Anthracite soft top provides open-air versatility, while the SLR’s long hood, low-slung profile, and dramatic proportions give it an unmistakable presence.
Inside, Black and Silver Arrow leather upholstery creates a sophisticated and distinctly SLR-specific cabin. Power-adjustable carbon fiber bucket seats with lumbar support provide exceptional support, while the XXL driver and XL passenger seating configurations offer additional accommodation. Carbon fiber trim, a two-tone multifunction steering wheel, and a seven-speaker Bose sound system with six-disc CD changer complete the highly appointed interior.
Power comes from Mercedes-AMG’s 5.5-liter supercharged V8, paired with the AMG Speedshift R five-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Ceramic composite brakes provide exceptional stopping performance, complementing the SLR’s formidable performance and advanced chassis engineering.
Showing just 14,534 miles and accompanied by a Clean CarFax, one key, and a car cover, this 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most exclusive and memorable supercars born from the Mercedes-Benz and McLaren partnership. With only 229 examples produced for the U.S., its combination of limited production, dramatic design, supercharged V8 performance, and open-air capability makes the SLR Roadster a compelling modern collectible.
Inspectors Notes: This is an early 2000's Icon with the ultimate combination of McLaren performance and Mercedes luxury. It presents incredibly well for how long it has been on the road. SLRs will go down in history as one of the greatest grand tourers of all time.
