RM Sotheby\u2019s is set to auction a rare 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster, as part of its upcoming Arizona 2024 sale, taking place in Phoenix during Arizona Car Week.<\/p>\n

Born from the formidable partnership of Mercedes-Benz, AMG and McLaren — this iconic roadster represents a unique blend of luxury and performance, hailing from a limited production of just 670 units manufactured between 2006 and 2008.<\/p>\n

The SLR McLaren Roadster is a testament to the engineering prowess of its creators. Powered by a 5.4L, supercharged V-8 engine developed by AMG, it delivers 626 hp. This powerplant enables the Roadster to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 206 mph.<\/p>\n

This particular SLR McLaren Roadster is a US-market model first sold through Mercedes-Benz of Miami in March 2008. Despite it’s performance capabilities, the grand tourer also boasts a significant touch of elegance, finished in the model\u2019s signature Crystal Laurite Silver, complemented by Silver Arrow 300SL Red Leather upholstery. Additional features include Black Carbon Trim and Red Brake Calipers.<\/p>\n

With just under 7,700 miles on the odometer, RM Sotheby’s noted that this example has “continued to benefit from a pampered life with regular maintenance and gentle use.”<\/p>\n

The auction package includes the car\u2019s owner\u2019s manuals, service invoices dating back to 2014, a car cover with a bag, a convertible top bag, a Mercedes-Benz SLR trickle charger and a tool kit with an air compressor. Bidding for the vehicle is set to begin on January 25, 2024, with the estimate set at a range of $375,000 to $475,000 USD.<\/p>\n
