Mercedes-Benz will auction off the final SLR McLaren Stirling Moss model for over $6 million at RM Sotheby's sealed December sale. The car, chassis number 75, was built in December 2009 and features a supercharged V8 engine with 650 horsepower, allowing it to reach a top speed of 350km/h. Originally priced at €750,000, the fire opal red model was ordered by Kuwait's royal family and delivered to Switzerland in March 2010.
With only 32.9 miles on its odometer, the car has become a rare collector's item, with only one other example believed to have been completed with red leather interior and gold brake calipers from the factory.
