This 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren roadster is powered by a supercharged 5.4-liter M155 V8 paired with an AMG Speedshift R five-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Crystal Digenite Blue over beige Silver Arrow leather. Equipment includes a black soft top, butterfly-hinged doors, side-exit exhaust pipes, 19″ turbine-style alloy wheels, carbon-ceramic composite brake rotors, and a speed-activated spoiler with an air-brake function as well as dual-zone automatic climate control, a six-disc CD changer, a Bose sound system, and carbon-fiber seats and interior trim. The car is said to have remained registered in California from new, and it was acquired by the owner in 2022. This SLR McLaren roadster has 5k miles and is now offered on dealer consignment with manufacturer’s literature, a car cover, a battery maintainer, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.
The SLR was constructed with a carbon-fiber monocoque and crash structures, and this example is finished in Crystal Digenite Blue (502) with a black soft top. Additional features include a rear diffuser, upward-opening butterfly doors, integrated fog lights, heated side mirrors, twin side-exhaust outlets behind each front wheel, and an electronically deployed rear spoiler air brake. The selling dealer notes a chip on the inside of the spoiler.
Asymmetrical turbine-style 19″ alloy wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Stopping power is provided by silver Mercedes-Benz-branded calipers mounted over carbon-ceramic composite rotors at all four corners, and the car is equipped with a Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) system
The front-mid-mounted 5.4-liter M155 V8 features all-aluminum construction, 24 valves, dry-sump lubrication, and a Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger, and it drives the rear wheels through an AMG Speedshift R five-speed automatic transmission. Factory-rated output was 617 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque. The Carfax report states that the body control module and fuses were replaced and that an oil change was carried out in 2020.
