Got ¥110 million to spend? That’s how much Mercedes-Benz is charging for its new SLR Stirling Moss sports car, the final model in its SLR line and the most expensive vehicle it has ever produced. Named after the legendary British F1 driver, the car promises to recreate the thrill of old-school racing by doing away with such creature comforts as a roof and windscreen. Goggles at the ready, eh? Of the 75 available worldwide, two are being offered for sale in Japan. The 650hp beast is powered by a 5.5-liter supercharged engine, and boasts a maximum speed of 350kph (217mph), though you might have trouble reaching that on the congested streets and expressways here.
