Sixteen years ago, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren launched the wildest version of their jointly-developed supercar: the SLR Stirling Moss. It was a speedster version of the car, lacking a windshield, just like the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR that Sir Stirling Moss drove to victory in that year’s Mille Miglia. Mercedes only built 75 examples of the open-top exotic, and it never created a successor. The Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed certainly has some similarities with a lack of a windshield, but it’s more of a tribute to modern F1 cars with its halo-inspired center bar. It’s also based on the Mercedes-AMG SL 63, rather than a more limited-run supercar like the Moss SLR. As such, a different company has decided to build another Moss tribute that Mercedes doesn’t seem interested in, and it looks amazing.
