2010 Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Mossby ~melkorius

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Vehicles / Terrestrial (for land)

The Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss, the final hurrah for the fabled SLR line, has a production date of June 2009 and is the culmination of everything SLR. The SLR Stirling Moss has a radical design, with no roof or even proper windshield. It is as if Mercedes-Benz is flaunting the fact that all SLR drivers own a couple more cars, and the retro race-roadster design is the only thing they could respectfully apply legendary British race car driver Stirling Moss's name to.

Stirling Moss--the car--is styled unlike anything else on the market, even from boutique car builders. It looks every bit the modern interpretation of the classic race speedster Mercedes is going for, and while the modern SLR McLaren heritage is clear, this new edition is wholly different. While the new open supercar Mercedes was again developed in conjunction with McLaren, this one drops the McClaren name in favor of honoring the most famous of Benz pilots.

Mercedes-Benz rather curious decision to fit the SLR Stirling Moss with neither a front windshield nor side windows seems like a strange one on a supercar capable of more than 200 mph. Only two tiny front wind deflectors--less than two centimeters tall, Mercedes-Benz reminds us--protect driver and passenger from wind, dust, tiny chunks of asphalt, etc. Helmets will be required for serious high speed driving, but just think how cool and classy you can look with a vintage Stirling Moss SLR 300-style racing helmet!

Only a roofless, windowless car can get away with the huge air scoops aft of the rear seats, which also serve SLR Stirling Moss driver and passenger safety with integrated roll bars. The car's drastic styling, when compared side-by-side with the famous SLR 300 race cars of the 1950s, does its namesake justice. The SLR Stirling Moss will be the culmination of production for the SLR line, and will see a worldwide release of 75 units. Just 75.

Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss price sits at EUR 750,000 or approximately USD $1.05 million, and good luck getting one, even if you have that kind cash. This thing is inevitably destined to fetch many millions at the Pebble Beach auctions of the future. Availability at launch will be only to European current customers of Mercedes-Benz.

Looking great although some parts seem too plastic - more reflections could do wonders to these renders

~melkorius Aug 5, 2012

Theres to much "white sky"...that why there isn't much reflections, but thks for the opinion

I'm not sure if your Gamma is set oddly, but nearly all of your images are dark. Too dark, in my opinion. I've taken 3 minutes in Photoshop to "correct" this image. Have a look at this: [link] and see if you don't find it to be an improvement. You're doing cool stuff, but it's hard to see.

~Estherella Aug 4, 2012 Hobbyist

I don't think it's too dark. It looks fine to me.
Yours is brighter, but it's not much of a difference.

~melkorius Aug 4, 2012

well, in my pc your image is to bright, the whites are exploding. its in fact a gama correction..
