Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Edition - Click above for high-res image gallery
It's been a year since the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren was
discontinued. 2,000 examples of five different variants of the extravagant supercar were made over the course of five years of production. And in its wake,
Mercedes-Benz and
McLaren have gone their separate ways, both on the track and off. Both have been keeping plenty busy since the divorce, but they've apparently gotten back together for one last hurrah.
Apparently created by McLaren as an aftermarket kit for existing models and unveiled at the Essen Motor Show (think of it as Germany's
SEMA), this McLaren Edition SLR packs revised aerodyanamics, steering, suspension and interior. The result is an exclusive swan-song for the exotic McMerc (only 25 examples will be offered), and it looks like it's mated with a
MG SV. Take a closer look with the images below and the video after the jump, where you may notice that the Mercedes part of the equation has been decidedly de-emphasized.
