As a follow up on yesterdays McLaren SLR Speedster article, we now have pictures and video to prove that Mercedes and McLaren are working on this stripped out, limited edition SLR Speedster. The pictures were taken somewhere in the middle of Germany and show a heavily disguised and heavily chopped version of the SLR Roadster. It’s therefore not difficult to see where the weight losses will come from with no windows, windscreen or roof.

Why does this video so much looks like a fake ?
must be hard to get a video of a car mercedes/mclaren don’t want anybody to see.
car looks awesome in the flesh…
What amazes me though is that they covered everything in black/white stickers but leave the Merc logo and headlights unsealed. If they covered them up as well it would be even harder to distinguish and nobody might even figure out what it is until it’s officially released.
Spy shots are good publicity for a company, there free and something for people to get excited about.
Vid has been made by Mercedes imao.
They all look like professional jobs, and perhaps not even on open road?
its not possible to shoot some of those angles at that location without being seen. SLR Speedster kinda makes me think of this…
