The Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss was never built for casual cruising. Now RM Sotheby’s Sealed is offering the final example of the 75 units produced, and it wears a Fire Opal Red finish found on no other car.

Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Final Example
Recalling the closing chapter of the 2020 Mercedes AMG S65 V12 Final Edition, this roadster marks another farewell to big, unfiltered thrust. Its supercharged 5.4-liter V8 produces 650 horsepower through a rear-drive chassis that rewards commitment.
Only 32.9 miles sit on the odometer, so this Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss has barely been stretched. It was originally ordered by the Royal Family of Kuwait, and that provenance adds real weight to the lot.

Unused Miles and Royal Provenance
Still, a nearly new car deserves a proper workout. Inside, Silver Arrow red leather is stitched in contrasting yellow, with Alutex trim and size-large seats that suit bigger frames. Gold brake calipers sit behind the wheels, a detail that signals intent.
Mechanical Purity at 650 Horsepower
On paper, the numbers read like a Stuttgart fever dream. In reality, the supercharged V8 demands a driver who respects its mass and throttle response. Ahead of the sale, it is worth remembering that the car’s raw, analogue character is exactly what modern hybrids lack.
Expect this roadster to climb steadily in value. Collectors chasing the last unit of a limited run rarely walk away disappointed, and the Fire Opal Red finish only sharpens that appeal. Ultimately, a car this rare offers something no spreadsheet can measure.
