Production of the Mercedes-Benz SLR (Sport Light Racing) came to an end in 2009, but the model still had something to show. So in 2011, Mercedes launched the SLR McLaren Edition. Only 25 such units were made and delivered worldwide. Just six of them were Roadsters and the model now on sale is one of those.
