Summary

RM Sotheby's is auctioning the final 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss with an estimate exceeding 6 million USD

The speedster is the only example finished in Fire Opal Red and shows just 32.9 miles on the odometer

The sealed auction runs from November 25 through December 2 for the only U.S. road-legal example in existence

Auction house RM Sotheby’s is set to offer the final Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss ever produced, with the ultra-rare speedster estimated to fetch in excess of $6 million USD. Slated for an RM Sotheby’s Sealed auction running from November 25 through December 2, 2026, the 2010 supercar stands as the 75th and final example built, displaying just 32.9 miles on its odometer.

Originally commissioned by the Royal Family of Kuwait and kept in climate-controlled storage in Switzerland until 2024, the vehicle is the only example factory-finished in Fire Opal Red paint. The bespoke specification features a matching “Silver Arrow” red leather interior with contrasting yellow stitching, widened front seats, specialized Alutex aluminum interior trim, and an integrated stereo—making it one of only two Stirling Moss editions equipped with a sound system.

Emulating Sir Stirling Moss’s historic 1955 Mille Miglia-winning 300 SLR, the open-air speedster eschews a roof, windshield, and side glass in favor of dual small wind deflectors. Beneath the sculpted carbon-fiber bodywork sits a Mercedes-AMG 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 producing 650 horsepower, achieving 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds on its way to a 220 mph top speed. Notably, the vehicle has been fully federalized and U.S. road registered by G&K Automotive Services, making it the only road-legal example in America.

Bidding for the 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss opens November 25 and closes December 2, 2026, exclusively via RM Sotheby’s Sealed.
