About the SLR Stirling Moss Speedster

The 2009 Mclaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Speedster is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,568 kg with 641 bhp, which works out at 409 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 409 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.75 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 367th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the quickest of the 4 Mclaren Mercedess here. Its 130.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 10 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Mclaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Speedster 0-60 time?
The Mclaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Speedster reaches 60 mph in 3.15 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 367th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mclaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Speedster quarter mile time?
11.03 s at 130.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.18 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.75 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mclaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Speedster have?
641 bhp and 1,568 kg, which is 409 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 350 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mclaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Speedster?
Closest here on pace: Ruf RT12 (3.21 s), Brabus EV12 (3.20 s), Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 C6 (3.18 s). Each one can be raced against the Mclaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Speedster in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mclaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Speedster is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
