411-Mile 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster

Premium Listing

This 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster has 411 miles and is finished in Pure Black over black Silver Arrow leather. The car is powered by a supercharged 5.4-liter M155 V8 paired with an AMG Speedshift R five-speed automatic transmission, and equipment includes an Anthracite Black soft top, asymmetrical 19″ turbine-spoke wheels, carbon-ceramic disc brakes, butterfly doors, xenon headlights, side-exit exhaust pipes, carbon-fiber seats, a Bose sound system, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Recently purchased by the selling dealer, this SLR McLaren Roadster is now offered in California with a coffee table book, manufacturer’s literature, a battery tender, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Nevada title.

The SLR was built with a carbon-fiber monocoque and crash structures. This example is finished in Pure Black and features upward-opening butterfly doors, an Anthracite Black convertible soft top, xenon headlights, integrated fog lights, heated side mirrors, twin side-exit exhaust outlets behind each front wheel, a rear diffuser, and an electronically deployed rear spoiler air brake. The selling dealer notes a touched-up blemish on the left door.

Asymmetrical turbine-style 19″ alloy wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Stopping power is provided by red Mercedes-Benz-branded calipers over carbon-ceramic rotors at all four corners, and the car is equipped with a Sensotronic Brake Control system (SBC).

Black Silver Arrow leather covers the power-adjustable carbon-fiber bucket seats along with the center console, dashboard, and door panel inserts, while aluminum and carbon-fiber trim accents the cabin. The car was ordered with an XXL driver’s seat and an extra-large passenger seat. Additional equipment includes a cassette stereo, a trunk-mounted CD changer, a Bose sound system, a shift knob-mounted starter button, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel features shift paddles and frames McLaren-branded instrumentation including a 220-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 411 miles.

The front-mid-mounted 5.4-liter M155 V8 was factory rated at 617 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque and features all-aluminum construction, 24 valves, dry-sump lubrication, and a Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through an AMG Speedshift R five-speed automatic transmission.

A coffee table book, manufacturer’s literature, a battery tender, and two keys are included in the sale.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists registration history in Michigan, Florida, Montana, and Nevada. The car has not passed a California emissions inspection.
