2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Overview
Offered in one of the SLR McLaren's most elegant and desirable factory specifications, this 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is finished in Crystal Palladium Gray over Silver Arrow 300SL Red leather. Developed jointly by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, the SLR combined Formula 1-derived engineering with grand touring refinement, featuring a carbon-fiber monocoque, front-mid-mounted hand-built supercharged 5.4-liter V-8, and dramatic butterfly doors. This example was delivered new through Mercedes-Benz of El Dorado Hills in California and retains its original build configuration, including the desirable 19-inch Turbine wheels, red-painted brake calipers, two-tone steering wheel, leather-edged floor mats, and large driver and passenger seats.
According to the seller, the car benefits from paint protection film applied to the front half of the bodywork and received its most recent service in 2025. The seller reports that the vehicle is not currently due for service, notes that the tires date from 2020 with very good remaining tread, and states that there is no history of accident damage or body repairs to their knowledge. Cosmetic disclosures are limited to a small paint chip near the fuel-filler door, while the only reported mechanical issue is an illuminated TPMS warning light. The seller further indicates that the car does not leak fluids, all interior equipment functions properly, and the cabin remains free of significant wear or upholstery damage.
Accompanying the sale are the owner's manuals, factory battery charger, and original window sticker, providing excellent documentation for one of Mercedes-Benz's most celebrated modern supercars. Combining timeless styling, extraordinary performance, and increasing collector appeal, this well-presented SLR McLaren offers an opportunity to acquire a carefully maintained example finished in a sophisticated factory color combination, ideally suited for both spirited driving and inclusion in a world-class collection.
