- Mosslr reimagines the SLR Stirling Moss with wild styling and even wilder powertrains.
- The limited-run speedster will offer a choice of two V8s or an 838 hp V12 engine.
- Pricing for the car starts from €710,000 and rises to €790,000 for later production units.
You may not have heard of Engler Automotive before, but the small company builds a crazy quad bike with 1,200 hp, dubbed the Super Quad. Now, it’s presented renderings and plans to create a modernized version of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss, known as the Mosslr. If it ever sees the light of day (which is no guarantee), it will be made in 75 examples.

}

Like the original car, the Mosslr is a gorgeous speedster with obvious Mercedes-Benz influences, but an even more exotic look than the original SLR. Up front, there’s a large grille as well as a pair of thin LED headlights sitting above a set of wide air intakes.

The bodywork of the Mosslr is absolutely gorgeous. It has flowing wheel arches, a hood that seems to stretch on forever, and a tiny wind deflector in front of the cabin. The sides are just as beautiful as there are the side-exiting tailpipes, just like the original. Two flying buttresses sit behind the passenger cell, while at the very rear is a curved LED light bar, two subtle wings, and a large diffuser.
Engler hasn’t shown the interior just yet, though they claim it’ll be wrapped in high-end leather. Given their previous builds, expect something flashy, probably minimal, and definitely expensive.
Two different powertrains are in the works. The entry-level model is set to rock a V8 with 740 hp, but a more powerful V8 version with 986 hp is also in the works. According to Engler, the base model will hit 200 mph (322 km/h) while the 986 hp version will be good for over 217 mph (349 km/h). For those seeking the ultimate auditory experience, a V12 with 838 hp is also on the cards.
Initial pricing for the Mosslr starts at €710,000, or around $803,000, but that won’t last. Engler plans to bump that up to €790,000 ($894,000) after the first few units. The timeline is ambitious too, with the first example expected to be built within the next 6 to 9 months, followed by full-scale production shortly thereafter.
