Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Edition is back in limited numbers [video]

Updated McLaren Edition SLR will be limited series of just 25 units

A new McLaren Edition SLR has debuted at the Essen Motor Show.

Here's a video of the model.

Yes, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren was discontinued only last year but McLaren has now made available an updated version in a limited series.

The new McLaren Edition SLR comes with the same 5.4 liter V8 with 626 PS (460 kW / 620 bhp) as the last model but features a new aerodynamic kit and modified steering and suspension set-ups.

This latest McLaren Edition SLR will be limited to just 25 units.

Pricing details were not made available.

Check out the video for an up-close look.

Looks a bit different than original first one from 2004, rather looks like tuned version of original. Little bit overdesigned but some elements looks nice.

I have an older SLR, I wish it was turbocharged as the whine of the supercharger over the engines song spoils the experience. Also many of the interior components look cheap and break easily. I can see why it has not sold well.

one of the best ever!!!! at Mercedes-AMG-McLaren was always crazy with top of the range Benz, every mighty Merc has it's own designation: SLR McLaren - Batman's ride, SLS AMG Gullwing - Devil's (Satan's ride) and SL66 AMG Black Series - Darth Vader's ride :)))

Seriously, this looks like a cheap tuning kit - absolutely tasteless and really not like the usual elegant Mercedes-Benz style. I'm really surprised that they are offering this...

it's nice. perhaps a few more SLR owners are pissed by this even more? or they simply don't care anymore.

I find this hard to believe. MB have SLS, and Mclaren the MP4-12C, so why would the go ahead be given by MB or Mclaren for any more SLR's? I think an update of 'old' or rebuilding of damaged SLR's being more likely for this run of 25.

@ Hero Sina , wrong , that was just a rumour from an unnamed source. i don't believe Chrysler intended the next viper to have an electric version and gullwing doors. besides , the AMG team started working at the SLS right after the SLR was completed.

The SLS development mules had some Viper body panels, so all these idiots think it was a joint project. McLaren must have too many leftover parts. There are so many special edition SLRs, not a single one of them is actually special. Just let it die

The front of this car looks awful....it really looks like MB are taking the p***. Same engine and a restyled front bumber is pretty much the only difference. It's probably MB doing a survey of how many stupid idiots are out there with money ready to part with on an car that has finished production.
