Before I start, I guess I have to go into a laborious and long explanation of who Stirling Moss is, so you get the idea of how important the dedication of this car is. Stirling Moss is the best British racing car driver in history, ever, if that makes sense. And he's a "Sir".

Wow, that really didn't take as long as I expected.

So anyway, Sir Moss, who probably has the most outstandingly cool given name in history - what I wouldn't give to have the name "Stirling"...! - turns 80 this year, and it really is about time he had an outstandingly cool car named after him. So this is what they came up with.

This is, when you get down to the nitty gritty, just an SLR. Which we shouldn't scoff at mind you - with a supercharged V8 engine pumping out 485kW, and a 0-100kmh time of 3.4 seconds, this is hardly tame. It will surge all the way to 349kmh, if you want to take it there. No doubt you like what you see. I like, you like, we all like.

But SLR production stops in May, so only 75 of these beauties will be built, and before you start thinking that you'll have a chance of buying one, allow me to sorely dissappoint you - they've only been offered to current SLR owners, and they've all already been snapped up. For a bargain, of course: $1,536,000 my sources tell me. Yeowch.

But the point of me writing this article was not just to introduce to you another irrelevant supercar, but to illustrate that for me, the Stirling Moss is exactly what the Merc/McLaren SLR should have been in the first place. When they decided to make a new supercar, why didn't they look to the Mercedes and McLaren supercars of old for inspiration? Thing about the 50's Mercedes SL Gullwing, or the McLaren F1, which featured the odd number of three seats, which a central driving position. These cars were wild, extroadinary, and there was nothing else like them, so they became instant classics. The SLR was unremarkable in the world of supercars - yes, it was fast, but they're all fast. The SLR simply wasn't "super". I believe that the SLR Stirling Moss certainly is super. Super Dooper.

The Stirling Moss is brilliant for the crazy things, like the bonnet that accounts for about half the car's total length, and the quad exhaust pipes that protrude from the side of the car, not the rear. It is also brilliant for what it lacks - a roof (though it does have a little tonneau cover you can fit if it rains), side windows, a windscreen... yes it does not have a said windscreen. It does have a small flap, but this is the fastest open air experience you can possibly have in a road-legal car. End of story. Not really, I have more to say, actually.

They've obviously borrowed the styling-cues from the old 350 SLR, itself a classic, but the elegance and perfection in which they are executed in such a modern way is truly breathtaking. And it even features a proper McLaren paintjob - a highly reflective, almost mirror like silver. Yes, this is definitely a car for my dream garage folks, sure is.

NEWS: Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss

You'd think that supercars don't really get much of a mention in WTF?! - they're usually very cool, and very fast stuff usually doesn't deserved to be bagged. But this does. A lot.

Mansory is a German tuning firm (always those retarded Germans...) that, on the whole, has disturbingly little taste, and the cars they tune nearly always go from nice to nasty. When they got their hands on the Mercedes McLaren SLR however, it went from nice to downright nauseous.

If the warning bells aren't yet ringing now that you're looking at all the pictures, I'll explain the details that will make you chunder like you never have before. First of all, it's called the Mansory Renovatio - that nearly speaks for itself, seeing as they were only one letter away from calling it the Mansory Renovation. But what is meant to be decadent and opulent, is really sickly - finding out about this car made me feel like I had eaten too much white chocolate (which is quite a foreign feeling to me, trust me).

The exterior bodykit, let's face it, wasn't such a bad start - they could have done much, much worse. They left bits here and there in carbon, so it looks a bit more serious and racer-like. However, they overlooked one small thing - they gave an ape the keys to the paint shed, and they went and painted it gold. Yes, gold. This colour... never works. Never. On anything. Let alone one of the worlds most exclusive supercars - they've gone and raped the exterior of this beautiful car with gaudy gold paint, that's what they've done. And this too, should be a criminal offence.

Alright, I understand that this is meant to be a bespoke car - and the sky's the limit really, when it comes to naffness - but did they really have to carry the gold over to the interior? You get: gold inserts on the seats (dimpled, to echo what a rich prick you are), a gold shift lever, gold dashboard inserts, gold stitching in the leather, but then, for some reason, blue dials. Mmmm... yes... But don't forget that you've still got gold coloured alloy wheels and gold coloured engine accents! But do you want to know what Mansory have to say about their distasteful interior?

"Mansory has succeeded in creating the perfect symbiosis of sporting functionality and luxurious environment. [cough, synergy synergy synergy... cough] Only the very best materials have been used in the interior and provide for well-being."

And I am a monkey's bum. It hardly seems to matter that they tuned the SLR's engine up to 571kW - you have a car that provides for your well-being. Which is a bit rich, considering I feel sick every time I look at a picture of the Renovatio - is that well-being?!?!

You had to ask how much, didn't you? Well, the McLaren SLR costs $600,000 - roughly - so you could expect this to be considerably more. And, it'll be... uh... exculsive, anyway - surely no one wants one of these. So the price? Price On Asking. They won't even let me know how much a Renovatio costs. Have you're wallet ready, because a Renovatio costs far more than a renovation. Not that the Domestic Blitz team would get into this - even Shelley Craft isn't this gaudy.
