The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is a once-in-a-blue-moon icon that has attracted hordes of fans around the world. Yet, only more than 2,000 of them were able to purchase this creation from Mercedes-Benz and McLaren. There’s one person, however, who is really an SLR superfan – to the point that he commissioned McLaren Special Operations (MSO) to create a special SLR edition just for him.

Manny Khoshbin: Avid Mercedes SLR McLaren Superfan

This superfan is no other than real estate millionaire Manny Khoshbin. He has an intense passion for high-powered sports and supercars. While he has an eye for Bugattis and McLarens, he has developed a deep love for a car born from the collaboration between Mercedes and McLaren – the SLR. He doesn’t just have one, he has nine SLRs; the ninth example arrived in October 2021.

While having nine SLRs under one garage might be too many, the Mercedes-McLaren creation is actually difficult to find and expensive to buy. That shows the extent that Manny is willing to go to show his love for SLRs. Perhaps as another way of showing his passion, he decided to give one of the nine SLRs a special treatment by sending it to MSO.

Manny Meets SLR Heritage Edition 1 of 1

MSO has shipped the Mercedes SLR McLaren to Manny after completing its comprehensive transformation into the SLR Heritage Edition 1 of 1. In his Instagram account, Manny noted that almost every corner of the SLR underwent comprehensive reworking. MSO developed bespoke aero parts for sharper track-focused handling and even modified the body and major components to set form, finish and performance apart.

At a quick glance, Manny’s SLR Heritage Edition 1 of 1 may look like a standard SLR. But upon closer inspection, it does have a number of bespoke aerodynamic elements, including the fins on the front fenders and the distinct rear wing with blue highlights. The engine bay also features similar blue highlights. Boasting a roaring exhaust, The SLR Heritage Edition 1 of 1 rides on polished five-spoke wheels from MSO.

Leather-Rich Interior With Special Badge

Inside, the SLR Heritage Edition 1 of 1 is laden with leather. Blue leather trims the entire cabin, while white leather wraps the steering wheel. Special patterns adorn the car’s seats, which come marked with ‘Heritage Edition 1 of 1’ badge.

By the way the SLR sounds, as Manny steps on the gas, perhaps its engine also received some tuning work. Of course, it could be just the exhaust.
