Our favorite from Mercedes-Benz at the Detroit Auto Show is the McLaren SLR Stirling Moss, that will be limited to just 75 units and has a price tag of one million U.S. dollars.

This supercar is powered by a 650 hp supercharged 5.5-liter V8. The car lacks roof and windshield, but still has a top speed of 217 mph ( 350 km/h) and 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) comes in just 3.5 seconds. (Read more about it here.) In addition Mercedes showed the BlueZero Concept, SL65 AMG, S-Class, S63 AMG and few other models.

We have seen a 2-tone black and white SLR before by Mansory. This time Hamann has released a video preview of their new project called Volcano that also has a 2-tone scheme and is based on the SLR McLaren. Previously Hamann has worked on Lamborghini’s, Ferrari’s, Porsche’s and Aston Martin’s.

Hamann Volcano gets a very aggressive rear wing and a roof air scoop, adding some racing cues compared to the base SLR. Other modifications we can see include a new rear diffuser, 3-piece alloy wheels, front skirt, triple exhaust and darkened rear lights. We expect to get more details from Hamann soon, meanwhile take a look at the video preview below.
