Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010)[]

The Stirling Moss appears in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) as an Exotic Series racer vehicle.

The racer vehicle is unlocked upon the player earning a total of 521,250 racer bounty.

It has a high top speed alongside the Pagani Zonda Cinque and acceleration which is up on par with the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The Stirling Moss is one of the best cars in its class because of these perks, along with its strong nitrous and responsive handling.

Description

“Open Motoring Gains a New Meaning”

This is the pinnacle of the highly successful SLR (Sport, Leicht, Rennsport or Sport, Light, Racing), and also a tribute to Sir Sterling Moss who drove the legendary SLR racecars to victory in the 1950's for Mercedes Benz. Only 75 units were produced with each costing well over $1,000,000.

Although not designed for the track, the car is able to generate even more downforce thanks to an enlarged rear diffuser. The car is 200 kg lighter than the 722 Edition and able to achieve a higher speed of 217 mph.

Noticeably absent are a roof, windshield or side windows meaning that anyone wanting to drive the car at speed should invest in a pair of goggles.
