SLR Club Tour du Soleil 2014

The Mercedes-Benz SLR Club is, as you may have guessed, a large club of Mercedes-McLaren SLR owners who often meet to participate in group drive events, car shows and other automotive-related outings. One of the club’s largest gatherings, the Tour du Solel 2014, recently came to a close after participants drove well over 1000 km from the Provence region of France to Barcelona, Spain.

Many different variations of Mercedes SLR models participated in the 5-day Tour du Soleil. Among them were multiple 1 of 75 SLR Sterling Moss models and coupe and roadster variants of the high performance 722 Edition. The stunning scenery provided an excellent backdrop throughout the entire tour as the convoy of supercars travelled through Europe.
