Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition

Description

For Mercedes-Benz, "SLR 722 Edition" was an obvious name for the new model variant as it evokes memories of the unforgettable victory achieved in 1955 by the British motor-racing legend Stirling Moss and his co-pilot Dennis Jenkinson at Mille Miglia - the classic Italian endurance race - behind the wheel of a Mercedes Benz 300 SLR with start number 722 (denoting the car's start time of 7.22 am). Boasting an impressive output of 478 kW/650 hp, the new SLR McLaren 722 Edition super sports car not only out-performs its historic forefather, it even outstrips the scintillating peak performance of the current SLR model - a technical masterstroke on the part of the engineers at Mercedes-Benz and McLaren. The new limited-edition series - only 150 models are being produced, for the most part hand-crafted, at McLaren in Woking - is the brand's response to calls from highly discerning SLR customers for even more sportiness combined with the same high level of everyday practicality.
