Mercedes-Benz SLR722 dimensions

The Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren 722 Edition displays thoroughbred motor-racing attributes, having been designed in close cooperation with the motorsport specialists at the headquarters of the Mclaren Formula-1 team in England. Featuring more than 300 modified elements, the super sports vehicle serves up a boost in output, more dynamic chassis tuning, enhanced aerodynamics and distinctly sporty dashboard attributes to thrill even the most demanding of sports-car enthusiasts.

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 a. Boasting an cool output of 478 Kw/650 hp, the SLR Mclaren 722 Edition super sports vehicle 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 developers at Mercedes-Benz and Mclaren. The new limited-edition series - only 150 models are being manufactured, for the most part hand-crafted, at Mclaren in Woking - is the brand's response to calls from highly discerning SLR buyers for even more sportiness combined with the same high level of everyday practicality.

At the heart of the Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 Edition is a 5. 5-litre V8 supercharged powerplant assembled by hand at the Mercedes-amg motor workshops in Affalterbach, Germany, based on the One man, one motor principle. Among the high-performance powerplant's major strengths are its extremely spontaneous response to accelerator pedal movements, dynamic torque build-up across the entire motor speed range and an unmistakable V8 audio.
