2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition for sale
£599,950
Overview:
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition is a uniquely intriguing supercar that emerged following the turn of the millennium. It is based on the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, which debuted in 2003 and was developed jointly by Mercedes-Benz and its then-Formula 1 partner McLaren. The car was assembled at McLaren's facility in Woking, England, and drew from Mercedes-Benz's contemporary design language and world-class engineering. Unlike its competitors such as the Porsche Carrera GT and Ferrari Enzo, the SLR McLaren featured a front-mid-engine chassis configuration and boasted everyday usability more typical of a traditional grand tourer. The 722 Edition, launched as a coupe in 2006 and a Roadster in 2009, took the already impressive model to the next level with enhancements such as a reworked supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 engine, a lower, stiffer suspension, and lightweight 19-inch alloy wheels.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance:
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition is equipped with a supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 engine that produces 641 horsepower and 605 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission and can accelerate from zero-to-62 mph in just 3.1 seconds, with a top speed of 208 mph.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo:
The interior of the SLR McLaren 722 Edition features new bucket seats and a steering wheel, both upholstered in semi-aniline leather and Alcantara. The cabin is accented by Red seat belts and stitching, and the model's name and subtle "722" badging is highly significant, referencing the starting number of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Stirling Moss and co-driver Denis Jenkinson piloted to victory in the 1955 Mille Miglia.
Pricing and Which One to Buy:
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition is priced at £599,950 and is a stunning example of one of the most exclusive supercars of the modern era. With just 150 SLR McLaren 722 examples produced, the model was destined from the start to be exclusive. The car we are delighted to offer for sale completed production in November 2006 and is finished in Crystal Galaxite Metallic paint over a Black Alcantara and leather interior. Additional factory options include 19-inch Palladium Grey wheels with Silver lip, Sports Package, CD Changer, Mobile Pre-Installation Kit, Sports Steering Wheel, 722 Embossed Headrests, Large Size Seats, and Red Brake Callipers.
