"That car is the Mercedes-Benz SLR, but not a typical SLR - a slightly updated, slightly more powerful and slightly ***ier SLR "722 Edition."

Named to honor British racing legend Stirling Moss' and co-driver Denis Jenkinson's victory at the Mille Miglia in 1955, a race won by a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR with starting number 722, the SLR 722 Edition features a supercharged 5.5-Liter V8 producing 478kW/650 horsepower, as opposed to the standard SLR's 460kW/626 horsepower. The result is a supercar capable of accelerating from 0-62 mph in a mere 3.6 seconds (standard SLR: 3.8 seconds), 0-124 mph in 10.2 seconds (standard SLR: 10.6 seconds), and achieving a top speed of 209.4 mph (standard SLR: 207.5 mph).

In addition to the power enhancements, the new SLR 722 Edition also features a number of other tweaks as well. Nineteen-inch light-alloy wheels, a stiffer damper configuration, a ten-millimeter reduction in height, larger brake discs, and a modified front spoiler and rear diffuser all reflect subtle hints this isn't a typical Mercedes SLR McLaren."



BTW the Brabus SLR is 660 hp but I prefer the historical hints to 10hp more

plate gave it way, but it doesn't have the carbon splitter like the 722?
it also sports a miniature black wing mirror above its silevr one for seeing back around corners behind you
