The supercharged beast that is the SLR 722 Edition is a homage to the victory won by Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson at Mille Miglia in 1955.
The car features a supercharged 5.5 liter V-8 Engine That displaces 650 BHP. This engine has several high points to it. The first and perhaps the most notable to the driver is the immediate response to movements of the accelerator. The next is the highly emphatic torque build-up. Finally the unmistakable V-8 sound. This monstrous engine allows the car to be propelled from zero to sixty in just 3.6 seconds, with 124 mph coming just 6.6 seconds later. Eventually it will reach its peak speed of 209 mph, up 2 mph from the previous peak speed of the old SLR
The Handling Characteristics worthy of the racetrack are also provided by the sophisticated suspension. The car features 19 inch alloy wheels with stiffer damper configuration. It is also .4 inches closer to the ground than the previous model. Larger brakes also ensure excellent braking performance.
There are several discreet visual modifications made to draw the target group of wealthy sports car collectors and enthusiastic drivers. The first thing is a modified front spoiler and air splitter. This is coupled with a rear diffuser, together they improve aero dynamics and contact pressure. The use of clear lacquered carbon as an extremely strong, but still lightweight material that symbolizes the practicality of these technical features. Bucket type sports seats upholstered in leather provide lateral support, while the racing steering wheel, gearshift paddles, and black carbon highlights lend a thoroughbred racing touch to the interior.
