MBZ SLR 722 Anyone???



Mercedes has unveiled a new special edition SLR called the "722 Edition." The car has increased output of 650 horsepower, a tailor-made suspension configuration, and a decidedly sporty interior. 722 Edition" is a homage by Mercedes-Benz to the unforgettable victory won by the British racing legend Stirling Moss and his co-driver Denis Jenkinson in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR with the starting number 722 (indicating a start time of 7.22 a.m.) at the Mille Miglia in 1955. The car accelerates from standstill to 62 mph in only 3.6 seconds, and 124 mph is reached in just 10.2 seconds. The maximum speed is 209 mph.

sweet car! Amazing piece of machinary but for the money I would never buy one. There is just so much more you can buy for that price tag that would make more sense(for me at least).

I like it...just not the wheels. Swap those, and the car is perfect. I agree in that the price tag is a bit high...but it is a car you can easily use everyday in relalative comfort. Granted you can use a Carrera GT everyday too as some people do, but it's a harsher ride.

Dear god..

That is one of the nicest looking cars I have seen in a VERY long time. I see SLR's quite alot around my house (there are two within a 3 block radius) but this thing takes the cake.
