A continuing tradition: the new model variant SLR "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 at the Mille Miglia in 1955. With an output of 478 kW/650 hp and a corresponding performance, the new super sports car, which goes on sale on July 11, will not only make the hearts of car enthusiasts beat faster. The new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition displays thoroughbred motor-racing attributes, having been developed in close cooperation with the motorsport specialists at the headquarters of the McLaren Formula-1 team in England. Featuring more than 300 modified components, the super sports car serves up a boost in output, more dynamic chassis tuning, improved aerodynamics and distinctly sporty interior appointments to thrill even the most demanding of sports-car enthusiasts. At the heart of the SLR 722 Edition is a V8 supercharged powerplant assembled by hand at the Mercedes-AMG engine workshops in Affalterbach, Germany, based on the "One man, one engine" 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 engine speed range and an unmistakable V8 sound. Further modifications were made to influence the interplay of the engine with the gearshift. For each of the individually selectable transmission modes – M (Manual) and S (Sport) on the one hand and C (Comfort) on the other – there is now a different accelerator pedal characteristic curve which has been optimised in line with the very different operating conditions that apply in each case. The end result is an extremely impressive set of performance figures, even by high-end super sports car standards: the SLR 722 Edition completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a breathtaking seconds (SLR seconds), going on to achieve 200 km/h in just seconds (SLR seconds) and 300 km/h in a mere seconds (SLR seconds). Plus the top speed of 337 km/h is even higher than that of the current SLR (334 km/h). Handling characteristics worthy of the racetrack are also provided by the sophisticated suspension, with 19-inch light-alloy wheels, a stiffer damper configuration and a ten-millimetre-lower body. Larger brake discs with a diameter of 390 mm ensure excellent braking performance. Discreet visual modifications mark the SLR "722 Edition" out as special, in line with the wishes of the enthusiastic gentleman drivers and wealthy sports car collectors who make up the core target group. The modified front spoiler with an air splitter, as well as the rear diffuser, improve both the aerodynamics and contact pressure at high speeds, and reflect the transfer of cutting-edge technology from motor racing. At the same time, the use of clear-lacquered carbon as an extremely strong yet lightweight material symbolises the practicality of these technical features. Bucket-type sports seats upholstered in leather/Alcantara provide outstanding lateral support, while the grippier racing steering wheel with a hunting-leather lining, gearshift paddles and black carbon highlights lend a thoroughbred racing touch to the interior. New chassis set-up for further enhanced handling dynamics One of the main driving forces behind the further improved performance of the SLR 722 Edition is the retuned chassis. Development work at McLaren’s Formula-1 headquarters was based on the SLR’s proven aluminium chassis set-up. In the first phase of development, various chassis parameters, such as springing and damping, underwent a series of tests on the Formula-1 dynamometer in Woking. Then the Mercedes-Benz and McLaren engineers made further refinements and finalised the new set-up by performing an extensive series of tests on the road and, above all, on the race track. The stiffer spring rates and shock-absorber characteristics of the chassis (body lowered by 10 mm at both the front and rear) are what gives the SLR 722 Edition its increased directional stability and noticeably further enhanced handling dynamics. Body roll on bends has been reduced by over 20 percent, allowing the new SLR 722 Edition to corner at even greater speeds. New 19-inch forged-aluminium wheels also improve the handling dynamics of the special-edition model, their unique, palladium grey design highlighting the car’s motor-racing heritage. Their low weight, compared to ordinary tires, reduces the unsprung masses, making the SLR 722 Edition even more responsive. Plus the 19-inch wheels allow larger brake discs with a diameter of 390 mm to be fitted on the front axle. Hailing from the Italian manufacturer “Brembo”, the new braking system combines with the carbon fibre-reinforced ceramic discs to provide a highly impressive deceleration rate which is fully in keeping with the SLR 722 Edition’s scintillating all-round performance. Extensive tests were carried out to develop a new ESP® control system for this new brake configuration. An aerodynamic work of art: even more downforce and an improved cd figure Around 100 hours of meticulous work in the wind tunnel also helped boost the performance of the SLR 722 Edition. Here the developers performed yet another technical masterstroke by increasing downforce whilst at the same time reducing the Cd (drag coefficient) figure. At higher speeds, lower aerodynamic drag generally means lower so in the case of the SLR 722 Edition though, which has an "airsplitter" at its front end. Consisting of carbon with a clear-coat finish, the distinctively shaped spoiler lip not only enhances aerodynamics, it also increases the downforce on the front axle by 128 percent. Small wheel spoilers, also finished in carbon, reduce air swirl at the rear axle, making for smoother airflow and optimising road feel. If the 13-percent increase in rear-end downforce is also added into the equation, the new SLR 722 Edition provides 122 kg total downforce. In the 35° high-downforce position of the airbrake, the total downforce is increased by another 50 kg. The result: an even more reliable handling and more precise turn-in at high speeds. In addition, the rear-mounted airbrake optimises directional stability and braking power. When the speed exceeds 120 km/h, it rises up at an angle that has been adjusted in line with the extremely dynamic performance of the new model. If the driver hits the brakes hard in an emergency, the airbrake is automatically raised. This dynamic modification increases rear-axle downforce within a fraction of a second, thus partially compensating for the dynamic axle load distribution during braking, which has a tendency to press towards the front axle. A further factor which contributes to the distinctly sports-oriented configuration is the weight of the SLR 722 Edition, which the engineers have reduced by around 44 kg. A lighter oil tank and damper bodies made from aluminium, which have the added benefit of improving the vibration response of the unsprung masses, make for less weight. Furthermore, various parts and components have been replaced by carbon, including in the footwell and at the rear wheel arches. Last but not least, optimised panelling and insulating materials also have a positive effect on the vehicle weight. Yet for all these measures, the high levels of comfort, safety and practicality that have become Mercedes hallmarks remain unaffected. The complete performance package at the heart of the SLR 722 Edition really comes into its own when matched with a sporty driving style. This is when the true benefits of the improved cornering ability, the higher lateral acceleration and the even more agile handling really make themselves felt. Sporty design through and through In terms of exterior design, the SLR 722 Edition features discreet sporty touches, thereby satisfying the desires of keen gentleman drivers and affluent sports-car collectors – the core target group – to the letter. The new-look 19-inch light-alloy wheels afford an uninterrupted view of the red-painted brake callipers and the large brake discs, emphasising the sheer power and performance that underpins every aspect of the new SLR. In addition, individual components in carbon with a clear-coat finish highlight the close ties with Formula 1. Plus the grille-style design of the black-painted air outlets on the bonnet, not to mention the palladium grey-trimmed front- and tail-light clusters, blend in perfectly with the carbon-fibre look. The SLR 722 Edition is available with a crystal antimony grey paint finish which creates a vivid impression of depth and produces an extremely intensive-looking surface structure. Moving inside, the sports bucket seats, upholstered in a combination of semi-aniline leather and Alcantara, offer excellent lateral support, while the colour contrast provided by the distinctive "300-SL-red" stitching throughout the interior, the 722 insignia on the head restraints and the red seat belts is designed to deliver maximum appeal. The attractive material mix comprising semi-aniline leather and Alcantara, which gives the interior its characteristic look and feel, also features prominently on the roof lining and door panels. Frequently used controls, such as the shift lever and handbrake lever, are trimmed in easy-grip, moisture-absorbing suede. The sporty design philosophy that underpins the SLR 722 Edition is also reflected by the widespread use of carbon throughout the interior. This material, straight from the world of Formula 1, lends the centre console an extremely puristic look. The new-look instrument cluster focuses the driver’s attention on the key vehicle data, featuring classic-style dials with a signal-red background. Plus the practicality of the multifunction display is augmented by an extremely sporty touch in the shape of the AMG RACETIMER. Finally the designers paid special attention to the steering wheel as the key link between driver and car: with its combined leather/suede trim, the rim is extremely easy to grip and helps to driver to remain master of the situation when driving at high speed. Exclusive "SLR. Club" for SLR owners Before the sales release date, customers and selected guests will have the advance opportunity to appraise the new SLR "722 Edition". This is to mark the foundation of the worldwide "SLR. Club" at the Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, southern France.

The new special edition was named in honor of Stirling Moss’s incredible win at the 1955 Mille Miglia in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR, car number 722. The SLR McLaren 722 Edition was limited to just 150 units, and only about 25 of these are believed to have been brought to North America. With more than 300 modified components, nearly every aspect
Mar 08, 2021 at 1:55pm ET Neither the Lexus LFA nor the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition Roadster is on the market anymore, but they still have impressive performance. In this video from Lovecars, Tiff Needel gets behind the wheel of the Lexus, and the owner is at the controls of the SLR for the drag race. The LFA remains a very special supercar in large part because of its naturally aspirated V10 engine that can rev to 9,500 rpm. The result is one of the best-sounding road cars ever. Gallery: 2010 Lexus LFA Before McLaren got really serious about building its own vehicles, there was the SLR as a joint venture with Mercedes. It packed a supercharged V8 with extra tuning for the 722 Edition making 641 horsepower (478 kilowatts), which was 84 hp (63 kW) more than the standard version. Gallery: Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster 722 S Revealed The LFA doesn't have launch control, so Needel just slams down the throttle with traction control on. He gets a good start, but the SLR is clearly the quicker machine. Lovecars doesn't post the times for the drag race, but the Lexus appears to be a couple of car lengths behind the Mercedes. For the second race, Needel tries turning off the traction control. The result is quite a show because the LFA spins its tires through first, second, and third gear. This smoke show slows down the Lexus quite a bit, but is an impressive sight. More Drag Races To Watch: This was supposed to be a best-of-three race, but Needel probably deserved another chance. Running it without traction control was clearly a failed experiment, so he should have got a second chance. The LFA and SLR are old enough that both Toyota and Mercedes-Benz are both working on new hypercars. The Mercedes-AMG AMG One packs a Formula-One-derived powertrain with a turbocharged V6 and four electric motors. The company is making just 275 of them for $ million each. Meanwhile, the Toyota GR Super Sport aims to be a road-going version of the brand's new Le Mans racer.
Lift the bonnet and you reveal the SLR’s monster 5.4-litre supercharged V8, which is set a metre behind the centreline of the front wheels and remains unchanged from the standard 722 spec A 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition, once owned by six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan, is for sale. The SLR McLaren 722 Edition honors one of Stirling Moss's wins in 1955 and has black wheels, a stiffer and lower suspension, added aero, carbon trim, and a more powerful supercharged V-8. It's listed for $695,750 by Crave Luxury Auto in Houston, Texas. Michael Jordan is widely considered the greatest basketball player of all time (we won't get into the MJ vs. LeBron debate), and the six-time NBA champion has owned some of the greatest cars as well. A handful of them were shown briefly in ESPN's The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary about the final season of Jordan's Chicago Bulls dynasty in the 1990s. One of his cars, an SLR McLaren, which wasn't shown in the series, is up for sale with just over 1000 miles. Crave Luxury Auto The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren was a joint venture between McLaren's Formula 1 team and Mercedes and was produced between 2003 and 2010. Jordan's example is a 722 Edition, a limited edition introduced in 2006 that honors the late Stirling Moss and his co-driver Denis Jenkinson's victory in a 300 SLR with the starting number 722 at the Mille Miglia in 1955. It's finished in Crystal Antimony Grey with black 19-inch wheels and has a stiffer suspension with a lower ride height plus larger front brakes and upgraded aero. There's also red "722" badging and tinted head- and taillights, and the interior features carbon-fiber and Alcantara trim. A supercharged supercharged V-8 is under the hood. In the 722 Edition, it spits out 641 horsepower and 605 pound-feet of torque, increases of 24 horsepower and 30 pound-feet over the standard SLR's supercharged eight-cylinder engine. At launch, Mercedes touted a sprint to 60 mph in the more powerful 722 Edition, though in our testing, a standard SLR clocked in at the same time and raced through the quarter-mile in seconds at 125 mph. Crave Luxury Auto An eBay auction for the car ended on January 3 without meeting the reserve; however, the selling dealer told Car and Driver that it's going live on eBay again on January 4. The asking price is currently $695,750. This content is imported from {embed-name}.

Mercedes-Benz | Mercedes-AMG Click to rate this post[Total: 1 Average: 5]In 1995, the McLaren F1 Team inked the papers with Mercedes-Benz to purchase racing engines from the German carmaker for their top motorsports team. Admittedly, the results were not that spectacular in the beginning. But eventually, the team managed to win the Manufacturers’ Championship in 1998. The following year, in 1999, the German carmaker unveiled the Vision SLR concept car at the North American International Motor Show. It looked so radical that no one believed they were going to make it. Fast forward to 2003, and the German carmaker owned 40% of the McLaren Group. Nevertheless, there were few to believe that they would build a vehicle together. And yet, in the year’s autumn, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the three-pointed-star brand unveiled the supercar. It was named SLR after the original 1955 race car and was abbreviated for Sport, Leicht, and Rennsport (Sport, Light, Racing). But the 2003 car was just a teaser. It sported a supercharged engine carried over from AMG, but it wasn’t the production version. That came two years later, fitted with a powerplant that produced 626 hp (617 PS) and sent its 780 Nm (575 lb-ft) torque to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission with Touchshift control, which enabled the driver to manually change gears. But that wasn’t all! The bodywork was made with carbon-fiber-reinforced-plastic (CFRP) materials to be lighter. Moreover, it was fitted with massive carbon-fiber brakes for those times: 370 mm up front and 360 mm out back. Moreover, at the back, on the trunk lid, an adjustable wing served as an aerodynamic brake. It could have been engaged either automatically or at the touch of a button on the steering wheel. But the sales were slow. Moreover, it was a $300,000 supercar which, despite its prestigious brand, was not offered by a supercar maker. Then, to add insult to injury, in 2007, the world financial crisis hit the market, and the sales plummeted even more. Thus, in 2009, the carmaker decided to pull the plug on the SLR, but not before launching this incredible version: the SLR Stirling Moss edition. The carmaker stated at that time that this final version of the SLR was “a legitimate bearer of the name of the British motor racing legend and Mille Miglia record-holder Stirling Moss, who drove the legendary Mercedes-Benz SLR racing cars from victory to victory in 1955.” The car was based on the SLR 722 Roadster edition. It had just an inch ( cm) of a windshield in front of the driver and an even shorter one in front of the passenger. In addition, Mercedes-Benz provided the car with two pairs of leather helmets and goggles to protect the occupants’ eyes. Moreover, the styling was even more radical than on the regular SLR. This time, the carmaker asked for no more, no less, than 750,000 Euros (911,291 Euros in today’s money, or $958,679). All 75 units were produced by the end of 2009, and all were immediately sold, becoming collectibles. Under the hood, Mercedes-Benz installed the evolved version of the original engine offering 650 PS (641 hp), and it could rocket from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 kph) in 3 seconds flat. As a bonus, it could keep going up to 350 kph (217 mph). The powerplant was still mated to a five-speed automatic transmission fitted with paddle-shifters behind the steering wheel. It wasn’t the fastest production car on the planet, though. That title already belonged to the Bugatti Veyron. The story doesn’t end here. Fast forward 13 years later, and the SLR Stirling Moss edition is a hard find on auctioning sites. Yet, there were some rumors that one of them recently traded hands for million Euros in Europe, while another vehicle is waiting for a customer at a $ million price in Dubai. In 2011, one example was for sale in the for $ million. But given that they are barely popping up at auctions, their price might go above the $3 million shortly. Moreover, the cars were available in a few colors, and the four or two (the numbers were not confirmed) white ones are even more expensive today. If you can’t stretch to one of these gems, you may go for the next best thing: a regular roadster. Those may be found for around $600,000, and their price will rise as well. nusBR. 457 362 279 67 163 9 144 25 277
