2007 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition For Sale - 3,845 Miles,
The Ultimate Iteration Of The SLR LMC is very proud to offer for
sale this 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition Mercedes-Benz
had been providing competitive engines to McLaren's Formula One
team since the mid-1990s, and over the course of the following 15
years, McLaren F1 cars racked up numerous victories. As companies
were integral to the success of the F1 program, Mercedes-Benz
acquired 40 percent of the McLaren Group, and to celebrate the two
companies produced their first road car together, the Mercedes-Benz
SLR McLaren. The SLR was introduced in November 2003, and
immediately went head-to-head against the likes of the Ferrari Enzo
and Porsche Carrera GT. As the SLR was a great road car,
Mercedes-Benz feedback demanded a car that was sportier than the
SLR but just as practical. In 2007, introduced the much improved
and sportier 722 Edition, which answered the needs of their more
hardcore clientele. 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. Nearly every aspect
of the SLR was upgraded for the 722 Edition, with more than 300
different components compared to base version. Power from the same
M155 5.4L Supercharged V8 rose from 617 to 650 horsepower helping
the 0-60 time drop to 3.6 seconds. Ride height was lowered by 10
millimeters, new 19-inch alloy wheels were developed to fit larger
carbon-ceramic brake rotors, and a new carbon fiber front splitter
increased front downforce by 128 percent. Incredibly, despite the
significant downforce increase, the drag coefficient of the 722 is
also reduced. Alcantara and carbon fiber replaced much of the
leather and aluminum trim throughout the interior, giving the car a
sportier, more updated feel. Compared to its rivals, most
significantly the Ferrari Enzo and Porsche Carrera GT, the 722
Edition represents breathtaking performance, unrivaled exclusivity,
and tremendous value in a package that can be easily driven and
enjoyed. This SLR 722 Edition offered here was sold new at Mercedes
Benz of South Bay in Torrance, California and ordered in Crystal
Antimony Grey Metallic, a color exclusively for the 722, over
Semi-Aniline black leather and Alcantara interior. With only 3,845
miles from new, it presents in outstanding condition with a
continuous service history from 2008, with services done by
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer including a fresh major servce with
new spark plugs. Included with the sale are the owner's manuals,
spare key, window sticker, and service records. The SLR McLaren
will forever remain one the most special modern Mercedes Benz
sports cars with the uprated and extremely limited 722 Edition
being the most coveted. With a strong racing lineage and impressive
modern performance, the SLR 722 is one of the most collectible
Mercedes Benz performance cars to date. As such, this pampered,
low-mileage example represents a rare opportunity for collectors
and fans of Formula One lore to own a significant milestone in
supercar history. Additional Details: -
