SLR 722 Edition
Pedigree.
Every year since 2005, the SLR.CLUB has been represented in the field of starters for the Mille Miglia classic car race. Accorded to the SLR as the only contemporary automobile, this honour is owed to a very special link with the “most beautiful race in the world”: Stirling Moss’s legendary victory in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR racing car in the 1955 Mille Miglia.

Technical details emphasise the expressive temperament of the SLR 722 Edition. To begin with, the front end boasts a striking profile. The distinctively shaped air splitter in visible carbon fibre increases the downforce on the front axle, affording the vehicle even preciser handling at high speeds. A further design statement with a clear technical background is made by the striking, entirely functional look of the 19-inch forged aluminium wheels. Their low weight reduces the unsprung mass to improve the damping characteristics of the SLR 722 Edition.

The optimal traction of the SLR 722 Edition is guaranteed by its perfectly matched components. For example, the car is lowered by 10 mm for improved handling as well as to underscore its dynamic character. Yet more precision work on the aerodynamic detailing is apparent in the rear wheel arches of the SLR 722 Edition, where air turbulence is reduced by wheel spoilers of visible carbon fibre.

With its characteristic styling and abundance of power, the SLR 722 Edition is a logical follow-on to its iconic predecessor. Exploiting the technological possibilities of the 21st century, it delivers a contemporary reinterpretation of its illustrious ancestor. The SLR 722 Edition is a vehicle with a strong heart and soul, its high-performance powerplant lending it an unmistakable athleticism.

With its progressive elegance and ample refinement in the choice of materials, the SLR 722 Edition sets new standards of interior design. For example, the seats are upholstered in black semi-aniline leather and Alcantara. A striking contrast is created by intentionally prominent seams in 300 SL red, “722” embossing on the head restraints and similarly red seat belts. A further detail is a badge with “722 Edition” lettering underneath the gear lever.
