In 2007, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the 722 Edition<\/a> as a tribute to the legendary racing driver Stirling Moss’s remarkable victory at the 1955 Mille Miglia in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR numbered 722. Limited to just 150 units, the SLR 722 Edition showcased notable enhancements over the standard SLR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Equipped with a supercharged 5.4-liter V-8, the 722 Edition generated an impressive 641 horsepower and 605 pounds of torque allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds with a claimed top speed of 209 mph.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This special edition model featured various improvements, including a modified engine, a carbon-fiber front splitter, and rear diffuser. The 19-inch lightweight alloy wheels, upgraded suspension with lighter Koni dampers, a 10mm lowered ride height, revised aerodynamics, black-tinted headlights and tail lights, and carbon-ceramic brake discs all contributed to its distinctive character.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inside, the 722 Edition showcased Alcantara and carbon fiber, replacing much of the leather and aluminum trim. This transformation gave the 722’s interior with a sportier and more exotic feel.<\/p>\n
