Gullwing Revival: The Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 Edition GTR
|
[10/01/2007] When Mercedes unveiled the SLR 722 Edition, most questioned whether or not the limited-edition model possessed enough new attributes to justify its added cost over the traditional SLR model. Apparently AMG engineers too felt the SLR 722 Edition was capable of more, so they created what can only be described as jaw-dropingly bad-ass version of the model - titling it the Mercedes SLR 722 GTR - and giving those of you waiting for a modern-day Gullwing revival a EUR 775,000 orgasm-inducing supercar.

Spotted at a Mercedes dealership in Germany, the SLR 722 GTR's feature list is extensive. A widened, re-worked and carbon fiber-laden body; a full roll cage; a new front grille; new venting throughout; an enormous rear diffuser and equally enormous rear wing; OZ racing wheels - these are just some of what to expect from the special-edition model. Oh, and the best part? Despite the modifications, weight has been reduced yet again, with the model dropping 300 kg to weigh in at 2,866 lbs.
As stated, it runs about a million U.S., but with a reported production of only 21 units, the SLR 722 GTR has without question just become the hottest current production Mercedes on the planet.
