The 1955 Mille Miglia saw the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR win the fastest victory in the history of the event. The machine featured the car number "722", which was incorporated into the name of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition supercar announced at the 2006 Paris Motor Show.
A 5.5 liter supercharged V8 engine was fitted to the SLR's long-nose/short-deck body design. Output from the engine was increased from 626hp to 650hp, while a firmer suspension, 10mm lower ride height, and ceramic front brake discs contribute to heightened agility. This exclusive edition is the polished pinnacle of driving performance, a level which only 150 lucky owners around the world will be able to experience.
