Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster 722 S

A limited edition, more exclusive and, as far as convertibles go, more distinctive than most, that will be presented in Paris according to plan. The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster 722 S is a small series of the convertible version of the SLR; with it, we can enjoy 650 horsepower with the top down, coming from a 5.5-litre supercharged V8 built by AMG.

To welcome this power increase, the suspension has been given a more dynamic setup that lowers its ride height by 10 mm, along with more refined aerodynamics. However, not many will be able to enjoy these 24 extra horsepower, as McLaren only intends to build 150 units.

In addition, these upgrades take it up to 335 km/h, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration of just 3.7 seconds. Obviously, we will see those numbers with the roof folded down, but that takes nothing away from its merits or its fun… it is very fast. It also pushes its current record for “most powerful automatic-gearbox car” a little higher.

Amid the lights and flashes, a few photos to see it in more detail:
