The heart of any car is its engine, and that of the SLR McLaren is truly outstanding. Produced at Mercedes-Benz's AMG performance division, it is a 5.5-litre, 24-valve, supercharged V8 producing 617bhp, making it one of the most powerful engines ever found in a series-produced road-going sports car. Impressive though this peak horsepower figure is, it is the torque produced by this state-of-the-art 'blown' motor that is its most remarkable feature. The torque curve is almost flat: there is already 440lb/ft by 1,500 rpm and well over 500lb/ft between 3,000 and 5,000 revs. As
Car & Driver
magazine observed: "This lends mind-boggling elasticity to the SLR, with passing performance that has to be felt to be appreciated."
Reflecting the long-term technological collaboration that Mercedes-Benz and McLaren enjoyed in Formula 1, the SLR's carbon fibre composite monocoque body/chassis structure was produced in the latter's then all-new facility in Woking, England. Topping off this technological tour de force is the electronically controlled rear spoiler.
Needless to say, the SLR McLaren delivers performance figures that are still among the best in its class. Taking just 3.8 seconds to sprint from 0-100km/h (62mph), it passes the 200km/h (125mph) mark after 10.6 seconds and from a standing start takes just 28.8 seconds to reach 300km/h (186mph). The two-seater has a top speed of 334km/h (207mph). The five-speed automatic transmission was specially optimised for very high torque and also offered the driver the option of choosing between different shift characteristics using the Speedshift system.
In 2006 Mercedes-Benz introduced the '722 Edition, the '722' referring to the victory in the 1955 Mille Miglia of Stirling Moss and his co-driver Denis Jenkinson, whose Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR had the starting number '722' (indicating a start time of 7:22 a.m.). The 722 Editions are highly sought after, with only 150 produced, and numerous upgrades over the standard car including a power boost to 641hp, revised dampers and aerodynamic upgrades.
Offered from the vendor's extensive private collection in the Middle East, this example has been on static display since acquisition hence the low mileage of just 131km recorded on the odometer. It is finished in the very attractive and rare Crystal Digenit Blue metallic paintwork, with tan leather interior. The car will require recommissioning before returning to the road. The only documentation offered with the car consists of a (photocopy) registration card.
