Mercedes SLR 722 S - new images available

Mercedes revealed today a new image gallery of the 2009 SLR Roadster 722 S that made its world debut at the Paris Auto Show. The 722 S will be limited to only 150 units and will be available by January 1, 2009.

Under the hood of the new 722 S there is the same supercharged 5.5-liter V8 engine that is found in the standard SLR roadster. The 722’s engine is reworked to make 650 hp — a 26 hp bump over the standard SLR roadster.

It makes the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds and can hit a top speed of 208 mph.
