Renntech SLR McLaren 722 PKG2

When Mercedes decided that it’s time to boost the engine power for this lovely SLR supercar they created the limited edition SLR722. A lot of people thought that 722 comes from the power developed by the 5.5L V8 engine of this car while others thought that there will be built only 722 cars like this one. But they were all wrong. In fact the car’s name comes from the Mille Miglia from 1955 where Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson won with a Mercedes-Benz 300SLR in front of race favorties like Ferrari and Porsche. The car had the racing number 722 which was the exact hour of race start 7:22 am.

Last year, the car tuning company Renntech ended this confusion and boosted this car’s power from the initial 650 HP to 722 HP. The PKG1 kit included new intercoolers and modified engine cooling unit that will add this slight boost of power.

Mercedes McLaren SLR 772 Edition by Brabus

About 15 years ago, McLaren F1 was declared the best car in the world and a lot of people believed that you can’t do anything better than that. But the years have passed, the “silver arrows” – as McLaren are called in Formula 1 –  managed to win a couple of world titles with Mercedes and they have proven that they’re really good at creating sport cars and racing. A couple of years ago, they’ve decided to take a new step and create a great sport car again and this is how the Mercedes SLR McLaren was created. The car is fabulous with a supreme design and performances that make you tremble when you’re driving one. The price might be really expensive for most of us, but those the feelings you’ll have when you’re driving a Mercedes SLR are priceless.
