Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

Mercedes-Benz quoted 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and a 332 km/h top speed for the SLR McLaren Roadster.

The SLR McLaren's M155 was a hand-assembled, supercharged 5,439 cc V8 producing 460 kW, or 626 PS.

The SLR McLaren used the SBC electrohydraulic braking system with carbon-fibre-reinforced ceramic brake discs.

Mercedes-Benz stated that the SLR's carbon structure was about 30% lighter than a comparable front-mid-engined sports car with a steel body.

The SLR McLaren was the first series-production Mercedes in which the complete body-in-white, monocoque, doors and panels were made from carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic.

Mercedes-Benz states that around 2,000 SLR McLarens were built across five variants.

The SLR McLaren production program ran from 2004 to 2009.

The SLR McLaren was built by McLaren in Woking, United Kingdom.

The 722 Edition name referenced the number 722 carried by Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson's winning Mercedes 300 SLR in the 1955 Mille Miglia.

The SLR McLaren was developed jointly by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, which had been Mercedes's Formula One partner since 1995.
