Paris 2008: Mercedes Mclaren SLR 722S Roadster

October 6, 2008

mercedes-slr-722s-roadsterI am a bit sick of special edition SLRs really, there seems to be an endless streak of special editions lately. We all know that the SLR is about to phased out and the upcoming speedster is the last of the SLRs, but all the special edition models seems as if the SLR is one model that just refuses to die, something like a villain in a James Bond movie who gets shot by an entire army regiment, blown-up, torched, nuked and still comes back to stab Bond with a tooth-pick, only to be shot in the head, great.

Sure, special edition’s are that much faster, accelerate harder, shift quicker, are lighter, have extensive carbon-fiber works, but it’s still an SLR, get over it already. I’m done whining. The SLR Mclaren 722 S Roadster features 650hp from a supercharged 5.5-liter V8 and a convertible soft-top that’ll stay put at speeds above 320km/h. Of course, it’s engine is hand-built and uses some very very exclusive materials that are almost impossbile to pronounce and no you cannot have it, only 150 other people would be able to own it.  Other than that, it’s a SLR.

    LOL!

    “Another SLR roadster”

    Keshy bro, the day we actually see this car on the road will be the day the world truly gets sick of the SLR roadster.

    Besides, it’s a kickass ride! Ugly to a certain extent but it’s a Merc. Can’t be that bad?

    There is an SLR on the road. I was passed by one last year near cheras. The car still isn’t registered on the road yet as it was carrying trade plates. In fact there are a lot of supercars already in Malaysia. Its just that we can hardly spot them here. There is a Bugatti EB110 in Kg Subang in a workshop. A Ferarri 308, 550 Maranello (Which was siezed by customs few years ago), and many more that we don’t get to see often as they only come out Sundays.

    you’re right izso.. but I have to surf the world over to look for news.. and there’s always something about an SLR.. “man buys most expensive number plate for his SLR”.. “someone tunes the SLR so now its faster”..”lighter SLR”.. lightning quick SLR.. wtf.. I am a bit sick of it already.. but I have to admit to looking forward to the speedster though.. that’ll be something new.. hehe..

    Reventon : the car that impossible to touch Malaysian soil..
  6. netmatrix on October 8th, 2008 7:46 pm
    Reventon…. only 20 units. Its not possible to get one even if any of the malaysian billionaire wants one. Probabaly trade or buy second hand from some middle east owner. hehehe.

    “Say…..Mr Hameed! Do you want to trade my F50 for your Reventon? I’ll top it up with a new Fiat 500 Arbarth for your wife? Deal?”
