One of the Ultimate Front-Engine Supercars Ever Built
Some automobiles define an era. Others become instant legends. The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 S Roadster belongs firmly in the latter category, representing the final and most focused evolution of one of the greatest grand touring supercars ever created.
Developed through the collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, the 722 S Roadster combined Formula 1 engineering, handcrafted British assembly, and German V8 muscle into a limited-production open-top supercar unlike anything before or since.
This exceptional 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 S Roadster is one of only 150 examples produced worldwide, presented in outstanding original condition with first paint, just 24,875 km, and offered with VAT.
Inspired by Motorsport History
The “722” designation pays tribute to Sir Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson, whose victorious Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR started the 1955 Mille Miglia at 7:22 a.m., securing one of the most celebrated victories in motorsport history.
Rather than serving as a cosmetic package, the 722 S represented a genuine performance upgrade over the standard SLR Roadster, becoming the most desirable production version of the model.
Handcrafted at McLaren Technology Centre
Every SLR Roadster 722 S was assembled by hand inside McLaren’s Formula 1 facility in Woking, England.
The combination of carbon fiber construction, advanced aerodynamics and meticulous craftsmanship reflected McLaren’s racing expertise while preserving the refinement expected from Mercedes-Benz.
Today, these cars remain among the most significant road cars ever produced by the historic Mercedes-McLaren partnership.
Supercharged V8 Performance
Power comes from Mercedes-AMG’s legendary 5.4-liter supercharged V8, producing 650 horsepower and an immense 820 Nm of torque.
Performance figures remain deeply impressive today:
- 650 hp
- 820 Nm
- 0-100 km/h in approximately 3.7 seconds
- Top speed of 321 km/h
The combination of effortless torque, rear-wheel drive and long-nose proportions creates a driving experience unlike modern mid-engined hypercars.
Collector-Grade Condition
This example has covered just 24,875 kilometers and remains in first paint, an increasingly important attribute for serious collectors seeking originality.
Its exceptionally preserved condition, combined with extremely limited production, makes it an attractive opportunity for enthusiasts looking to acquire one of Mercedes-Benz’s modern halo cars.
Purposeful Specification
The factory specification emphasizes both performance and long-distance usability.
Highlights include ceramic brakes, lightweight carbon fiber components, carbon sport seats, AMG styling, performance exhaust, Bose audio, automatic climate control and electrically adjustable seats.
Red brake calipers and matching red seat belts provide subtle visual contrast while reinforcing the sporting character of the 722 S.
A Future Blue-Chip
Limited-production Mercedes halo cars have experienced growing collector interest over the past decade.
With only 150 Roadsters produced, Formula 1 assembly by McLaren, and direct links to Mercedes’ greatest racing victory, the SLR McLaren 722 S Roadster occupies a unique place within modern automotive history.
Its combination of rarity, historical significance and analogue supercar character continues to make it one of the most desirable Mercedes-Benz models of the 21st century.
