FactIts 722 Edition name is the start time, 7:22 a.m., of the Mercedes 300 SLR that won the 1955 Mille Miglia.
The SLR McLaren is a grand tourer developed jointly by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, at a time when Mercedes owned 40 percent of the McLaren Group, and built at McLaren's Woking factory from 2003 to 2010. Its name, Sport Leicht Rennsport, honours the 300 SLR race car. A hand-built 5.4-litre supercharged V8 sits behind the front axle and drives the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic; it has butterfly doors, carbon-ceramic brakes and an active rear air brake. A roadster went on sale in September 2007. Sales fell well short of the planned 500 a year, and 2,157 were produced in all.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
