Some stories bear a detailed explanation, and some stories do not. This story is of the latter variety. Last month Mercedes unveiled the SLR McLaren Roadster 722 S, and with it, a relatively limited amount of highly Photoshopped pictures. Today, I bring you another look at the SLR Roadster 722 S – this time in a real world, non-studio setting and without the magic of artificial lighting.

And that, my friends, is the singular reason for this post. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster 722 S photos, and lots of 'em. To view each and every one of the SLR pictures in all their high resolution glory, keep scrolling, and click any to enlarge.

Enjoy.

Monster and Marcus already beat u to it in the other thread but heck it's euphoric to see more and more pics of that car:icondrool:icondrool:icondrool:D
 
The F1 influenced nose still looks like a work of art. Other than thar, this is a sports car from the era when Mercedes performance cars always lagged behind rivals in handling, track performance and gearbox responsiveness.
 
I remember seeing the SLR only once on the street long time ago, and it was very distinctive, but what was much more distinctive is the Sterling Moss edition that I saw in the Royal museum in Jordan.

Speaking of the SLR, I feel that it's become among the forgotten supercars. It's not as featured on the current youtube videos as the Enzo or the Carrera GT (I base my opinions on what youtube features, so I could be wrong), but maybe because the car didn't have a true successor due to McLaren going fully independent with their own range of supercars / hypercars...
 
Lucky you, I only got to see the Carrera GT at that museum when I visited Jordan.
 
It's funny, the SLR I love the most is the least desirable one. One silver on black coupe with the turbine wheels for me please.
 
Interesting that it "hits the limeter at 230km/h"...Must...
Something is not right with that SLR, in standard spec it does 334km/h and 0-100km/h in 3.8sec and 0-200km/h in 10.6sec.
