SLR SLR Mclaren 722 GT Racing


The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (C199 / R199 / Z199) is a grand tourer jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive and sold from 2003 to 2010. When the car was developed, Mercedes-Benz owned 40 percent of the McLaren Group and the car was produced in conjunction between the two companies. The "SLR" name is an abbreviation for "Sport Leicht Rennsport" (Sport Light Racing), and was a homage to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR which served as the car's inspiration. The car was offered in coupé, roadster and speedster bodystyles, with the latter being a limited edition model.

We are trying to find a level of interest in creating a US version on the European SLR.Club and like to get in contact with all and any SLR owners.
We own a 2005 722GT as well as 2008 SLR Roadster and we would like to find folks that are interested in this.

We recently brought one of the competition SLR GT’s over to New York to measure the interest of running the cars in a US racing series. We are currently looking in to running some events this year but need to have a few cars on US hands to have a group of 4 - 6.
 
The SLR 722 GT that was at the NY auto show was yours?

I don't remember seeing another roadster beside the 722s on display at the MB stand, but there was a couple of SLR coupes that belonged to a tuner and an exotics club that required members to pay $2,000+ to drive an exotic car.

You should definitely post this at MBWorld since there are plenty of SLR owners there.
 
There are ~half dosen+ owners in Las Vegas. Some SLRs are pretty much used as daily drivers. You might find one that would play ball.
 
SLR owners

Thank you very much. Hopefully they will see this as I have no way to get owners list.
 
The SLR 722GT at the NY Show was lent to us by Daimler AG in Stuttgart and will be displayed again soon.

Our own SLR 722GT (#7) is undergoing modifications for US racing regulations and will be displayed at a MB Driver event in June.

Our 2008 SLR Roadster is located in Houston Texas together with a few nice examples of the best AMG offer.



Thanks for the tip about “MBWorld”
