Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren – 722 Edition

What can I say – I am a car guy. I have a passion for Audi but deep down, I just love cars. While walking through the streets of Munich, Germany last week I saw a Mercedes in person that I had never seen before the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren – 722 Edition Pretty awesome! Below is an excerpt from Wikipedia on how the 722 got its name – For the full article click “Wikipedia” My first non-Audi automotive post! Take it easy on me!

“A new version was introduced in 2006 called the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition. The “722″ refers to the victory by Stirling Moss and his co-driver Denis Jenkinson in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR with the starting number 722 (indicating a start time of 7:22 a.m.) at the Mille Miglia in 1955.
