The Mercedes SLR 722 roadster is a forgotten sportiness

The Mercedes SLR 722 roadster was something that enthusiasts could have found attractive if it was being launched in India. This machine was something that McLaren and Mercedes created in partnership and their partnership worked well which later gave birth this beast. It was the first ever Mercedes that used to come with scissor doors however we didn't got it in India. Both a convertible and a sporty roadster were just available in one packet which was like  mixed fruit juice in one bottle and that thing was lovely about this car.

A roadster is something that always remains evergreen

The Mercedes Benz SLR roadster that many people might have forgotten but it's sportiness is something that can never be forgotten. When you do open the scissor doors, you will surely think today that it's not very advanced but back to 2008, it was a very advanced car at that time. If you want to have fun then surely it's the roof which you need to open but unfortunately that's not possible in India due to Sun being too much annoyed in India on a majority of months.

No caption needed for such an amazing car

Audio system did offer bluetooth connectivity, FM and radio which is too basic in today's time but that doesn't matter when you can live on sportiness.

Performance is something everyone should know about


There used to be a lot of V8 engines on the offer which offered different tunings. If it's something that was made to celebrate the victory of Stirling Moss then surely it needs to be rocking and it's surely a great car. The roadster version generated 616 BHP of power and 780 NM of torque. If talking about more powerful variant then surely Fab Desire was most powerfull and torquier. A 5G-tronic AMG speedshift gearbox was an offering on all variants. Top speed was something on which Fab Desire couldn't beat regular variants due to a lot of torque on offer as top speed was 310 kmph for Fab Desire whereas regular ones possesed 332 kmph of top speed. The specs are surely telling that it had a very enthusiastic approach.
