This year's McLaren has wings that fly it to a top speed of 200 MPH। With only 500 of these vehicles hand-built each year, they sell out very quickly. The 722 is an homage by Mercedes-Benz to the memorable victory won by British racing legend Stirling Moss and his co-driver Dennis Jenkinson in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR at the Mille Miglia in 1955.


The SLR McLaren comes with a supercharged 5.5-litre V8 engine, dry-sump lubrication, carbon-fiber reinforced, lightweight ceramic brakes and a body shell and chassis that are fully made of high-strength carbon fiber, normally used only in racing cars. This Formula One-inspired racer has an arrow-shaped nose and a twin-fin front spoiler.
