    Mercedes has confirmed that McLaren will build a special-edition ‘722 S’ version of the SLR roadster.
    Deliveries will start in January, and only 150 versions will be built. Prices haven’t been confirmed, but it’s a fair bet that the 722 S will be sold at a substantial price premium to the standard £346,500 SLR Roadster.

    A car that was the product of two organisations pulling in different directions.  May be they have succeeded in making it the car they should have done in the first place.....  but I doubt it.

    I find it quite amusing that Mercedes seem incapable of admitting that the project was ill judged in the first place and cutting their losses on this particular dead horse.  McLaren are so clearly squirming with embarassment but unable to say much.  A bad business all round really and a waste of talent and resource.

    The only person I ever heard of buying one was the rather flashy former boxer Prince Naseem, who then very publicaly wrote it off.  Sums it all up really.
