The supercharged V8 delivers immediate, linear thrust in the SLR Roadster 722. The combination of lightweight construction, precise throttle response, and robust thermal management defines a powertrain that feels effortless and carries long distances with ease.
More information
At its heart lies a hand-assembled, mechanically supercharged V8. The supercharger builds boost pressure instantly, producing the characteristic mid-range punch. The side-exit exhaust system enhances the engine’s clear feedback and keeps the footwell cool. Cooling and oil supply are designed for continuous load, ensuring the engine remains composed on mountain passes as well as on long highway stretches. In the 722, the engine delivers a sharper character without sacrificing the Gran Turismo’s long-distance comfort.
Back
The SLR Roadster 722 relies on a rigid carbon structure, ceramic brakes, and a focused chassis setup. The result is an open sports car with direct steering, dependable stopping power, and high stability at speed.

The carbon fiber body provides a torsionally rigid foundation, the steering is precise and offers early feedback on grip levels and load changes. Ceramic brake discs deliver high fade resistance and clear modulation, aided by the deployable rear wing acting as an airbrake under heavy deceleration. The 722’s suspension is tuned for firmer handling, yet remains easily controllable on long journeys. Aerodynamic refinements stabilize the roadster at high speeds, and the open body benefits from sophisticated wind management that reduces turbulence and keeps the interior quieter.

Open top driving with focus. The SLR Roadster 722 combines clean lines, high-quality materials, and subtle 722 accents into a cockpit that feels sporty while remaining relaxed on longer journeys.
More information
The seating position is low and centered, the dashboard clearly laid out, and all controls are within easy reach. Leather, carbon fiber, and precisely crafted metal surfaces define the overall feel. The fabric roof mechanism operates compactly and allows for quick transitions between open and closed. 722 details, such as dark wheels, specific emblems, and a subtly darker color palette, sharpen the car’s appearance without compromising the elegance of the basic design. The result is an interior that provides tranquility on long journeys and, when the top is down, allows the technology to be consciously experienced.
