McLaren 722S Roadster

We’ve known it’s been coming for a while. But now we can say it. McLaren 722s Roadster for sale. Or, if you prefer, SLR 722S Roadster. Who knows what it will get called day to day. But the official Mercedes-Benz McLaren 722S Roadster is a bit of a mouthful. But anyway, it’s a Roadster version of the 722.

The SLR has, despite the rumours, been a success. For the first time there is a Hypercar that can be used everyday. There is no other car in this league that is half as usable. Not even he Carrera GT which, like all other Porsches is pretty much bullet proof. And that, despite it being a huge plus, is actually the Achilles Heel of the SLR. It’s not perceived as ‘Special’ enough. And I can understand that. It does feel very ‘Merc-ish’, particularly on the inside. But the combination of McLaren’s magic and the re-discovered quality of Mercedes has produced a series of cars that are truly exceptional.

This is the last of the line. Mercedes are going it alone with their next Hypercar, and McLaren are busy developing a smaller car, much more in the mould of the F1, although rumoured to be more affordable and with a much bigger production run.

So what does the 722S Roadster offer? Well, a good power boost for a start, culminating in a 0-100kph of just 3.7 seconds. It’ll also do 0-200kph in only 10.6. These are seriously quick times and give the 722S a real edge over the standard car. Lowered suspension (10mm all round), ceramic brakes and liberal use of carbon fibre add to the mix, and make this the ‘must-have’ SLR.

McLaren are making just 150 722S Roadsters. Delivery is due to start in January, and if you want one we have one available then. Be quick and you can spec it!
