Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition

The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition was set into production in 2006 and is powered by an uprated version of the 5.4L V8 engine used by the regular SLR.

Overall Performance
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition has a stock top speed of 306 km/h (190 mph) for Class A. The acceleration is strong and it has powerful gears, but however, the handling feels heavy and is stiff, making it pack loads of oversteer in low speeds as well as high speeds. The nitrous output of the SLR is only average at best.

For Team Escape and Pursuit Outrun the 722 can perform very well. Due to its heavy weight it can go through roadblocks and take head-on collisions with heavy police vehicles such as rhinos very well. However, because of its poor steering it may have some problems dodging them.
