Mercedes Benz

Our friends at CARversation have provided us with an article about the SLR McLaren 722 GT supercar, that will soon arrive for sale in USA too. Thank you very much, pals;we really appreciate it!

Some will say for better or worse, the Mercedes SLR Mclaren will not go away. It was previewed by the Vision SLR concept way back in 1999, and since entering limited production in 2003, the supercar has performed disappointingly both on the track and in the market. Rather than slipping it away, Mercedes kept giving it new transfusions like the Roadster, 722, and now the 722 GT. The SLR is due for retirement so where has it gone to Florida. RENNtech the Florida based Mercedes tuner has been given the exclusive contract to import and distribute the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 GT in North America.

RENNtech is setting up a full track-day program for the SLR 722 GT owners, including set-up and maintenance by specialized technicians, opportunity to learn the track behind the wheel of its special SLR karts (pictured, right) and instruction from professional drivers (David Coulthard, although no longer affiliated with McLaren, is claimed to be on board).[Source Auto Blog]
