Going back to Edo Competition, one of the most extreme and popular tuner, specializing in the rare and powerful supercar. After recently "laid hands" on a sporty Koenigsegg CCR, the German factory has developed a SLR McLaren 722 Edition, the special series of the Anglo-German sports introduced in 2006, to commemorate the victory of the legendary 300 SLR Mille Miglia 1955 .

Edo Karabegovic and his team have been limited to adding some things that have upset the aesthetic line of SLR.

The center console instead earns a sophisticated infotainment system including navigation system, TV system, CD-MP3, DVD and telephone preparation with hands free mobile phone and iPod connection and Bluetooth.

In order to protect the delicate body during parking maneuvers you have installed a rear camera connected to the screen of the installation media. Of course the main attraction drawing made by the Atelier Teutonic is the powerful 5.5-liter V8 that delivers 722 in limited edition series of the beauty of 650 hp and 820 Nm of torque.

After treatment of Edo Competition, the handsome eight-cylinder engine has increased its power to 720 hp delivered at 7,100 rpm, while peak torque is 890 Nm at an altitude of up to obtain these values was made to upgrade the electronic control unit The intake system has been revised and some have been replaced mechanical components such as exhaust manifolds, the flow of catalytic converters, air filters and was finally adopted a more powerful exhaust system, made of stainless steel.
