Mercedes SLR 722 GT Video

It was right around a year ago that the Mercedes McLaren SLR 722 GT was first shown to the public boasting a cost of approximately $2 million while not even being street legal. See, the 722 GT was a limited production run of race cars developed by RML, a U.K.-based motorsports shop, designed to run in its own series at various International venues. Essentially a spec racing series for the ultra-wealthy, there were concerns that that the 722 GT Trophy series would not be a hit, and owners of the cars would be left with track machines with nowhere to race.

Apparently, there was no need to worry. Recent video footage shows the series is still alive and well, and in this video race driver Bruno Senna finds himself behind the wheel of one of the series' cars. Of course, these are no ordinary SLR 722s. With 671 hp on tap from the supercharged AMG-developed 5.5L V-8 engine (along with over 400 modified components), these are serious machines. Click here to check the footage out for yourself. And turn up the volume - these cars sound amazing!
