Live from Paris 2008: Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster 722 S

Earlier this week, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the SLR McLaren Roadster 722 S along with some computer generated images. Today the German automaker is showing off at the 2008 Paris Motor Show.

Power comes from the same hand-built 5.5L V8 AMG from the SLR McLaren 722 coupe. It’s good for 650-hp with a maximum torque of 604 lb-ft that allows for a 0 to 62 mph time of 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 208 mph. A 5-speed automatic transmission transfers power to the wheels.

Production of the new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster 722 S will take place at the Formula 1 workshops of McLaren in Woking, England with a limited production run of 150 units.
