This monster slipped through the cracks last month. GT Spirit announced the arrival of the 1:18 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 GT. As if the standard SLR isn’t enough this 722 GT version is definitely on the OJ.  More on the 722 GT below.  Model is manufactured in resin and is closed-body construction. Delivery should be in late Q2 2016.

About the 722 GT…  “The 722 GT is a tuned version of the SLR 722 which is developed for a one-make racing series. The cars are built by Ray Mallock Ltd. with approval from Mercedes-Benz. The car features new wider bodywork to accommodate 19 in (483 mm) OZ racing wheels. The front grill vents are removed and larger, free flowing air extractors sit on the hood and flank the side of the car. The rear now has a racing wing and diffuser.

Under the body, the car has shed 398 kg (877 lb) and reduced its dry weight to 1,300 kg (2,900 lb) . The engine remains in relatively stock specification but now produces 690 PS (510 kW; 680 hp) and 868 N·m (640 lb·ft) at 1.75 bar (175 kPa) boost. Inside, the car is stripped out with only the essential functions being available, controlled from a carbon fibre binnacle. New carbon fibre door panels and full roll cage complete the transformation.”
