Mercedes SLR McLaren 722 and SLS AMG in One Awesome Video

If you could add up the awesomeness of two cars sitting by side and combine it into one package, than this shot is worth more than any Bugatti or Aventador. What you’ve got is a bit of old versus new, the prestige offered by the rare 722 version of the SLR and the presence of its replacement, the SLS.
Neither of these supercars have any pretentions of being the fastest round the Nurburgring, but what they lack in lightness and pinpoint precision, they make up for with raw horsepower.

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 Edition was built to commemorate the unforgettable victory achieved in 1955 by the British motor-racing legend Stirling Moss in the 300 SLR of that time. The 722 denominated the start time of race car which was 7:22 AM. Only 150 models were produced, all powered by a 5.5-liter V8 supercharged to produce 650 hp

As for the SLS, this was Mercedes’ successor for the McLaren, which came to the gave with a 6.3-liter V8 that provided 563 hp in this US version that was filmed by CarsandCoffeeIrvine

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
