History
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” 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 (880 lb) and reduced its dry weight to 1,300 kg (2,900 lb). The engine produces 670 bhp.
Inside, the car is stripped out with only the essential functions being controlled from a carbon fibre binnacle. New carbon fibre door panels and full roll cage complete the transformation.
The Scalextric Model
The 722 GT is a brand new model, not to be confused with our previous model - the popular SLR McLaren. Flared wheel arches, bigger vents, re-profiled front grill area and massive rear wing enhance what is already a very powerful looking car.
This Digital Plug Ready (DPR) car can be converted for use with the Scalextric Digital range in under sixty seconds using the C8515 Digital Plug. The car features Magnatraction™, lights at the front and rear plus easy change pick-ups.
