Top speed of 345 km/h (214 mph)

The crack team at edo Competition has turned their attention to the Mercedes-McLaren SLR 722.

Dressed in matte black with 21-inch alloy wheels, the bespoke supercar features a supercharged 5.5-liter V8 that has been outfitted with a revised air intake, a stainless steel sport exhaust system, and an optimized ECU. Thanks to all these tweaks, the engine produces 722 PS (531 kW / 712 PS) and 890 Nm (656 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, 0-300 km/h (0-186 mph) in 24.5 seconds, and onto a limited top speed of 345 km/h (214 mph). Power output of the standard 722 Edition is 650 PS (478 kW / 641 bhp).

Besides the performance modifications, edo added an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, carbon fiber trim, and a new infotainment system with GPS navigation and Bluetooth/iPod connectivity.

Flat black, extremely fast and striking, that's the edo SLR Black Arrow. The appeal of this mighty supercar created by edo competition is more than just skin deep: It's powerful, fast and attracts attention despite its stealthy finish.

A McLaren SLR Coupe wearing a special flat coating forms the basis for this unique vehicle. The Black Arrow could have been designed for the race tracks of the world, but the modifications go far beyond the flat black exterior. In addition to the new stainless steel high-performance exhaust system, which provides a truly impressive soundtrack, and the new edo 21 in. racing wheels shod in high-performance rubber, the interior has been refinished in black with carbon fiber trim.

Bucket seats with leather/alcantara skins, the grippy alcantara steering wheel with shift paddles and custom made carbon fiber pieces for the dashboard, center console and door panels add racing flair to the interior. The cabin is further accented with a new custom sound system featuring navigation, phone, TV and iPod integration as well as a reversing camera.

The supercharged V8 engine now puts out 722 horsepower at 7,100 rpm and 890 Nm (656 lb-ft) of torque. In order to achieve these numbers, the supercharger drive ratio was modified and the ECU was remapped to accommodate the hardware changes. A revised intake system, new exhaust headers, high flow catalytic converters and air filters help the engine breathe better. The powertrain engineers used a dynamometer to build new ECU maps and change the on-board diagnostics system accordingly. The result is an ideal tune with perfect power delivery.

The performance figures speak for themselves: 100 km/h (62 mph) is reached in just 3.4 seconds and the needle hitse needle crosses the 300 km/h mark (186 mph) in a phenomenal 24.5 seconds.rfect power delivery.d ed to accomodate the hardware the 300 km/h mark (186 mph) in a phenomenal 24.5 seconds. The new found power also has an effect on top speed, which now stands at an electronically governed 345 km/h (214 mph).

The SLR Black Arrow by edo competition is an exceptionally performance-minded-ed version of nts a d system featuring navigation, phone, tv and iPod integration as well as a r version of the legendary supercar, and with a little luck you might be able to see it at one of the many race tracks of the world.

All modifications are carried out exclusively at edo competition Motorsport GmbH in Ahlen.

Looks like they took a run of the mill SLR (u can tell by the cluster gauges that it's a regular SLR) and imported it from the states (the orange marker lights on the bumper give it away n so does the climate control temps as there in F) and tuned it up a bit ;). All in all looks sick but y did theyhave to import it? Less for us over here to have fun with :(.

Now THAT is terrible. 650 is enough horsies 4 the road, furthermore, it does look duller imho. in this color scheme.Gives one pause- designed by a crack team of specialists or a special team of crackheads?
