Rare 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722S Roadster With Under 1,500 Miles Hits PCarMarket

A 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722S Roadster, one of only 150 ever produced and among just 24 delivered to the United States, has surfaced for auction on PCarMarket. Showing just 1,471 miles, this track-focused, open-top supercar represents one of the rarest and most desirable collaborations between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren.

Unveiled at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 722S Roadster pays tribute to Sir Stirling Moss’s 1955 Mille Miglia victory in a Mercedes 300 SLR, famously starting at 7:22 AM, which inspired the “722” designation. This hand-built machine features extensive use of carbon fiber, including a CFRP body, carbon monocoque chassis, and aerodynamic upgrades like a carbon splitter, rear diffuser, and integrated air brake. Finished in model-specific Crystal Antimony Gray Metallic, it retains its Michelin Pilot Sport tires on exclusive 19-inch lightweight forged wheels and has been partially wrapped in clear paint protection film.

Inside, the SLR blends motorsport engineering with luxury, featuring black semi-aniline leather and Alcantara, red contrast stitching and seatbelts, and carbon fiber trim. Details like blue McLaren dials, an etched wind deflector, and a 722S badge on the shifter underscore its limited-production exclusivity. Comfort and convenience are not forgotten, with dual-zone climate control and a Bose premium sound system included.

Under the hood, the 722S is powered by a 5.5-liter supercharged V8, delivering 641 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque through a 5-speed AMG Speedshift R transmission. With a 0-60 mph time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 207 mph, it remains one of the fastest roadsters ever built.

Regularly maintained at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships, this two-owner SLR comes with a clean title and is now offered out of Stony Brook, New York. Serious collectors are encouraged to arrange inspections before this rare opportunity slips away.
