While I suspect the majority of those in the market for the Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 Edition take little time to heed the advice of others, that hasn't stopped Car magazine from weighing in with their thoughts on the limited-edition model.
As for what they thought of the
650 horsepower supercar, an excerpt of Car's SLR 722 Edition article:
"So it’s good in a straight line. What about corners?
Here’s where the 722 falls apart. It’s the steering that’s to blame. Despite being razor-sharp and accurate, it never feels anything but dead. You’re given very little idea of what the front wheels are doing – not so cool in a car that can whip up to three times the national limit in a few minutes. Throw in a chassis that feels stiff but oddly inert and you’re left driving a very one-dimensional car. Which is a crying shame given the killer performance of its engine and brakes."

And that, ladies and gentlemen, tends to echo the reviewer's overall sentiment. Although up to this point I haven't the luxury of piloting my own SLR 722 Edition, I have a feeling some may disagree with the above assertions.
To read the full review and form your own opinion on the matter, head over to Car magazine for the full review.
And thanks once again to our good friend Shiv for the tip; we always appreciate it.
