Behind The Wheel Of The Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 Edition

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.
