722 is a special edition SLR. Special intercoolers, more boost (i think)

722hp, up from the “regular” 612ish

[/quote]

Is wiki teh wrong about this?

> A new version was introduced in 2006 called the “ **2007 Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 Edition** ”. The “722” refers to the victory by [Stirling Moss](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_Moss) and his co-driver Denis Jenkinson in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR with the starting number 722 (indicating a start time of 7:22 a.m.) at the Mille Miglia in 1955. The “722 Edition” creates 650 bhp, with a top speed of 337 km/h (5 more than the standard SLR). A new suspension is used with 19-inch light-alloy wheels, a stiffer damper configuration and 0.4 inches lower body. The SLR is planned to end production in 2008, according to Mercedes-Benz.

How can anyone think that Merc looks good in flat black but not the Elise? That makes no sense to me.
