Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Black Arrow 722HP by Edo Competition

Edo Karabegovic and his team over at Edo Competition started out with the SLR McLaren’s body, which gains a stealthy looking flat black coating and an overdose of red livery combined with new black colored 21-inch alloy wheels with a red ring that are shod in high-performance sport tires. There’s also new exhaust tailpipes and carbon trim.

The interior of the German supercar has been refinished in a combination of black leather and alcantara with custom-made carbon fiber pieces for the dashboard, center console and door panels. The cabin is further accented with a new custom infotainment system with navigation, phone, TV and iPod integration as well as a parking camera.

Under the skin, Edo Competition fiddled around with the V8 engine by modifying the supercharger, remapping the ECU and adding a variety of special parts such as a revised intake system, new exhaust headers, high flow catalytic converters and air filters. The result is an output of 722 horsepower at 7,100 rpm and 890 Nm (656 lb-ft) of torque.

Edo Competition says that after the modifications, the SLR McLaren Black Arrow can complete the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in just 3.4 seconds, while the 300 km/h mark (186 mph) is reached in 24.5 seconds. Furthermore, top speed has been increased to an electronically governed 345 km/h (214 mph).
