The 722 S will be available from January 1, 2009. Power from the supercharged 5.5-litre V8 engine remains the same as its 722 Edition sibling with 650 hp/ 478 kW and clocks 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds and a maximum speed of 335 km/h (208 mph). See press release below for further details. Source: Daimler

As pointless as it may be, i love this car..its brutal, sounds scary and looks great (IMHO one of the best looking cars ever)..too bad that just like all other variants, its another toy for the millionaires.
