The mercedes mclaren slr 722 was named so bacause when the first slr was made back in the 50s-60s the legandary Sterling Moss won the lemans race in it posting a time of exactly 7:22 Min:sec flat.

It's not the bhp and sterling moss didn't win le mans. It refers to the time he set off on the mille miglia - 07.22am
