The 310 horsepower Continental Platinum IO-550 engine, with six-point engine mount, and a color matched white 3-blade prop, powers the plane. Cirrus embroidered each pilot and copilot seat with a special Centennial logo. Special attention was given to the interior with luxurious cocoa leather seats, leather door handles, grab handles, throttle lever, and side control stick.

In 2003, Cirrus created “The Centennial of Flight 1903 – 2003” SR22 to commemorate the Wright Brothers and 100 years of powered flight.
