Anybody know what the “SR” in the model numbers stands for?

Nothing, as far as I know.

Clark: The “SR” part might be right, but the SR22 does not have 220 hp. If that is correct, it should be a SR31.

Probably Cirrus wnated to underpromise and over-delver this time!

Alas, the entirely logical designation system described by Clark seems to have been dropped for the SR22 — and, for that matter, the SR21tdi.
There’s a long history of such inconsistencies in aircraft names. One example is the Piper Cub, which got its name from the 20-hp Brownbach Tiger Kitten engine with which it was originally to be equipped… but whose logo incorporated a picture of a bear cub.

It’s amusing to note that an “SR22” is the form that a California driver must have his/her insurance company file in order to get a suspended driver’s license reinstated. I hasten to add that I do not speak from personal experience! 
Cheers,

Same phenomena over here in Lancair land. Search the web for “Columbia 300” and you’ll soon be reading about a bowling ball. From the description, it doesn’t fly as well as the Lancair (or the SR22 for that matter).

About the only commonality I can perceive between the Lancair, Cirrus, and bowling ball is that they all can be controlled with two fingers and a thumb…
