Whoever produced this video of the Mercedes SLS AMG should go into action film production, if they aren’t already. The SLS AMG finds itself in a stunt of looping the inside of a tunnel at high speed through the down force generated (thanks to a whole lot of computer graphics but I’ll believe it’s capable anyway). My favourite part, though, is at the end, when the stationary car suddenly flips its Gullwing doors open. Lovely.
The appearance of the new SLS AMG Gullwing at Laguna Seca got the Americans very excited, as it would anyone, I guess. What I can’t get over is just how many of the models are lined up around the track (I always get the impression that any new launch of a supercar is the same car travelling around the world - or at least one of an exclusive group of three).
This particular track video of the SLS AMG has some fantastic onboard footage and unsophisticated commentary, but we appreciate it for the guy’s enthusiasm (he doesn’t stop smiling for the whole video). The verdict is that no other streetcar even comes close. I’m convinced just by the incredible engine sound.
The Mercedes SLS AMG 2010 is just about ready, and here is a video of Bernd Schneider (five-time DTM champion) driving it around the ‘Ring. The super coupe has 571 hp and can hit 100 km/hr in 3.8 seconds. The car will be officially presented in September.
