I saw Jeremy Clarkson driving this in Manhattan last week. They were filming an upcoming episode of Top Gear. Hammond was in a 458 Italia (not on fire) and Captain Slow was in a 911 GT3 RS
Usually, the smoke is a mixture of CO2 and vaporised mineral oil.
Highly heated oil particles come in contact with the colder, outside air and condense into smoke-like particles. The carbon dioxide just acts as a propellant for the oil particles.
Any gas can be used as a propellant, as long as it's not flammable and has a similar weight to the one of regular air.
@jonhchan To see how the air channels underneath the car and gets sucked in by the tires to cool the brakes. The wheels work like a reverse fan basically.
this car is so overpriced for its performance the old 4.2 r8 did a lap around laguna seca in i.08 and this did it in 1.74 and thats the old r8 the new 5.2 would rip this thing apart and the interiors are both high class the Mercedes in my books is overpriced as hell. And plus the R8 looks way sexier.
@youngswagga298 it lets them know if the car will generate lift and more importantly sufficient amount of downforce at higher speeds. Also it will test the efficiency of the shape so the shape isn't making the car waste extra fuel because it's aerodynamically inefficient.
@ebradahusla It's not the air conditioning your thinking of, its more "wind" conditioning, yes it's kind of a wind tunnel, but but with visible, instead of invisible results, and the wheels are spinning, because the car is being told to accelerate... how that effects the experiment, is no true way...
@ebradahusla It's on a rolling road, you can't test the true airodynamic properties of the wheels and their affect on the car unless they're spinning, you're not going to be driving it without the wheels spinning are you?
Looks awesome - but who the fuck need 571 PS, a max speed of 317 km/h and 17l meleage / 100km? Seriously, luxury is one thing but this is exagerated :D
Hot chicks, lots of beer, the best cars in the world are either built or designed here. The best place to drive a machine like this is right here. Why?
Did I forget to mention we have NO GENERAL SPEED LIMIT. I personally went 295 km/h legally on public roads. Off course not everywhere , but there are some nice spots...
And its the ONLY place in the world u can do this. Best thing is: buy that machine, and pick it up at the factory.
