Im hoping this is just the scraps from the edit room floor..I find it hard to believe that all that money, talent and tech could only come up with a giant 3D merc badge wafting around the screen! Fairplay it was a tight schedule, but why no low angle onboard perspective? Just oodles of wide shots. Should have been pitched as a simulation, letting the audience get a tiny sense of what skimming the walls and nailing the apex is like via 3D. Not just banal car add from the 90's redone in 3D. Farce

I'm rarely negative but given chopper support, a custom porsche mounted jib and David Coulthard driving this director could still only manage what amounts to an average mercedes promo for the car..... It only ever looks "nice" and not once do you feel like its a heart stoppingly fast drive.... Dude.... Where's the phantom/ red camera slo mo....? Where/s the car moving past the camera at speed....?? Eh....? Are you mental? Have you ever watched a the great car chase movie? Overall: poor!
I don't get why they're investing soo much on this car. esp with all the hype. The Ferrari F458 Italia shifts way faster, and overall is way quicker than this SLS Gull Wing Mercedez Shitbox. Sure Germans make nice cars, but they sure as hell can't make the fastest.
@gofastflyhigh why would I want a overpriced pos that will fall on its face with depreciation, I am done with buying things that are going down in value, I want things that are going up. I have yet to see anything that goes up after taking it off the lot
He is freaking David Coulthard! he is one of the best drivers in the world besides there is no lanes or white lines in formula one racing!! besides this is Isle of man he can drive like he wants...he is using all the road like a true racing driver.
Fifth Gear presenter Tiff also took the SLS out for a ride while Coulthard was there. Both drivers did Speeds around 160mph (more would be really hard to squeeze out of this course with the SLS). If you want more SLS Roar, watch the Fifth Gear bit in Episode 7 from Season 17 which was on TV at the 15th of July this year.
I doubt it. I hate NASCAR with the passion of one thousand fiery suns, and seeing NASCAR 3D in IMAX, in Daytona Beach, was an almost religious experience.
I like how everyone thinks he is goign 160mph all the time and there fore the chase car is faster and better. guys pls watch the behind the scenes video. you are naive to think he's driving 160mph the entire time. the shots from the chase car is some other scottish rally driver driving and David complained a bit because he could see the turns during the close ups.
The looks are great (apart from the contrived dash clocks shots), but the sound mix is awful. I hope in a final version they lose the cheesy dubbed on chopper sounds and turn the music down. That way the car's engine noise will get center stage.
@AckbarsFist Correct, it's another SLS driven by rally car driver Robbie Head. The reason why it appears it takes corners faster is that they agreed that the front car would be driving at a fixed speed, and Coulthard then would be slowing down at times to create the racing effect.
make it 1080p, and give me a divx link to direct download it. Youtube always comes off as compressed and choppy no matter what resolution it says its playing
Great Driving but a shame on production as it gets rather boring - Cant imagine what the TOP GEAR Production Crew would have done with this video.......that's after seeing their latest productions in the last series - MINT !
@claesmogren I was there doing safety cover and it was a second SLS driven by Robbie Head. I asked DC how fast he was going and he told me he got it up to 160mph
