  • Nevermind David in the SLS, go the camera car driver!

  • at least go the right way round the course david !

  • TT3D Closer to the edge is out soon. The trailer is on here and it looks so fuckin good!

  • 166mph never looked so slow

  • 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 found this video surprisingly boring but I suppose it does a job of showing off the car.

  • Yeah the car is awesome. Coulthard is pretty good a a commentator, sadly wasn't as a racer. Happened to be in the Schumacher and Hakkinen era.

  • My heart is racing and I have a boner the size of the Titanic. God damn that car is AMAZING!!!!!

  • very cool'

  • 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.

  • @TurboGHST Sure Italians make nice cars, but they sure as hell can't make cars that don't blow up.

  • At redhot, don't be jealous bc you will never be able to afford such a ride, even when you are fat and old ...... haha

  • @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

  • fucking lame, its an old fat mans car, I pulled up to the light yesterday and that is exactly what was in it, two old gay fat men

  • Damm en dejlig bil... man skulle næsten tro David C. var rally kører som han skærer svingne se ved ca 2:25 min!!!

  • a shame it looks like a clk with different doors and bigger engine. Any male hairdresser with a deathwish gonna get one?

  • god thats a pretty car!

  • 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.

  • He keeps on driving in the middle!! It's so annoying!!!

  • @Perryshotter That's because the middle is sometimes where the best line for racing is.

  • Isle of man + closed roads + sls =  win :p

  • i think a cadillac ran into a mazda. and mercedes was like yeah thats a looker

  • why do i want to imagine a random wall in the middle of the road after he goes around a corner?

  • He is a really bad driver, he can't even pick a lane

  • @DeathEmblem He has the entire highway for himself.. why should he care about picking a lane?

  • It's funny because youtube supports 3d videos. So essentially this was just a waste of our time.

  • 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.

  • Faster than NASCAR 3D? Likely not.

  • @DarrenRBaker

    more entertaining? likely so

  • @Baldric1600

    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.

  • Cool. Would have done better with the new F99 GTO.

  • Why does the clip stop dead 3:02?

    Is the rest left for the 4 minute 3D clip or something?

    Would love to see it in 3D, but not exactly my choice of car... not that I'd afford it anytime soon! ;)

  • 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.

  • ZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZ­zzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzz.........

  • likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • 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.

  • BORING

  • If he goes that fast....who is filming from the front? btw this car reminds me of pontiac solstice...

  • @DeadlyVow Robbie Head (rally car driver) in another SLS.

  • @DeadlyVow theres another SLS AMG with a camera rig in front going equally fast. watch the making of video.

  • The nose hits the ground at 1:04

    

  • Wonder what the camera car was? Another SLS? It's taking corners faster than Coulthard.

  • @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.

    It looks awesome!

  • boring

  • @tdreamgmail wow, you weren't kidding.. yawn

  • 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

  • We could all drive like that if we knew nothing was coming the other way.

  • @RMCKIE No you/we couldn't. Neither could you/we dare.

  • interesting way to end a vid lol

  • That car is just absolutely stunning.

  • 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 !

  • stunning video and what a stunning car, but is it a better car than an Mercedes SLR as they are very close in performance?

  • @cnaptakmockba SLR would destroy this car.

  • sweet!

  • anyone know what the camera car is cos thats doing a pretty good job as well tbh!!!

  • @freerideking07 According to Wired: A second SLS — driven by veteran rally driver Robbie Head — with a 3D camera mounted on its boot.

  • @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

  • Shame he didn't go the right way around the course in this film - impressive driving though - looks like he cut a few hedges here and there.

    ScottishManx

  • Just amazing!

  • This road is my drive to work,, the speeds he is doing are legal even when that road is open..

  • @TheHeftyDanielson You are one lucky man
