Real Or Fake? Mercedes SLS Tunnel Stunt

Take a look at the following video that shows a Mercedes SLS AMG doing a complete loop in a tunnel.

While it’s almost certainly a fake, is there a chance it could be real – is this sort of thing possible in the real world? And is the Mercedes SLS AMG possibly the ugliest car available to buy at the moment? Having said that, I do love the gullwing doors!

UPDATE - if you’ve watched the first video above, now watch the second video below … notice anything different about the driver? You might not have recognised him before but now he seems to have changed into someone a bit more famous. Looks like Mercedes are trying to rewrite the laws of time and physics with this stunt.

   Could be real. Its not impossible. Top Gear did it last season. Admitedly not elegantly but they did do it at only 37 miles per hour.

   When I first watched that episode of Top Gear I wasn’t sure the tunnel stunt was genuine, but having rewatched that clip (thanks Alastair) I think they really did do it – in typical Jeremy fashion! It’s not like they were worried about trashing the Twingo, seeing as they drove it into the harbour at the end … poor Twingo, I would have given it a good home.
