Michael's New SLS Commercial

I saw this on the plane from Frankfurt last week, what a sweet car!

This may be a stupid question but the SLS did not really do a roll in the tunnel right?

I know there are cars that generate more down force then they actually weigh and could theoretically do that but the commercial was fake right?

Holy Crap!!

Did just he do what it looks like he just did?!?!?!?!

Barrel roll an AMG, SUCCESSFULLY????

If not "Trick Photography", that's got to be the coolest car commercial ever.

There's another version of the same commercial, just doesn't have Schumi, some non descript test driver type.

Thumbs up

The barrel-roll is plausible, no? I mean, Clarkson did it in a crap car on Top Gear. Schumi driving no way in hell.

Cool commercial nonetheless!

Cool commercial!

Chris do you really need 4 seats? An SLS would look pretty damn nice sitting next to the GL in your garage.

actually, it looks like a 300sl ( side vents, front grille) , besides (i know, duh) the obvious gullwing homage.

AMG already has the cabrio version ready for production and there's also plans for a smaller AMG coupe.
