Hmmm. i want my car to sound like that! never mind look like it.
I think it did happen, if it was made up why would they have needed entry and exit ramps? Didnt Top Gear do something similar with a Renault Twingo or something?fly like a mouse, run like a cushion be the small bookcase!0 -
My 335d is far superior than that unreliable thing.
That is a bloody beautiful car, nice to see Mercedes going back to it's roots once again. I wouldn't have it in bright red though.0 -

Because without the entry and exit ramps the car would have to jump from the road to the wall of the tunnel, which would look unrealistic.
And yeah top gear did do it, but it wasn't as clean as that. It jumped all over the place.<hr noshade size="1"><font color="purple"><center><i><b><font size="2"><font face="Times New Roman"> "Boggis and Bunce and Bean. One fat, one short, one lean.

Now im not going to start an arguement ... im not an expert nor am i clued up at all on physics etc but surely the Merc hit higher speeds and probally produces more down force sticking it to the wall/ceiling a bit better ? Didnt the top gear one make it but kind of jump off at the end ?0 -

I would have thought it was more centrifugal force keeping it to the roof, especially with the twingo in top gears one. Its not like that car has loads of wings etc to create downforce, its not like a gumpert.
Not only that, the way it turns before the firemen, that'd be far too dangerous to actually do.<hr noshade size="1"><font color="purple"><center><i><b><font size="2"><font face="Times New Roman"> "Boggis and Bunce and Bean.

Thats the one ... Like swinging a bucket of water above your head ?0
