2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Drives AROUND a Tunnel



Yup. 
Watch this...

Was that real? Possibly. Top Gear did it first.
See...

Now back to the 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
The SLS AMG is replacing the popular Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR (see picture below)

"Mercedes has sold its stake back to McLaren, acquired its own F1 team, and each has produced its own successor: the SLS AMG and the MP4-12C." -Auto Blog


So pretty much...
"Hopeless stat jockeys will want to know the metrics right off: 563 horsepower (at 6,800 RPM) and 479 pound-feet of torque (at 4,750); 0-100 kmh (62 mph) in 3.8 seconds and 200 kmh (124 mph) in around 11.8 seconds. Top whack? Electronically governed to 197 mph. In much the same way as skimming a seventh-grade text book can teach you about copulation or combat, looking at these numbers may paint the SLS as a very powerful, immensely quick automobile – but it tells you exactly nothing about how it feels to be behind the wheel. Like good sex and serious warfare, it's ballistic, impossible to ignore and utterly engaging." - Auto Blog


All in all I LOVED the SLR and I'm really dissapointed that I couldn't get my hands on one, before they stopped producing them.  This new SLS to me is like copmaring red apples to green apples. Exactly.  


But IF... I HAD to get this car. 
It would look something like this..
