SLS AMG Barrel Roll: Fake, Still Cool

Deputy Editor

Look, I know it’s possible for cars to drive upside down. But that doesn’t mean I’m ready to buy this clip where Mercedes’ new SLS AMG pulls a barrel roll while blasting through a tunnel. But I really don’t care. I think this is my favorite car on the planet right now, and I’ll basically watch anything that features it and its absolutely gorgeous engine note. So what do you think? Clever fake? Not-so-clever fake?

yea, i noticed it was posted twice too… buuutt..

ive seen cars do loops [http://www.wonderhowto.com/wonderment/car-completes-world-s-largest-360-loop-the-loop-0113685/] , so it is possible, and this is basically a loop…so it could be real…But i also see a lot of viral marketing our there, and you cant really trust anything on the internet. im just saying that i need more proof before i believe it.

that was an allaround intense video, i think it a clever fake everything from the suspense leading up to it to the actual “stunt” but i do recall seeing this befor like DJs posted
