I've never been so jealous in my life until I watched this video of the guy doing laps in the SL65BS.

the video is pretty astonishing. It literally sounds like air molecules are being ripped apart by the intake system. You can hear the intake side of the turbos literally from 1/4 mile away, thats pretty damn impressive. honestly sounds almost like a supra, just more refined & higher quality.

thx for the heads up, I figured he was important DTM driver. What an amazing set of videos. Too bad only 200 of these are being made. Honestly this car is much cooler than the SLR and actually ended up costing alot less.

I agree, I have the wife, both dogs & house for sale on ebay now. I would live in a 2 car garage to own that BEAST.

Makes my TT C6 look like a Prius.

Someone pass me a warm towel.

I'd love to see a video like this with a little speedo in the bottom right corner, so you can see how ridiculous his speed is at certain points...
