"The manufacturers, Gumpert, claim the design of the Apollo is optimized so that the car could drive upside-down in a tunnel if driven at sufficiently high speeds (over 190 mph),[6] though this remains to be tested. Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond claims that Gumpert have already found a suitable tunnel and have made all the preparations necessary and are simply waiting for a volunteer driver willing enough to do the test.[7]"

I guess there's quite a demand for upside down tunnel driving stunt drivers right now.

Btw, that SLS looks like a 280Z with GTR35 headlights.

Well, if Michael was in it, it has to be real

OH. Now that is sweet. I didn't know there was going to be another gulllwing. The original 300 sl is number one on my list of wannahaves.

From some stuff Ive read, he was superimposed into this commercial after the fact (he wasnt quite signed to drive for team mercedes (aka brawn gp) just yet). there's an original cut of this commercial with some other driver...

entertaining commercial nonetheless and a pretty sexy car. i still have to get used to seeing schumi in something other than ferrari, but there's still some familiarity since its him and brawn back on the same team
