Posted on March 25, 2012 by gutenk

Jeremy test drives the Mercedes Brabus SL Bi-Turbo Roadster and goes to some lengths to explain that it is like a volcano under the bonnet. But how fast will it make it round the Top Gear track with Stig at the wheel? Find out in this fast racing clip from BBC Worldwide.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

James May enlists the help of a ‘tame’ chauffeur as he puts two absurdly powerful limos – the BMW 760Li and Mercedes S63 AMG – through their paces out on the Top Gear track.

@willzer808 there are bad people and good people in every country and for me it is humourous yes I know some people are very serious and bad but it doesn’t mean it’s only in our place, I have nothing against you or the british and I never will, if you hate my country so be it, I like topgear I like BBC, It doesn’t mean I’m German I? would hate them or be serious,or something. peace..

@iraqiboy90 Vertigo zoom is what it’s commonly called. Works by moving the camera forwards and zooming out at the same time, or vice? versa.

@JonnyCashmore i don’t see where these “low” reliability ratings are emanating from. people in my family have ALWAYS driven bmws, mercedes, and? other german cars. So far we have not had a single issue with ANYTHING. German cars are the only cars my family trusts for everyday driving. They are safe, fun, comfortable, AND reliable.

@daltonauto I? don’t now either I don’t now how much a G-Power costs
Praz55 on February 10, 2012 at 6:01 pm said:

@vieh321 im not sure? wtf you said, but i’m pretty sure i agree with you!
daltonauto on February 10, 2012 at 6:20 pm said:

@dutchtopgearfreak Well G-Power tuned it up to 800+ RWHP so i guess it can…. I don’t know what they did? to the gearbox though.
dutchtopgearfreak on February 10, 2012 at 6:51 pm said:

@daltonauto I’m not so sure I think the gearbox would be destroyed if you tune that engine up to the power and torque of a S65? AMG
vieh321 on February 10, 2012 at 7:46 pm said:

Wenn man einem V12 Mercedes gegen eine V12 BMW fahren lassen würde dann mercedes gewinnen. Und der AMG ist ein Sportwagen und BMW ist eine Bussines-limo!? Das kann man nicht vergleichen!!!!!!!!!!S63 hat 8 zylinder und der bmw 12!
