The Stig Takes You for A 360° Lap Around The Top Gear Test Track


This is the coolest automotive video of the week for sure! And it's not any type of videos, it's the footage recorded by 360° HD camera mounted at the roof of a white SLS AMG that is being driven by the Stig around the Top Gear test track! No excuses, you need to watch (and interact with) this and make sure your speakers are loud enough!

The guys at Kicherer managed to squeeze 31 more Hp out of the Gullwinged supercar's 6.3-liter V8 to make it barely pass the 600 Hp bar. Some of the most noticeable changes from the exterior are the RS-1 forged wheels and the new rear diffuser. More discrete changes include a carbon fiber front splitter and stainless steel exhausts. Another interesting feature is the lifting system that allows the whole vehicule to sit 30mm (1.2 inches) higher at the push of a button. More pictures of this beauty in the gallery below.

Photoshoot: Two Gullwings from Two Differents Eras

Photo Credits: Ian Merritt

On the left, the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL, powered by a 215 Hp six cylinder engine. On the right, the SLS AMG powered by a 6.2L V8 developping 571 Hp and good for at least 300 Km/h. When you look at a picture like this one, there's an eternal question that comes to mind: which one would you choose? I love the styling of the 300SL and i have an admiration for the performance of the SLS AMG. In a perfect world, i would keep both.
