A battle of epic proportions is taking
place:
6 various Mercedes Benz models are seen
blasting through the Grüne Hölle..
The legendary 300SL was spotted passing
here about a minute ago..
Now a brand new SLR McLaren is seen
here flying at over 140mph!
The SLR driver is performing a risky
maneuver, attempting to outbrake the SL65 AMG around the Karussel
And he barely passes the SL65 AMG
without making contact!!
The SLR driver is approaching the SL500
on this dangerous uphill left-right combo
What a beautiful automobile from the 21st
century!
Attacking treacherous German curves at
the tires’ grip limit
The 190E is in sight and the SLR is
quickly catching up!
Dangerous overtaking maneuver right at
the apex before the long straight
Careful throttle modulation..
And he passes the 190E at the corner
exit!
The SLK230 and the 300SL are in sight!!
623 horsepower propel this Teutonic
beast to 195mph
The SLR driver has to lay off the throttle
for a fraction of a second as he rounds the slight left at the end
of the straight, narrowly missing the
230SLK as the surroundings become nothing but a blur at 190mph
The supercar uses all its stopping
power to slow down enough for the tight upcoming curves
Adrenaline glands are in overdrive; he
can almost smell the 300SL’s exhaust fumes!!
The SLR makes a split second decision
to outbrake the 300SL and take a tighter line around the final bend
The 300SL stays on the SLR’s bumper as
they round the corner
The modern supercar provides far
superior acceleration as the SLR pulls away from the classic Mercedes
50 years of automotive progress
translate into an improvement of more than 2 minutes at the Nordschleife
..Overwhelmed by the sense of triumph,
the SLR driver creams his pants :(
The End
