Youtube post FAIL!

 

fixed

 

IDK i think its fake.

 

fake

 

Wait, some people think its real?

 

actually, that can be done...keep the speed up enuf and the centrifugal force will hold you against the wall...

Ugh, I can't stand that misnomer. What's even worse is when an engineer uses it.

Check yoself! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

 

I think they over looked some things...
Like the lights on the wall that he miraculously drives over and the vertical wall that the ramp leads him into.

 

nice catch. The commercial pretty much hides that with the editing. Cool commercial none the less. Mercedes generally has some nice ones. I like the one with the new c class(?) crashing through the window of the museum.

 

We done a lab in a science class a took a while back to find out if this was possible. After we tried it smaller scale and everything, we found out that a vehicle weighing 3000lbs would have to traveling ~237mph IIRC, the entire time to make it completely around the loop.

So, I definitely think its fake...

 

The Veyron has enough down force at top speed or close to that easily surpasses it's weight. So it could theoretically drive upside all day at speed.

And some guy put one in the drink...

 

It's fake, and the car looks like shit IMHO.

 

+1 ...

 

You don't need aero downforce to do that - the spiral pattern will cause the car to stick to the roof from centrifugal force. Just like the old loop-the-loop with motorbikes, roller coasters, etc.

The Top Gear guys kinda did this in a crappy Renault, although he didn't go fast enough to remain in contact all the way round:

As for whether Mercedes faked this: I wouldn't be surprised if it's real. It is apparently a real Merc advertisement and it obviously had a decent budget and the physics is OK. it'd be a bit lame to fake it after all that.

 

Fake, they wouldn't dare do a stunt like that without all the safety equipment installed in the car like a full cage and neck braces and etc...

Even backwoods stunt guys are smart enough to do that, I'm sure mercedes would do the same if it was real

 

That car should only come in silver.
