There’s something morbidly fascinating about watching a vehicle’s crash tests. Seeing the objects of our desire bashed against unforgiving slabs of concrete and steel is something you just can’t help but watch. Mercedes-Benz has just released the crash test videos for its new SLS AMG supercar and it’s as addictively painful as any clip we’ve seen. The really cool part is how the Silver Arrow prepped for a roll over. Those fancy gull-wing openers actually separate from the rest of the car in case of a flip, letting occupants push their way out. Clever. Hop the jump for a look at the tests. [Source: Zercustoms]








Pretty sweet how the doors just pop out like that. I wonder if this thing is safer than a Ferrari or a Lambo? My guess is that it is. And there sure have been a lot of rich folk that have passed away or gotten seriously injured pushing their supercars. This might be the smart choice, if you can fork up the dough.
