You can not catch a M5 with zooming in.

SL500 has no chance against the M5. 429bhp against 560bhp.

So I guess I'll continue buying BMW.

der arme sixt mietwagen :D

Not a chance! SL is much more beautiful but M5 is much faster.

keyword "chasing" ///M power for life.

half of the video is the view of the steering wheel, as someone would give a crap how it looks in this video...

More like mercedes desperatly trying to keep up with a. M5 that's cruising in confort mode

The point of this video is I could not catch the faster car ???

I'll always be an M power enthusiast but i gotta say this Merc is impeccable. It's not made to go missile fast, maybe an SLS AMG would do better against the BMW M5.

Geez people look at the title that clearly said autobahn. That should register in your head that people will go fast. This isn't America. Also people oppose to speeding or drive a powerful car, go buy a smart car or go buy a moped and stick to the sidewalks. Anyways that m5 was way to powerful, no way the sl500 is going to catch up. but nice capture though. :)

Ultimate autobahn cruiser.... 260 km/h 4,000 rpm And the 700nm from the V8 is just beast

He is below 4000rpm on 260 kmh.

LOL Merc. only with the camera's zoom !!!!

Der SL500 lohnt sich eigentlich so gut wie gar nicht. Man hat einen enormen Basispreis und über 400PS, ist aber im Endeffekt beim Top Speed kein Stück schneller als ein anderes Auto mit 200PS. Da ist es eher eine Verschwendung wegen der Steuern und dem Verbrauch, wenn man ohnehin nicht schneller als 250kmh kann

I drove all over Germany in 1972 while we lived there for a year. Of course we were in a rust bucket VW, and I stayed in that right hand lane ALL THE TIME. We were lucky to get it going 60 mph with both of us pedaling as fast as we could. Cars passing us in center and left hand lane sometimes were just blurs. I drive a nice E320 now here in the States, but nowhere to run like in this video. Heck, I-65 from Chicago to Alabama and the Gulf, driven fpr 50 years, is now total congestion.

Maybe if the SL500 was an amg...

Of course the M5 is quicker but this sort of power is useless anywhere unless you want to lose your licence or die.

Go home Mercedes

Although I own BMW, this Mercedes is really beautiful! and thanks for sharing! btw, KlumpfussProduktion dont listen to haters, good vid bro..

The Mercedes has a realllyyyy nice interior :)

thx for your support ;)

The German Autobahn is great, like the German cars. ;)

yeah. im moving to germany.

very nice video, instead of filming car in front, you are focusing on the dash..... nice one...

Vielen Dank, freuen uns immer über Feedback!

Great video, I plan on getting the E60 m5 sometime around christmas next year! I just am apprehensive since here (USA) we have no autobahn...

As you can see in the display - the SL was in ECO Mode acutally :P

Frankfurt tunnel at the airport!! Every time I come there, there are awesome cars blasting trough it making awesome sounds :P

langweilig.

Thanks!

also ich muss sagen, ich bin sprachlos. sind hier nur 7 jährige die kommentare schreiben? was zur hölle ist denn hier los? jemand der einen neuen SL 500 kauft ist durchschnittlich zwischen 50 und 70 jahre alt und will zu 98% eines: luxus. dann zu 1,5% cabrio und zu 0,5% sport. ein SL ist KEIN sportwagen! sportlich ja, sportwagen NEIN, es ist und bleibt ein luxuscruiser. und JEDER luxuriöse oberklasse wagen (nicht sportwagen!) ist auf 250 kmh begrenzt. diese sperre kann man jedoch leicht entfernen lassen. ihr verwechselt einen 500er SL wohl mit einer dodge viper oder so. ein SL hat belüftete massagesitze und ein nachtsichtgerät, glaubt ihr im ernst das ist ein reiner sportwagen oder was? ihr könnt doch keinen SL mit super luxus ausstattung mit autos wie einen golf R vergleichen, wer macht denn sowas? die konkurrenten sind autos wie der jaguar XK oder das 6er BMW cabrio, LUXUS CRUISER, wir reden hier nicht von ferrari f430s, vipers oder paganis. selbst als 63 AMG ist der SL KEIN sportwagen. sportwagen setzen auf leichtbau und haben kein gestepptes leder mit kühlfunktion und arschmassage. sich beschweren weil ein 500er SL auf 250 kmh begrenzt ist, unfassbar.. dafür muss man wirklich unter 15 sein.

what is the max speed of that merc without the limiter?

we think this too, thx for comment

Correct me if wrong, does every Benz have the speedlimiter at 250 km/h?

Thanks for comment

Sehr gutes Video, und auch immer schön geblinkt beim Spurwechesl, viele bleiben ja stur links. Mehr davon bitte.

Schönes Video!

This one is the new 2012 Version (R 231) which has 2 Turbo-Chargers. There is only the SL350 which has NO Turbo. SL63 AMG and SL 65 AMG has also a bi-turbo. If you need more Infos, go to wikipedia. There is a whole article about the SL.

The new SL is just perfect.

That looks so effortless

Well, great video by the way, but I have some questions: There are strong air turbulences at that amazing speed? But at speeds like 130 km/h?

Nice Cars. This is nice last 9 years when I was driving to England I was pasing via those two tunnels . I love that autobahn you go to Koln and Frankfurt and then up and down and ICE is on your right sight. I must say amazing both cars :). I'll be passing there last time around 5.11 shade :(. That was nice 250 and 3 800 rpm :D I do that with 180 and that is max. I do have 1.3 90PS engine but this was amazing nice fun you had guys :)

Thanks for feedback. The sl 500 is a really cool car and we had so much fun to drive. Nice Day. KFP

Electronic limiter on SL ?

ECO mode in the SL???

haha lol BMW M5..... It can't even get away from a Jaguar XFR which is half the cost, has only 8 cylinders (vs 10), a smaller engine and only 510 bhp. haha. Nice Mercedes :D

He's doing 260km/h at 3.500RPM that is amazing :p

So many idiots commenting. The SL500 is very obviously limited to 155mph. It would appear the M5 has had its limiter removed, being an M5. Do you seriously think a car with that much power and torque, would top out at 255kmh at 4,000rpm and NOT be able to go any faster? Morons.

yes he is limited. Check the 3500 rotations by 250. also air to up.

someone tell you that merc is speed limited at 250khm

No Problem, we take care of our viewers! Also with the roof down we had never problems with too much wind. The rear deflector works very well. In the SLK, which we drive earlier, the deflector wasnt so good.

The good thing about the SL Roadster is, it has a hardtop. It isnt loud in the car! Feels like you are driving a normal limo. Often you didn't realize how fast you really are ;)

that benz can't even breathe near that M5

Thanks for saying that!!! Every second comment is somthing like that, but it doesnt change anything in the video. Its a SL 500 and thats it...It is no question that the SL 500 has no chance, because the car is limited to 250 km/h. But it was fun to drive and this happend spontaneously while driving on the highway, this was not planned!

Genau so ist es. Das ganze war auch keine geplante Aktion von uns, wir waren einfach auf der Autobahn unterwegs und es kam zufällig ein M5 vorbei. Haben dann spontan entschieden mal bisschen hiterher zu fahren und dann hatten wir alle ein wenig Spass (zum Glück hat der M5 mitgemacht) ;) Sind beides wirklich super Autos, M5 steht auch auf unserer Liste für die nächsten Videos!

this car is awesome and this video is nice

What is a fuel consumption at 250kph?

Dank für deinen guten Kommentar. War auch nicht unsere Absicht den M5 zu deklassieren. Würde das eher als eine Spotanaktion bezeichnen. Der M5 kam zufällig auf die Bahn. Und wir hatten auch nicht vor, ihm press am Heck zu kleben. Daher auch der Abstand. Leider glauben einige hier das sollte ein echtes Chasing werden. Aber M5 steht noch auf der Liste. KFP

Thx, the CLK 500 is also a very nice car.

is it limited at 250km/h?

There's a bit of irony over this Mercedes. Speed is in excess of 250 km/h, throttle is floored - yet the car states to be in "ECO" mode. :D

Hahaa ..i saw you both when you have passed my truck ..! achtung shaize ,here they come ...lol

yes

very nice driving

KINGS on the roads is MERCEDES BENZ cars...!

Merc interior is just top of the game! Love it!

In the video it says 435 PS on the SL 500, this is stock! 560 PS has the M5...

Was nobody else watching this video in the top right of their screen? Next time show more of the chase and glance at the speed every now and then. Good video though!

i really love how merc changed into cool car inside and outside over last few years, still why do they use comic sans font for speed indicator? ;]

Wonder how the 63AMG holds up against the M5 though.

That might have been a cool video if THE LAME holding the camera kept the Beamer in the SAME shot w/the gauges... -Or at least steadied the camera enough to share the smoothness of these beautiful cars.

caramba olha a qualidade desse asfalto

250 kph at less than 4,000 rpm! Super cool! I'm a BMW guy myself but still appreciate the power.

I loved watching a video with a steering wheel and hands

I'm gonna visit Germany some day just for the Autobahn.

the older SL looks so much better

everything that can stay even close to an M5 has to be considered quick;) few years ago this sort of performance was amg territory

two great machines !

both great cars!!

It ain't no new Jersey its autobahn baby

Sorry, I have no information about that. I could only say that the car easily reaches the 250 km/h! I have seen a car from Lorinzer with only minimum Chip Tuning that runs 280 km/h also LIMITED.

I could follow them in my Audi A5 3.0 tdi since were all limited to 250 xD

super duels how comfortable it is shame for limitor

BMW e mais carro sem duvida!

da bleibe ich doch lieber beim R8 ;-)

Ist bei frankfurt oder?

At 2:16 you can see the sign "[speed] limits no longer apply" sign

das is der Tunnel bei Hösbach

This is not a chase.. The M5 was never threatened on the entire video

It's interesting that Horsepower: M5 (560ps) > SL500 (435ps) Torque: M5 (680nm) < SL500 (700nm) Both are great cars!

That SL is one pretty vehicle. Inside and out!

wish i could have that SL...

I was surprised how quickly that MB hit it's 255kph limiter... one day, my car will be able to do that!

BMW FOR LIFE

gusy, the M5 was not going to the limits, other ways the Sl500 has no chance versus M5

The sign which appears on the left side at 2:15 indicates the start of an unrestricted area ;)

No limits my friend. But only in some places and obviously always on Autobahns. There is a nice autobahn documentary over there in KZfaq.

limited to 250 ?

Looks like A3 to Frankfurt or going away from.
