Real or animation? My bet is faked...

Fake fake fake. All the firemen standing at the outside of the offset before the ramp, right where he'd mow them down? Suuuuuure. And what about the continuous rows of light fixtures that he magically drives right through?

Looks cool, but it's absolutely CGI.

Some might say it just took a long, long, long time to return to his roots:

Sauber-Mercedes c11, circa 1991..............

That commercial looks as real as any chest displayed in a Vegas show-girl revue.

definitely fake. The commercial was made before Micheal had even signed for the team. He was CGI'd in afterward.

(and yes, the tunnel trick is fake too.)

+1 Best looking modern Merc i think they have ever produced. Prettier than the SL Black Edition. However i doubt it will be a "drivers car" but i can hope.

You guys know it is 90% Viper underneath right? MB waved a magic wand at it but there is a reason they never allow anyone to show them side by side.

perhaps one of the ugliest cars I have seen in quite some time - horrendous. Well at least it doesn't look like a Honda which one recent merc does. Looks like the bastard offspring of an RX-7 and a Crossfire.

Hoping it comes with a proper transmission. Not that I could afford one anyway.
