Video: This SLK hillclimb on board may be the most mind-blowing of all
There is fast. Then there is Reto Meisel's Mercedes SLK340 Judd V8 fast. Need convincing? Just hit play and let Europe’s fastest hillclimb machine beat you to your senses.
The bum-clenching clip could easily be mistaken as video in fast-forward. Its ridiculousness reminds us of smashing lap records on Gran Turismo after a month of solid finger bashing. It is pure, unadulterated, on the edge, fill-your-pants-with-worry motor racing of the highest order, and we can’t stop watching it.
As if the searing pace is not enough, there’s added kudos for the spark-filled wheel arch camera angle too. Nice.
