The fast & the famous...
 

Leno rippin' through LA in new Mercedes-Benz Gulwing SLS AMG. That exhaust is music :D

sounds absolutely hideous

Nice revs, great sound !

You got to wonder why he had to rev it like that.

Yes it sounded nice but with all the power it seemed unnecessary.

The whole video was much about nothing. These are city streets NOT a race track!
The car looks and sounds hot but we get little or no information on the car.

He didn't have to he just wanted to rev it - it's all about the music. Guess he figures there will be plenty of videos covering all the specs and driving impressions.

Cool vid(s), and Leno is Leno, as in few of us could do that vid,
as amateur talking heads...
I suspect that rev job was after it was warmed.

Titz car, for the ultra rich, but I'm with jewelthief:
it sounds like an old Moto Morini with a bad muffler, imo.
Thanks for the vid, though chilliwilli.
BR, mD

Pretty car, but I am with MD and Jewelthief with regards to the exhaust sound.

That type of aggressive exhaust is an acquired taste i guess. I don't believe Mulholland is anything like the Nurburgring...although it def' has it's moments. It attracts a fair share of lose cannons...i could be wrong but i believe the fella that bought kirkx5m's s/c 4.6is was involved in a terrible accident with a reckless motorcyclist on Mullholland.

It's a fun drive but requires caution and radar :D

Had a close call a couple years back on kawasaki ninja...was ridin' with some buddies and passed a friend at moderate speed to lead the pack towards a fav eatery (baja fresh)...as i passed, non shoulder side, there was a bend and a red NSX came flying around the bend in my lane...missed me by a foot. Reflexes and pure luck saved my ass that day.

Sounds like my blender

Man, I need a blender that sounds like that!
