MERCEDES-BENZ SLS AMG ROADSTER – Walkaround in Rome 2014 HQ


Here another video from the 3rd day of the 32° 1000 Miglia, part of the material I’ve recorded when more than 450 vintage cars passed by Rome in the early hours of the day to sign up at the Checkpoint, so be sure to not miss any of these watching the appropriate playlist I’ve created for.
The Mille Miglia was an open-road endurance race taken through Italy 24 times from 1927 to 1957. Since 1977, the MilleMiglia has been reborn as a regularity race for classic cars only, with the participation limited to supercars produced no later than 1957 which had attended in a original race.
Each year the event sees the registration of over 300 crews showing the best hystorical cars ever made including Bugatti, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Aston Martin, Mercedes or Bentley drived by the lucky owners comprise celebrities such as Jay Leno, Jeremy Irons, Bruno Senna, Andrea Zagato, Adrien Brody and Javier Bardem.
The 2014 editon is probably the best ever, with more than 450 cars subscribed and special guess like the FERRARI TRIBUTE, with 60 Prancing Horses including TWO LaFerrari, an Enzo and a F40, the MCLAREN TRIBUTE, with 5 rare Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss and 9 SLR Mclaren and other good stuff from the automotive world.
The route is similiar to that of the original race starting from Viale Venezia in Brescia and crossing through Padova, Ferrara, Ravenna, San Marino, Ancona, Macerata, L’Aquila, Roma, Siena, Lucca, Bologna, Mantova and Verona giving the possibility to over 5 Millions people to admire this unique spectacle.

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a german supercar produced since 2010 by the Three-pointed star of Stuttgart to compete against the italian rivals Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (and F12 Berlinetta later) and Lamborghini Murcielago LP640-4 (and Aventador since 2012).
