This is beyond badass. I wonder if it was real.

Probably not, fake commercials/videos are popular right now.

If it is real I bet it was a stuntman and not Michael Schumacher that did it.

That is a cool commercial.

I had heard for years that a few cars can do this. one of them was either the Ferarri F-50 or the Enzo (can't remember). The reason it would be possible would be because of the low ground clearance and the down force creates a suction force. The claim went so far as to say that at a certain speed , the car could even stay inverted (on the cieling). This car does not look nearly low or aerodynamic enough for that effect at first appearances, but could probably pull off the full flip on momentum. I suppose most any car could theoretically do it, as long as it could achieve the right speed.

but you can guarantee the commercial was fake. especially with a fire crew and truck underneath.

F1 cars produce enough downforce to run upside down..

yea, i am sure, they are half airplane - i was talking production cars.

I can believe this..

Jeremy did it in a mini in a sewer on top gear once.

True I do remember that episode now.

yeah it's definitely possible, the jackass guys do it on skateboards. It just takes enough speed.

I just don't believe this one cause the firefighter crap.

F1 cars weigh scat nothing and create twice as much downforce as they weigh. Almost impossible in a production vehicle due to packaging and safety concerns, BUT using momentum to carry your CG thru the upside down part of the roll is possible. You just have to work out about how many Gs it would take to hold it to the top for the length needed to complete your roll...
