GT5 does Merc SLS

The November issue of Top Gear magazine - on sale October 7 - sees a head-to-head battle between the two biggest supercars of the year: the Ferrari 458 Italia and Mercedes SLS.

Suffice to say it's going to be one hell of a fight... and the boys at Polyphony think so too. Last week the Gran Turismo 5 team showed us their tribute to the new Ferrari... and today they've done the same job for the gullwing SLS.

It's another gorgeous video from the GT5 lads, combining in-game footage with real actual video of the SLS thrashing around a track.

Still not convinced by the looks of the big AMG? Having spent some quality time in its presence, we can happily assure you that it's a grower. Don't believe us? Watch this clip through a few times.

And no, before you ask, we still don't have a confirmed release date for GT5. We were hoping to see it just before the New Year, but the latest rumours out of Japan suggest it might be nearer March before the game appears. Sorry. We feel your pain, we really do.

Hopefully this clip will ease the withdrawal symptoms a little. Enjoy...

What do you think?

Still not convinced on the looks of the new Gullwing, and the Ferrari was a total jaw dropper at first but now I'm not so sure. As for the Mclaren it's OK looking but has a ridiculous name. I'm going to need some convincing to part with my imaginary £150k (It would be more in euro but it's imaginary so who cares) Read an article on the SLS and it's not coming to Ireland at all, what's that about! You would be surprised to see a Mclaren or 458 here but Mercedes are just being obtuse.

From the front it looks like a mean mother fu**er lol but im still not convinced by the overall looks, something about the shape just dosen't seem right, but have to admit it sounds awsome and will probly be great to drive. But think the ferrari and mclaren will both be better and are both a lot better looking. As for the game, it looks incredible and the attention to detail is unbelievable (as per with GT games) think i might by a PS3 just for it.
