Vijay Pattni is your host for this week’s Weird World of Wheels.

Has Mercedes-Benz been eating too much strong cheese at night? Maybe it’s had out-of-date Bratwurst or some other questionable meat. Because it’s simple – cars cannot fly.

Now, we fully understand why there’s so much hysteria over the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing. Simply put, it puts the ‘oooooh’ into s-oooooh-percar. It’s got a 6.3-litre V8 engine producing a not inconsiderable 571bhp and 479lb/ft of pulling power.

It sprints from 0-62mph in just 3.8 seconds and will hit a limited top speed of 197mph. A limited top speed. Only the almighty truly knows what this rear-wheel-drive beast will accomplish if unleashed from its electronic shackles.

But the most eye-catching thing about the new mega-Merc? The thing which (probably) caught Lewis Hamilton’s eye in Frankfurt?

As a homage to the original Mercedes-Benz 300SL from the 1950s, the SLS AMG boasts upwards opening Gullwing doors.

And to celebrate the arrival of the new SLS, Mercedes flicked open the doors and ‘flew’ it to the top of their museum in Stuttgart. By ‘flew’, we mean hitched on a crane and delicately positioned. It is expected to cost more than £150,000 after all.

But this got us thinking – supercars are always getting themselves into bother, from the Lamborghini stuck in a basement, to a £100,000 Porsche Panamera stuck in a lift.

And here at Auto Trader we've brought them all together for you.
