- Mercedes GLA 45 AMG on the road to 'hell' - Top Gear
Deep in the Swartberg mountains in South Africa lies the remote settlement of Die Hel, accessible by just one highly dangerous road… well, dangerous if you bring the wrong car. You must have a 4x4, a local guide told us, so in the interests of making this a proper adventure, we found ourselves the least appropriate 4x4 in the world.
The road itself is a mere 48km long, but the drive is two and half hours if you’re lucky enough to avoid a puncture, cracking your sump or plummeting to an untimely death. All the while you know that with just one way in and the same way out, every km closer to hell is a km to be relived fleeing in the other direction.
The plan, wonderfully simple and perfectly foolish, was hatched with the spirit of adventure coursing through us… in the sanctuary of an air-conditioned office in London. There is a town, well, a smattering of small buildings, buried deep in the Gamkaskloof valley, itself sandwiched like the filling in a taco by the mighty Swartberg mountain range five hours from the hive of Cape Town. It’s known simply as Die Hel, “the hell”, a name given to it by all those that experienced first hand just how brutal the climb then descent into the valley could be, whether via donkey tracks in the oldene days or the rubble road today.
I wish Jeremy Clarkson was driving there screaming "POWER"
I used to own one , this thing is a certified rally car though at that price it still made me wince when I took it on unnamed roads in the uk.
Altough I would not try this with such an expansive car, for the paint and tires, this shows one major avantage of GLA compared to other cool models like shooting brake, and several sport competitors: simply the capacity to go in town without damage... great video!
Wow, so risky driving a graded road at 25 mph. Very impressive.
Yeah 💀
impresive.. the mercedes survived the common dirt road :D
I think I missed you reviewing the car?
FOR THE GLA
Half of Greece is like that
I guess any car could've done that... Old top gear would have used the AMG to set a new speed record... Or they would've done that as a challenge with e.g. "cheap cabrios".
Generally not impressed...
Any car can cover that road. It is better than any so called highways in many countries. Too much drama!
Using SA number plate. I'm impressed.
My wife could make that run driving backwards.
Ccome to Leh ladakh, This roads are far better.
Is this a holiday review?
I will watch Amazon ,this is not top gear.
for AMG very nice !!!
Wow first clip of Top Gear i've watched since Clarkson, May, and Hammond left.. how did it get THIS bad??? I've seen better car reviews/features by youtubers. This is just sad.
Worst review ever seen! How did you felt driving it offroad.. you talked more about the place than the drive experiance. You sould change the titel of the video
Omg have you reached 10mph at least? Top geat should puah the cars on sich roads not just drove around in first gear
Lol this guy hasn't been to India
