Proper way to drive a diesel MB...

Or any MB for that matter, foot to the floor WOT.

Autobahn=punch it.

I find it funny that they are listening to a pretty weak American group, but they probably say that about us when we listen to Rammstein.

Look at the lane discipline! They get right the F over when they see a MB coming, they sure don't do that in this country.

Looks like a sweet ride, they rev up quick! So quiet though, just a dull whine. Amazing. Thats some power, rocketed to 230km/hr with ease! Thats over 140mph!!

I've seen Rammstein @ the Fox in boulder CO, not something I'll ever forget.

Thats a pretty intense vid, but I wish they'd have shown he tach.

It would have been a good video if you could hear the engine rather than the crap they were listening to.

I need to do a little tuning so mine runs like that. Ya think?

I could like fall asleep before that thing gets up any serious speed!

Not so with a more lively engine under the hood!

So in the S class, the bi turbo V12 is the best engine to get!

Mainly so it can get you to the next gas station faster.
