New W215 CL55 Drift Video

Yeah I know it is a bit sensationalistic and over the top, but what the hell look how well the CL55 is drifting. Not sure if somehow the driver completely disabled the nanny under the hood, because as is well known the CL will give you one tail wag with the settings off but generally not two. Kudos to this guy, hopefully no one out there will now complain about the car jumping the shark.

Your worst nightmare...
Not bad!!!!...I got to hand it to the driver though. Not an easy task keeping a 4600 pound monster under control like that. Very nice otherwise.

That's the MKB CL55...there's more video on Youtube of this monster drifting around the Ring, among others.

BTW, It's trunk is filled with a water ballast tp spray the rear tires and "help" the rear-end drift better. Good stuff!

(found it)

after looking at the first video i was amazed how well the CL was drifting. then watching the second 1 you can see how many mods were done in order to accomplish those drifts

Wow, that is an awsome video. I'm very impressed with the CL55 and the driver's ability to remain under controlled drifiting action for that long
