E class vs Audi in Transporder III

I noticed that E class behaved fairly well especially on high speeds. However lacking of LSD didn’t allow running on two wheels. Anyway, E class looks certainly better than Audi.

I agree. I think the whole E-Class/A8 chase scene was the highlight of the movie. Too bad the E was driven by the baddies. I was watching Body of Lies (good movie by the way) and there was this scene with 5 or 6 shinny black E-Classes plowing through the dessert. Maked my heart flutter just thinking about it.

Good movie, kinda had a low budget feel to it like most Jason Statham movies, but overall good movie.

Sux how the bad guys drove the 211 though, our cars are more suited for movie characters like say..

Batman.

Its actually an A8 W12. I'm wondering why they chose that over an S8
