Taking out of account the POS subhuman driver who hopefully gets put away for good, all those Youtube comments that are saying how great of an ad this is for the E-Class and its tank-like durability are pretty funny.

The part where he was going so full speed into another car and braked so fast (miraculously WITHOUT hitting the car) that the HELICOPTER/CAMERAS couldn't keep up with catching that braking power, was seriously an incredible showing of the E's stopping power.

I wanna know what brand and model left front tire that car had!

hyperion667

man, that guy should have done something with those side markers, but at least he had the hockey stick led's right?

That doesn't seem like your typical Benz owner. I think I would do some prison time before I would want to put a scratch on my car.

K-A

Lol.

Yeah, one thing that really stood out in that video to me was the eye sore orange reflectors and yellow halogen headlights. Hey, a car geek's a car geek.

listerone

I knew it...it's a Bluetec!

xce55iv

I don't think that driver will be posting on here any time soon

Viper98912

Yeahhhh I don't think that was a 350.

I wonder if it was a 550 or 63. If 550, I just gained a lot more respect for that engine

Live Oak

And . . . must have been an E550 with P2 and Driver Assist to get through all that interfering traffic.

K-A

Definitely not a 63. Doubtfully a 550 since I don't think they come with halogen lights? Gotta be either a 2010/2011 350 gasser or Bluetec.

Edit: Do Bluetec's come available with the AMG wheels for pre-2012? That would also answer that question.

aaand the aftermath

I'm glad they pulled him out on the spike strips. I have no sympathy for these scumbags. I would like to have watched LAPD unload their weapons into that car too. The driver of that car had no care of who he killed in his ridiculous actions.

What a shame. A waste of a beautiful car.

Meth's a helluva drug ... wish the copter pilot would just shut the hell up Rear wheel drive for the win though.

mnje350

Hopefully not the newbie from the other thread!!!

thenewbie

Shhhhhhhh......

MB500

Bluetec's come with 17 inch non-AGM wheels. The guy was driving E350 gas model with P1.

That's precisely what I think as well. "More than enough power for high speed pursuits" is a good way to put it the next time a V6 VS V8 debate comes up.

Apparently the "driver" is an Armenian rapper, and apparently this isn't nearly his first vehicular violation. Stupid California laws side with criminals so much, they find their way back into the public to raise the bar on their crimes. Hopefully this moron won't get that chance for an extremely long time if ever.

i was thinking exactly the same while i was watching the video .

i have 550 w/p1, came w/halogen.

BM2BZ

i guess most of us have learned a good lesson:

1) w212 is one heck of a car. drives like normal even w/o one tire .
2) don't buy a used car in hollywood from private party .

BenzV12

Ha ha ha ha these are good points . I wholeheartedly agree on the 2nd as well

I wish that dumbass had driven something else not a beautiful car

BM2BZ

he'll ride on something else when he's in jail. oh, i mean someone will ride him like crazy when he's in jail...ouch !

hyperion667

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

wow, dude is jacked up on something!!

ImInPA

I think it is the kid with the girl friend problems from the other thread. Easy come. Easy go. Mommy will have to get him a new one.

petee1997

5 to 1 the car was stolen or we drove the kid with the girlfriend to despair.

Yosheego

I don't knowwww...that take-off seems fast especially from a helicopter view...anyone care to time that quarter mile? lol!

"...possibly creating a HUUUGGGEE alignment problem..." lol!
