Well the air intake was not submerged and neither were the exhaust pipes, still impressive. Hopefully no water got into the interior because that was an S600!

LOL, this is a repost but a longer version. I think I saw water leaking out of the door, but that might or might not have made it's way into the interior, could just have been in the area of the door cavity.

Wooow.

So, being stupid enough to drown your car is now amazing? Hate to spoil the excitement, but you don't need a Mercedes (much less a W221) for that.
