Drift/powersliding?

Came across this on youtube randomly, dude is damn good if you ask me. Wondering how hes powersliding that AMG with an open diff...since there is no LSD from the factory...? Never seen a vid of an E55 doing such..

Dyno mode and skill is all it takes to drift that car. well Dyno mode a A LOT of skill. I have a 245 in the rear if I turn dyno mode on I can drift without trying (that is without much control unlike the guy in the vid)

I have tried drifting my E55.


Did not work all that well. The car goes into limp mode about halfway through and slide, and when its not in dyno mode, with ESP off, it does not get sideways enough to be called a drift. :/
