Testdrivers are people. Not robots. They want to have some fun too.

Not yet, I called the dealer the other day and he said it delivery would be end of december or early january.

In the meanwhile I'm still enjoying my A8, almost 200.000 km and it still does 260 kmh with ease.

Its definitely the car slid and the driver controlled it, this was not intentional done by the driver. You can tell when a driver forces a car to drift and when the car on its own. So for E63 AMG, its Hazard to be driven in rain, that's what the clip is trying to say.

Sevor, A8 and then CL500,you do love cars and can buy the best, good luck with that champ. I can respect a man who enjoys the best of what life offers.
I too drive a 2005 500SL and love it to death, and I too have had no problems, as a matter of fact all my benzs have being perfect, that's why I can't believe the crap I hear from some of these retards. At the end of the day, I don't own MB so if they were crap I would tell you. Instead my benz is just perfect.

I thought drifting was a tasteless thing that only Japanese ricers did?

I don't think the clip is trying to say anything. So if you took an M5 turned off all traction control and took a wet curve while accelerating hard, it wouldn't slide? For that fact any car with that much power would have problems.

Interesting video that shows the power and sound of the engine.
