Dude I have never heard a better sounding Diesel. What a machine.

[Will-thegrumpysoutherner]

It’s amazing how much this sport has changed since this ! That steering angle looks stock compared to the angle they pull today.

Love that he kept the luggage rack on the roof. Ready for the family vacation....

There are some Americans like me that are huge fans of diesels! Your car rocks ! I'm equally impressed with the driver as well, great show!

[wadeshinners]

This has to be one of the coolest cars ever built along with MCM's Gramps the 11 second car and Roadkill's Rotsun.

[Aldairion]

I'm still absolutely floored by this car. 3.5 bar of maximum boost pressure? THAT'S 50 PSI! Not to mention the amalgam of parts that went into it and the sheer elegance of it all. It's absolutely chaotic and mad and I love every bit of it.

[XIXjlo]

Never seen a diesel engine do that on track..amazing performance!!

[Muddymarry]

That dirty turbo whistling sounds awesome

[РемиКпекпассе]

Задний привод - сила! Красота, мастерство, зрелищность. Старый Мерс МАШИНА.

In the description "Selfmade intercooler Model: Large" :DDD

[DarknessNation]

watching this years later almost makes me want to convert my 240d into a beast like this....
"Looks at wallet" ... not happening any time soon.

[Pickchore]

Love this car. More old estate cars on drift circuits please.

[Skyerzen]

"Dad, drop me a block away from the school, I don't want my friends to see me in your wagon" Said his kids NEVER!

[Thor-]

Mercedes built the best Diesel engines!

[brianheiden]

That is one crazy ass station wagon lol.

[terminatedgt]

not going to lie if there were car like this one drifting in The United States I would go watch. Right on

[DominosDiesels]

I still think this is the sickest drifting car on YouTube, makes me want to build mine one day

[danielb]

Ofc they are from finland.. They sure know how to drive!

[FinKarjala]

I actually had a coffee with this guy, his garage is 7 km from my place :D

[kornukaz]

The torque on that monster must be... Higher that the sky! Totally awesome!
