'Top Speed Germany' is a German Youtube channel for people who love cars.
My Name is Max and I film while driving cars. No matter if they are old, fast, loud or electric. They need to be special! With several onboard cams, I record everything important to show you High-Speed-Runs, Acceleration tests ( 0-100 kph / 0-200 kph / 100-200 kph / 200-300 kph ) and test drives on German Autobahn or Road. Please note, Germany is the country of "no speed limit" highways. So in some places, it's allowed to drive very fast. But please don't try this if you are not an experienced driver !! If you enjoy give a like and subscribe for more videos ;-) .

first coolant was low as you can see from the warning light on the dash, second if you had paid some attention to the coolant temp arrow you could have prevented everything when it started overheating but you decided to drive at top speed while the engine overheating. Such a shame to see a beauty of a car destroyed by dumb people...

It hurts to see this W140 not taken care of. From the start, the engine sound was way off, even after 290, 000km, with proper maintenance should be as strong as an OM617.

Clunky door sound when closing, seat belt not working, hard gear shifts in early gears. How anyone is willing to drive this on the Autobahn is beyond me...

Any carguy with a bit of common sense would have noticed that there was something wrong from the beginning, but not the glove wearing youtuber

[TheGunsmithingMusician]

The first warning sign for me was the seatbelt lol That poor car has been neglected.

[StefanBożyszcze]

Broken cylinderhead - water comes in to cylinder, that's why it was cranking do slowly on the beginning. That's common failure in OM603 an 606 turbo. And should be a warning not to go fast! You've destroyed this engine... No comments!!!

Dashboard lighting up like a christmas tree during ignition might have been a sign for some.

[wolframsauerteig]

Wundert mich nicht. Wenn die Karre erst nach wiederholtem Startversuch zäh anspringt, dann unruhig läuft und drei Warnlampen im Instrumententräger leuchten, dann fährt man doch nicht auf die Autobahn und drückt sie ohne ausreichendes Warmfahren auf Vollgas.
Dass in der Beschreibung steht, nur "experienced drivers" sollten solche Fahrten machen, spottet dem was hier passiert Hohn. Und als kleine Spitze bekommt der "experienced driver" es auch nicht auf die Reihe, sich anzuschnallen, und fährt dann unangeschnallt... aber Handschuhe müssen sein.

[imrebese]

Fun fact: if you use your indicators, people around you might have a chance to figure out where you want to go. Also, if you use your brain, you can prevent engine damage just by looking at your instruments occasionally. But hey, the gloves are kicking ass!

This video is making me wanting to unsubscribe, dude check the gages !

Yeah something is not right, it accelerates more like a naturally aspirated diesel.

Already on its way to Albania, price not negotiable, but odometer sure.

Ein sehr schöner Wagen, der leider keine Pflege und die notwendige Inspektion bekommen hat. Am Ende seines Autoleben kommt der Handschuh Fahrer und gibt ihm den Rest 😢.
RIP S350 Turbodiesel

[germanbenzdriver]

That engine is fighting for its life 😂

[forzer]

these S350D:s are notorius for head gasket failures. Already from the beginning low coolant light, low washer fluid, bulbs broken, hard to start, no AC. A car with clearly an oblivious owner or they just don't care. Firstly it shouldn't be that slow. Should have around 150hp which should lead to about 13s 0-100 time. this took almost that to go from 60-100...

[vivalavita]

0:35 Difficult in starting
0:52 strange noises
2:04 bulb and water lights bulb on
2:10 WAY too slow -a lorry with a trailer overtook him-, Dont you think that something is going wrong?
3:01 100 c
4:00 Worse (100c-110c) -seen just 2 times in my life-
4:40 120c (warning light on)
4:52 TOO HOT? :'( :'(
Spater... KAPUTT

[OndrejHron]

older car = watching temps all the time, mission failed

[iceangel]

Very smart to put your head close to an overheating engine, when a colar might explode at any time 😂😂😂

[MrCarGuy]

The car is clearly overheating. You didn't read the coolant temperature gauge in time.

[Piccio]

It's not an engine failure but a driver failure

[POLARTTYRTM]

Oh yeah, you can see this car has actually been driven. It's a shame it hasn't been taken care of properly. :( Such a beauty.
