Soon after Mercedes put in production the new S classe, claiming it was the words best auto in any cathegory, many of the critics questioned their authority. To prove Mercedes's point, in a joking manner, the auto magazine "auto express" decided to make a drift competition between the new model and one of the drift icons, Nissan 200 sx.
This is not their first crazy race. Some other battles include Honda Civic vs lawn mower and superbike vs BMW M5.
Nissan 200sx
The Nissan is specially prepared for this kind of race. It weighs only 990 kg, its driving force comes from a 2.0 liter turbo engine, producing 520 hp and 480 neuton meters of torque, more than enough to spin the rear wheels.

On the other hand the Mercedes looks humble compared to the drifters funky exterior. Allthough it weighs nearly 2 tons ( 1995 kg), the outher appearance ofthen lies, because this mounster in a suite is backed up by 900 neutons of torque and 520 horses produced by the brutal 8 cylinder V shaped bi-turbo engine.
Which car would you drift ? In which of the cars would you hold a glass of wine while traveling sideways in a courner ? Watch the video.
