We are here to talk about the good old battle between BMW and Mercedes. Nonetheless, this is a rather silly fight, as we are talking about a donut competition involving a Rolls-Royce Ghost and a Mercedes SL55 AMG.
The luxurious sedan and the roadster take it out to the street, where they turn their rubber into smoke in what appears to be a random hooning session. It all takes place in a parking lot, with the cobble stone helping the cars settle in.
Of course, with such practices, there can be no discipline, so the Ghost basically bullies the AMG out of the way - the Mercedes was spinning happily when the Rolls comes towards it in a state of rotation.
This was not a near miss, but we’re pretty sure the SL driver didn’t feel pretty safe as the massive sedan was approaching backwards. Perhaps the Merc guy has one or two things to say about BMW drivers...
From this point on, the Ghost starts drifting baking donuts, with loads and loads of torque being thrown upon those poor rear tires. The SL55 AMG finally take another shot, but the car behaves as if its ESP was still on.
