 Jaw dropping! Never seen anything like this before......  You don't see that with a Phantom  And, I really like the looks of the 57S too. Looks very cool, even next to the W221 |

Re klier, Yep it sure is impressive ...and you would never see a Phantom doing that ..but drifting would hardly be appropriate behaviour for a Rolls-Royce anyway. As much as I like the 57S, I still think the Phantom is more desirable ....and according to the sales figures, it would appear the world's wealthiest car buyers think so too.  |

S65 for me. I want to be chauffeured in a Maybach if I get one. Am I the only one that thinks online translators suck? I mean, they translate "Maybach" into "May brook" LOL. The video is awesome (where's the one for the S65?), it's really quite in that 57S. Throwing a $400K ultra-luxury car like that around the track takes some guts |

That video is downright erie, I mean such a big car being hurled around like that. Nothing but engine and some tire noise, but nothing else. It looked like it was going to keel over on some of those turns though. That said I still want a 57S and if I could afford a 57S then obviously I'm rich so I can have a S65 too! M |
