This Evil Diesel Mercedes Wagon Makes All Other Drift Cars Look Like Stupid Toys

Say hello to Black Smoke, the world's most epic drift car. Based on a 1981 W123 Mercedes wagon (already cool in its own right) this diesel-powered drifting monster churns out up to 700bhp and 664lb/ft of torque.

Under the bonnet lies a 3.0-litre straight six oil-burner from a 1998 car which, as you can imagine, has had some work done to it. On top of the massive turbocharger - which runs up to 3.5 bar boost - this engine is also fitted with a supercharger that feeds the turbocharger. That means zero lag and maximum boost from the get-go. Anything missing? Ah yes, it's got a nitrous kit installed too...

The standard auto gearbox has also been binned in favour of the beefy unit you get in an E55 AMG and the radiator has now been relocated to the wagon's massive boot.

But enough of the details. Watch Black Smoke in all its sideways glory!
