Random Snap>> Drifting W123

I have seen my fare share of strange drift cars but I never saw this combination. A Mercedes W123 doing its thing in I guess Norway or Sweden ? Could it even be a diesel looking at the black smoke coming from the rear ?

Johan Perers, swedish rookie of the year 2009 or something. And winner of the national rookie series.



These 600hp beasts are road going diesel mercs.

2

Its a merc, yes. Diesel? yes. Norway? NO :D . This is from Finland. Driving local Pro series. (Shot is from some stunt show). Gues someone was faster telling you the right answer ;)

This is my friends car, team Black smoke racing from finland.

We had invited him on our Drift show at our home town.

Check out a video on our home page drift-garage.com

The owner of the car is from finland.

Epic win. I've always thought the W123 wagon was M-B's best all-around, most practical car ever (and I used to work at an M-B dealership). Seeing one drifting with the diesel fumes pouring out the back is just epic coolness for me.

7

Just a little correction, its from Finland, and yes diesel

8

It is diesel ;)

9

It's a finnish driver called Teemu Peltola. Powered by Mercedes own 3litre diesel engine.

10

11

This car is in Finland and driver name is Teemu Peltola, Black Smoke Racing. Very unusual drift car! xD

13

I sure hope its a diesel. If not its time for a new motor.

14

15

Cool benz!

16

Actually it´s from Finland and it is a diesel.

17

Its the Black Smoke Racing Mercedes and they are actually based in finland. I have seen them with my own eyes drifting in Estonia and the black smoke thats coming out of this thing is just amazing

18

Oh, so strange, got to love it!

19

Who said diessel cant drift? :D this one smacks you in a face.. :D but i wonder how long the engine goes with that much horsepowers in it..

20

That car is from finland and the driver is Teemu Peltola, Black smoke racing. And yes, it has diesel engine :)

21

JOKE WAS SELF MADE! FFFUUUUU! FFFFFUUUUUUU!

22

Bahaha! This brings me back to when I was a kid messing around with a Mercedes W116 with some pals. It was quite amazing the things that me and my friends were able to get that old 450SE ("the boat") to do.

23

finland!

24

Yep, that thing is from Finland, we actually have some other nice cars, that someone could post in here, just like Mikko's camaro with LS-7.

25

So wait, is this from finland? cause ive seen like 10 posts saying that now and im not sure.

27

It's Finnish. Saw this car in Estonia and it rocked. By the way, there are some cool driftcars in Estonia too, e.g. BMW 2002 and a mid-engined turbocharged Audi Coupe(typ 81)

28

there's some crazy people out there..

29

I am in love. Diesel power and drifting action. Awesome.

30

The Eco-Hippies will love this!

32

That's kinda cool.



Here in the philippines a team here drifts a Mazda BT50 pick up truck. and its a diesel too. it's kinda strange and kinda cool at the same time. :D

33

34

http://www.youtube.com/user/BlackSmokeTube her is some more videos of the drifting family wagon.

37

it's from Finland (kokkola ) :D

38

i have always loved these benz diesel wagons. My Dad's friend had one for like 20 years and he worked for mercedes. He had a bunch of cars but he liked the wagon the best for some reason..more than his SL!!!! The last time i saw it, it had 650K+ on it and it was sitting on AMG wheel from the 560 SEC!!!

39

Love the W123 wagon. I also drive one, but not as sweet as the one above. I get skid pad time with it and get attention. You typically dont see old Benzos drifting, even on a wet skid pad.



Nice photos !
