I saw this on our street driving home from the gym.

Yes, that’s a supercharged 5.5 litre, 368kW, 700Nm, V8 Mercedes Benz E55 with an L-Plate on it. One of the 3 fastest sedans in the world – 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds – with enough torque (that’s the happy juice that makes the car go sideways) to pull a train backwards.

If one is going to get confused between brake and accelerator why not do it in style? At least it has 10 airbags to make the stop at the end as fun and exciting as getting there. I personally can’t think of a better set of wheels to learn to drive in…
