They've got that thing really well camouflaged. Vid quality is also shit but i really can't make out any tell tale signs that it's a 7 except for the trunk.

I wouldn't call those drifts in any event. it's probably a suspension test of some kind.

I wonder how many 7-Series owners or chauffeurs are going to drive the car like that? One or two?

Seems that BMW is going back to its roots... with RWD cars funny to drive, even if it's the 3-tones 7-Series
3 Tonnes = 6000 lbs...???

lots of tire squeal and not much drifting and you can tell it has really heavy camo from the pics at the end of the clip
