I recently test drove a Ford Fusion 5-speed, first time driving a manual but wow, it died a lot. RPMs for idle were really low and I didn’t know you had to keep the engine rev’ed to keep it from stalling on you. Sometimes I wonder how these vehicles maneuvered in combat, seeing how the drive now and all.

Actually the poor tiger looks fragile to me. Nurturing him, guiding him through the door….. It’s a damn King Tiger – you don’t need doors you make them!

I agree, I imagine that motor is cold. I bet she purrs well when properly warmed up. I love how you can hear the horsepower when the RPM’s came up. I understand now why our Sherman tankers were very nervous about meeting one of these in the field.

Yeah, this is what I was telling myself during the whole video: “Keep the fucking RPM up, you muppet!” I think the idle RPM is set way too low, every time he was shifting gears the engine was dying.

the engine seem to suffer … but in Paris this days its very cold ( -5 to -10°c at night ) maybe the maybach don’t like negative temperatures when starting

Ignorance is bliss right. Please read up on the unit history of 503 Abt, 506, SS 501 to name but a few Heavy Tank Battalions which served in France with both marks.
