- How do you become invisible to the police when driving well over 100 MPH across the entire country? Easy, you just disguise your Audi as a Ford Taurus Cop car! Arne from Cannonball garage and two friends just beat the Cannonball record driving from New York to California in just over 25 hours! It took a 600 Horsepower Audi S6, the ability to hold your pee and lots of fuel, and in this video, I get up close and personal with the car and its owner. I even get to make a few blasts on a completely closed off racetrack. Enjoy!

What car would you attempt Cannonball with? I'm going with A Gen 2 CTS-V disguised as a normal CTS.
I'd used a MB C63.
The twin turbo Caprice.
A W210 AMG Wagon..... its a reliable M113 with out the "K" but its a car that happy at +155MPH with some okay fuel milage at those speeds..... plus it can easy fit an extra aux tank. In a race like that..... reliability is everything
I'm thinking wagon. So either something like my 1997 Volvo 850 T5 wagon or a 2006 Volvo v70R. Both can be disguised as an old man wagon
Can you guys wear masks or distance to be good role models?
somebody needs to finally import a diesel A8 4.2tdi from europe, its made for cannonball run. Plenty of power with much less consumption
ruclips.net/video/-KPNz5cTZtQ/видео.html
Was thinking the same. Except the gearboxes are an issue in these when tuned.
A bmw 750d would be good aswell, the f01 has around 380hp stock, the one from 2016+ has over 400hp stock from a 3 litre diesel, they’re limited to 250kmh, but my dad used to own an e60 535d with 272hp and on the autobahn it would still have plenty of grunt to overcome atleast 160mph with the limiter took off
Or m550d
Or a VW R32 or BMW 540I
It may not be as strong as the E63 but the S6 was certainly no slouch. Arne sure knows how to build a car!
I like the timer you put on the ad, no one really does that.
Donut media does that for a long time
donut media did it with a graphic line that tells u how much time it has left
so no some people do do that
“No one really” means almost nobody, not nobody
Moment of silence for the silver E63 I did not know it had been killed
its being rebuilt so its not totally dead yet
Killed yes, be he's committed to bringing it back to service.
@@jkeating38 so he did take it to the indian burial ground
hahah been dead
Highway patrol across the nation is probably watching this like "Ohh write that down, write that down!" to learn better about the countermeasures lol
Majority of the time its their friends selling those counter measures anyway
Don’t forget Alex Roy and the book the New York State troopers used to pass out. This is the game. Always staying one step ahead. Arnie and Doug are evil genius’ when it comes to this stuff.
In Germany there is a diesel v8 Version of the a8 with software its has about 1000nm and 500hp that would be a good choice for cannon balling mercedes or bmw dont have any diesel v8 in production ( audi had 6 liter v12 biturbo diesel a few years ago sadly in a q7 but that thing was quick it had 1000nm as it comes from the factory no other audi engine reached those levels again
The old Mercedes e420 CDI had a 4L turbodiesel V8 and it is known to make 500 whp rather easily.
I am Smexy_AF which series w210 or w211 or older
@@gackhuhn4868 The W220 S Class and W211 E Class had the V8 diesel for a while.
The new s6 and s7 are now diesels
The Porsche Panamera has been offered with a v8 diesel (422hp and 850nm) from November 2016 until march 2018 in germany.
+1 on the diesel question - always been wondering if some crazy person would get a Euro M550d to drive across the country
yep :)
What if you took an old 2wd 12 valve Cummins with a NV 5600 six speed swap? You could fit much larger auxiliary fuel tanks in a pickup, could hide them with a camper shell or tonneau cover, and you can make 600-700 horse easy if not more.
@@toyotaecw why it wont work. In germany we call it CW Wert
A fast car, but boring. Feels like a 530d or 535d. You don‘t hear the engine
the 335d in europe is amazing, you can keep 250km/h with no issues if you have a tuned one, and they are really good on the fuel economy, I had one myself.
I gotta admit - the opening line of this video sounded like "THIS VIDEO IS PROBABLY SPONSORED BY AVALON KING" - even though I know you meant proudly... it caught me off guard, lol
I heard probably too 😂
I heard that too but thought, "nah" he didn't say that.
I had to replay it a few times, I kept hearing “probably sponsored” 😂
13:07 I was actually thinking about this recently (but bear in mind I'm used to Europe). I think the new Audi S6 Avant (for the chassis) would be a strong contender if you swapped the 4.0 TDI V8 into it, you'll have 500+hp and 1000+Nm with just a tune, and you could house an enormous fuel cell in the back. It wouldn't really stand out on the roads either. But then again, that takes a lot of (expensive) work to prepare, and it won't work in the US because you guys barely have wagons anymore, like you pointed out. Would still be a really cool car though after the swap
I haven't heard someone say E63 AMG so much in one video since Doug Demuro sold his wagon
Got me rollin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love his cars! The Taurus/A6 is amazing!
I'd pick up a '15 Hellcat Charger and do it up to look like a cop car, seems like an easy choice IMO
German cars all the way
It would probably get 0 mpg tho
The problem is if you change the front fascia and hood to the police ones a Hellcat will overheat.
@@strahfez9622 The Charger is kind of German, it's basically an old E class.
It'll probably break down half way through the trip.
Had no idea Arnie was a gun guy.. that's awesome!
Audi A8 4.2 TDI massive power + fuel economy
Fuel economy when driving casually, not when cruising at 100+ mph
@@cds401 its still better than gasoline cruising at 100
@Man ne yes but that's still a 3 litre engine meh.
Just started my caprice build. Which is why i was drawn to your channel. Really enjoyed this video
Thank you Alex for asking the Diesel Question! I have two 320cdi"s been woundering that for a while.
I love JDMs as much as I love Euros, and that EVO III at the shop had my heart. B.. E.. A.. UTIFUL... Please keep mentioning older gems like this and that white R32 GTR at Mancuso from the BMW 335 video you made.
F10 535d with hybrid turbos will run 600hp and would be awesome!
Imagine how many people get PTSD when this car is in their rear view mirror! -LOL This is just like those people driving the black and white or dark blue Ford Explorers, everyone on the highway slows down or don't pass- LOL
5.0 mustangs get goosebumps when they see my e63 in the rear view mirror 😊 and they have mental breakdowns when a luxury grocery getter car smokes their stang and all they see are my taillights
Ford Explorer, now that's a thought
@@diablocls55 LOL!!! Nice Bro...
@@Watchyn_Yarwood Yep! LOL!
This is awesome! But honestly, how is this dude not in prison?
Probably will be soon.
So many people get charged for dumb self-incriminating things they put on RUclips.
@@calvinnickel9995 I bet you are fun at a party.
Cops don't care about anything since covid you have to hurt a cop before they come for u
Without having proof of a specific time, place, speed, and driver (there were 3 guys in the car, two drivers and a spotter) they can't charge anyone with anything.
Cannonballers usually will let the statute of limitations lapse before they formally announce their records. Though some will wait a full year.
The S6 is so stealth; even without the disguise it “flies under the radar”.
When the fuel talk was happening I pictured the Ford Falcon from Mad Mad, with the fuel drums sticking out the back. Lol
Fixed for ya *Max
"The last of the V8 interceptors".
Not the tanker full of sand...lol
Nice Cnc shop, I noticed a couple of Haas machines. I happen to work at Haas for 9 years, and build them personally in oxnard California, cool to see stuff I build in videos I like 👍
Not having followed Cannonball strategy till now, I wondered how they managed to do such speeds without being stopped, arrested and impounded.
Thanks for clarifying.
This is hands down my most favorite car ever!
Absolutely Excellent Entertainment for Car People! Thanx, J
Funny title!! I have a 2015 Ford Taurus SHO with about 600 HP (470 Wheel HP & 495 Wheel Trq) It's got a Gearhead Tune and other bolt-ons. Love racing Mustangs, Camaros, Vettes, and the look of shock on their faces!
Me - "I don't like Audi styling... Look like Ford family cars"
Welp!
I’ve always thought Ford five hundreds look exactly like Audi A6s😂
@@diablocls55 Designer Freeman Thomas penned the five hundred, he worked for vw before ford . He also designed the B5 1998-2005? Passat= same roofline.
The regular "A" models are plain - but you get into the S and RS models - oh hell no, not one bit like a Ford car! Have you seen the 2021 RS6 Avant? Oh Lord, the fender flares, etc!
@@MidwestMotor RS6 costs ridiculous money though, 1st gen RS2 was coolest had porsche mirrors, wheels and front bumper lights
Honestly its more like the Ford taurus looks like a cheap knockoff of an Audi A6
What a cool performance shop, especially since adding AR accessories, lowers and soon complete rifles, so cool!
Bro my english sucks i dont know what this guy is talking about but this man drives in the night with sunglasses.. greets from turkey hahahaha🤌🤌
And that's why I love my c7.5 s6. She's a sleeper and knows how to get down 😉
If you make that RS7 car, you should come up with a removable tank for the back hatch and have people at your fuel up points with already filled tanks. Remove the empty one and put the full one in. Yes it’ll be heavy but 4 people would be able to lift it in alright and save a lot of fill up time. Just piss in bottles and shave like 80 minutes off your time. You’d be able to pump the last of your external into the car tank right before you stop. You’ll have to have a quick release to detach the old one and hook up the new one and your pumps would have to be in the car and not the tank... I bet you could do it!
That guys a f***kin Legend
Great video! I loved the “Taurus”!
Finally some adressing the obvious Diesel question! He's obviously right that the Diesel won't accellerate the same way. I still wonder if you don't loose more time during the fuel stops than the better accelleration cuts off. You can either cover a longer distance with the same amount of fuel, or fill up in less time with a smaller fuel cell with a diesel. And the way lower fuel consumption in parts where you can't go fast is immense. It also is very silent and won't be noticed by sound from afar like the free breathing tuned V8's.
In the spirit of all the craziness that’s happening in the world right now, everyone needs to blow off some steam. I vote for a one time, planned route, full on top speed race across the country. Gotta have the cops on board , EMS, the media.....the whole enchilada. That would be full blown fun!
They tried that in Australia in 1994 - this is what happened.... where ability doesn't match ego

Import an E420 CDI W211: Remap, filters and free flow exhaust: 402 HP 1001 N/m Torque. A beast and low fuel consumption!!
So glad I rewatched this!!!
Ernie is legendary.
Incredible. You guys are as smart and clever as you are fast. Absolutely love the car.
The caprice though😍😍😍😍
This is just down and dirty speed. I love it.
'96 Caprice wagons were used as K9 units for years. Full body on frame cars.
A Volvo V60 with a tuned D5 engine (350 Hp) and a gas tank big enough for two stops. Refueling in truck stops for a bigger gas flow. Also using night vision goggles would help to go fast at night for the beginning in New York and the end in California.
Woot! A Friday upload !
“Crook County” ❤️ that shirt and holy crap, so true!!
I live downtown...almost time to loot the Nordstrom 😂
jk
You need one.
@@arnesantics3536 I put an order in for one after I saw it on VinWiki. Should be somewhere between the US and Australia at the moment.
I'm a simple man. I see a timer on an ad I click thumbs up
back in the day E36 M3 my first experience Cannonball
Arne’s shop is badass
I will say the S6 looks so much better than the E63. I got only an A6 at 500hp, and I love it. I would love to get an S8 and bring it up to 800-900hp. They do 0-60 in 2.6-2.9s.
A diesel Audi or BMW tuned would have a ton of power and a crazy range.
I really want one of those geared cubes in metal :D
Just call the Cannon Ball garage. Just look up that number with your maps app. (I'm being a smart allick but it might actually work, let me know if it does.)
Right behind my Fire station, I know where my Audi is going soon!
This guy is amazing guns,cars,gears what is next?
Thought you were going to blow past the Evo III. Glad you gave it some attention!
This is was interesting to watch, thanks for a good change of pace. And rip E63.
I like the diesel thought and you weren't going let it die easily. Hmmmm maybe a new Cannon Ball fuel category???
Brake light kill switch a MUST
In EU we got a 313bhp A6 BiTDI Competition. Imagine tuning a car like that. :) It's like the prologue of the Audi S6 TDI
The facelift has 326 and 346 in boost mode ;-)
Maybe a diesel truck? Say a LBZ 6.6 Duramax. Throw some love and a live tune at it and fill the box with fuel cells. Put some sort of bio hazard decals and a capper on it 😏
During the Diesel conversation I had to laugh at the "geesh, shut the F up already!!" Look..
Wow...making AR lowers seems like the right business to be in right now. Although, I don’t know if it’s such a good idea to be on the ATF’s radar if you plan on doing future cannonball runs.
I need his “crook county” shirt very original 💯💯
Alex, I can think of a Audi/VW Diesel that could be swapped into station wagon/estate. 5.0 V10 TDI from the old Touareg. Could get some power from that....
That motor is such a piece of junk though. I also believe they put it in A8s in Europe.
Amazing video subject! Please do a follow up! I'd really like to get as much information on the car prep work that goes into making a Cannonball car. You know, making it actually last the entire run without breaking and all the counter measures and how difficult it is to research and implement all of these. But thanks so much for a glimpse into that world!
Visit the VINwiki youtube channel. Ed Bolian in is THE GUY to fill your brain with what you seek.
Thanks! I recall watching a VINWiki video about a Cannonball record, but there wasn’t much in the way of technical informations. I’ll have to look again. Thanks for the tip!
There's quite a bit of info on Google, just research cannonball cars and preparing for cannonball....
quinn boone thanks, but that’s what I did after watching VINWiki’s video. I guess I’m expecting more in depth, DIY information and everything I’m finding so for is people using off the shelves solutions.
Hi Alex.🖐 I absolutely loved this video for the modded cars and the machining! Hard to believe those guys made that Audi ---> Ford conversion in three days... very impressive! Such a capable car in a vanilla wrapper that not many would even notice.👍 As a machinist and programmer since '95, I naturally gravitate toward anything machinist-related. Looks like they're making the type of parts I would be interested in making instead of 500 to 3,000 horsepower electric motors. LOL! Thanks for the fantastic video, my friend. Y'all have a wonderful weekend.🙌
I was going to comment on your question about running a diesel as it was a brilliant one and to suggest some of the European performance diesels like the BMW X5 M50d or Audi A8 V8 TDI or even a VW Touareg V10 TDI and saw that as few had already mentioned this! I think it would make a really good challenge.
93 or 91 octane 😅 As a German this is very funny. In Germany 95 octane is the bad one. 98, 100 and 102 is what we drive in this cars
That's because European petrol is based on RON (Research Octane Number) but in North America we use a number that's RON / MON *2 . An average of both values. So 93 is equivalent to 100 or 102.
What? You have 102 octane fuel?🤯
Best we have in blighty is 98 ☹️
Daniel L. Miotto No your 93 octane is equal to european 97-98 octane
This guy sounds like a girl after a bad break up “the e63 amg” every other sentence
If you had an e63 and some passed out trucker destroyed it, you'd be sad too.
@WhistlinPlumbinzGarage. Lmao you nailed that. Am I the only one who thinks this doesn’t look like police interceptor at all? The emblem is the best/only (in my opinion of course) thing on this car that makes my brain go COP COP COP..
@@OnEst_Opinion it doesn't look like that to you because you know cars. To the average Joe, they have no clue. A lot of people don't know that all cop cars are american cars.
Wait "I had an E320 CDI" Why did you sell it? I'm probably not the only one who's gonna miss it... :c
These guys should install a cell phone signal blocker or interceptor. Set it up so the calls are directed to you. They make these things for police/government
Crook county shirt is awesome
You need one. LOL crookco.com/collections/men/products/land-of-the-free-t-shirt-black
On the Le Mans 24h race the diesels were winning. Then the FIA decided to put them in some disadvantage by allowing the petrol/gas race cars to carry more fuel.
If you would put a Peugeot HDi 5.5 litre V12 twin-turbo engine to any car that would do the job.
I loved this video.. I would have given it two thumbs up if it was possible. I would love to see one of the late model Ford Explorer's used for a Cannonball Run.
I'm just here going through the comments trying to uncover any info on what a cannonball record is and why not use a Taurus SHO?
The cannonball run is when people drive all the way from the east coast to the west coast as fast as possible. the SHO does not have the power.
EVO 3! ❤️
It does look like a straight up Taurus cop car!
You asked the question I wanted asking regards diesel, outstanding. Also great vid cheers.
.... a station wagon with pretty much a tone of fuel on board, "this is going to get out of hand, it will get out of hand and we will be lucky to live through it".
17:18 PRAISE BE FOR THE United States of America.
I would use Porsche Panamera 4.0TDI, it can be tuned to about 500bhp and 1000Nm torq. Your idea of a diesel with better mpg and also power could work with this.
Problem is: it's still much slower in acceleration and also the Panamera is a pretty obvious car, not possible to hide in traffic like you can do with the Ford-Audi
Yo, car shop AND FFL shop at in one place - who do I send my resume to?

What about a separate CANNON BALL RUN CHALLENGE category for diesel powered vehicles, another for electric vehicles, hydrogen powered vehicles, etc?
Impressive also is the Cannonball Fred solo in his Mustang a record for a single person
That was NUTS
I still think that the solo feat was more impressive.
Mark these words. There will be a record setting run with either a modified truck, suv with suspension to handle the extra fuel tanks to run coast to coast with very few stops.
Done it in the 80s and even made a movie about it. The time savings is in not getting police calls about a speeding vehicle at 120 mph. An Audi is just faster to 180 than a Ford suv if it can even go that fast safe.
Chevy SS that's been boosted, they look like a Malibu. #Sleeper
They are basically a Caprice, it would look completely unsuspecting in States that use Caprice PPVs.
Frigging genius!!!
Congratulations on the FFL
Im going with the supercharged renntech e63 that your reviewed a while ago, that thing is a monster
Something like an Audi SQ8 turbo diesel V8 would be able to do the run quite well, with more economy and just as fast.
Fucking love the Crook County T-shirt. Kim Foxx needs to be voted out.
The crook county shirt tho.......😂😂😂😂😂 Chicago here too
Love the crook county shirt
Crook county shirt lol
Rather than changing engine maps to run on lower octane fuel or at higher altitudes, why don't they toss a few DynoTab octane boosters in with each refill? It takes seconds, they take up almost no space and they don't cost a lot. I keep a pack in my car's centre console (along with injector cleaner tabs) in case I get a bad load of fuel or can't find high octane.
That was the baddest fake cop car in the world!! Would it be illegal to have a light bar on your roof that only had amber or white lights, just for the extra effects? Too bad he couldn't have a 007 license plate or changeable led screen. When the Cannonball race is on, does everyone start at the same time?
This is SO good!
Where can I get that crook county t shirt!!
