Would this void the new car warranty

Probably would, but you don't have a certain way to make sure someone was drifting in the car. Right, it can become loose you can have trouble in your suspension, tires etc. But almost never can you tell a customer the have been drifting.
But the thing is, most of these cars you see drifting, are not owned by the drivers. They are rented and then given to good drivers (drifter, in this case), sometimes given money along that as well to perform an illegal show like the one in the video ^.
If you search more, you'll see brand new BMW's drifting, and I've also seen a RollsRoyce Ghost drifting once too. They are all rentals.

Did you notice the gear indicator on the dash say 5 the whole time. I think he put the thing in manual and then just stomped it. Obviously, it is shifting on its own. It is weird how at a complete stop when you go into manual mode it indicates 5th gear. Must be for protecting the transmission or something along those lines.

An LS with no speed limiter is a beautiful thing. I think US versions have 135 mph gov/limiter. Going 160 mph in a car that weighs as much as an LS would certainly be an adventure, particularly if you needed to hit the brakes hard if something got in the way.

wtf? i never heard of that before...once you go into tiptronic mode, it defaults to 5th gear. sport mode is just for the suspension via the height adjustment button iirc.

You are right. I never looked at the terminology in the owners manual. Look on page 305. S mode just enables the shift level to manually select the gears the computer allows. It is not some additional mode. If you don't manually select any gears in S mode, that looks exactly like a 5, it stay in the normal AI mode as they says until you up or downshift.
