Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG (W221) Misbehaving Is Not Really That Inappropriate

That principle applies even if it’s the S63 AMG version we’re talking about. Yes, it comes with a pretty potent V8 engine capable of good acceleration times and high top speeds, but, let’s face it, nobody ever buys a car like this to take it to the drag strip.

Well, after you’ve had the car for a few years and you’ve begun to grow a little tired of it, you might begin to think about some modifications. Nothing big. You begin with “just the TIP” - TIP Exclusive, that is, a customization company that took care of this white example you’re about to see in this clip.

A few months and some thousands of dollars later, you’ve got yourself the most unlikely track weapon, at least as long as the track is a straight one. On second thought, scratch that, as the modified S63 AMG dispatches a chicane with ease and plenty of stability for a car its weight.

That means the big white limousine might do decently on a real track as well, but that’s something for another episode. Now, we get to see it perform a nice and short tires warm-up routine we like to call “a burnout,” just before it launches forward onto the track.

Then, it goes up against what looks like a heavily modified Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG with a color to match. The fratricide (or is the S63 AMG its father, who knows?) battle has a very clear winner that will not be disclosed in this text for obvious reasons. However, the next battle is another family affair, the S63 AMG going against a first-gen Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG.
