Owning a Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG is probably one of the coolest ways you can spend time behind the wheel of a sedan that makes you smile everytime you mash the go-fast pedal into the floor.
Its ability to scare small children and animals from a mile away by simply revving its 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated monster of an engine is only surpassed by its propensity to simply turn the rear tires into dust if the electronic nannies are completely turned off.
As a matter of fact, this is exactly what happens in the short video below, where a Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG W204 facelift completes a rather smoky burnout in the middle of an ecstatic crowd of onlookers who are probably drooling from the overdose of auditory and visual delight.
According to the British supercar spotter who shot the video, the car was attending a monthly Gumball meeting in the South West of London, and a glorious burnout was probably the best way to gather attention among a sea of supercars.
As most of you know, the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG is powered by a hand-built 6.2-liter V8 that simply relies on natural aspiration to develop between 457 hp and 517 hp on the Black Series Coupe.
Sadly, this epic engine will go out of production later this year, with a newly-developed four-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 to take its place in the upcoming C 63 AMG (W205) and the GT AMG (C190).
Until that time arrives, let's just feast our eyes and ears on this rather smokey destruction of a pair of rear tires, coupled with a short drift into traffic right at the end.
Alex handled his first real steering wheel at the age of five (on a field) and started practicing "Scandinavian Flicks" at 14 (on non-public gravel roads). Following his time at the University of Journalism, he landed his first real job at the local franchise of Top Gear magazine a few years before Mircea (Panait). Not long after, Alex entered the New Media realm with the autoevolution.com project. Full profile
