The lavish and comfortable W222 Mercedes-AMG S 63 had never been conceived with drag racing in mind, but Brabus felt like it still needed that chance. Do you think the heavy saloon stands a chance against its less powerful, but much lighter competition?
The first contender in the video here is a fifth-gen VW GTI hatchback bolstered to 500 metric horsepower (493 hp / 368 kW). The second one is a Toyota GR Yaris capable of 400 PS (394 hp / 294 kW). The Brabus S-Class easily outmatches its opponents on paper with 800 PS (789 hp / 588 kW), 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, and a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph).
Will it be adequate, though? Watch the video and find out for yourself!
