Beastly Mercedes-Benz W140 S-Class Makes Burnouts Look Simple

Check out this juiced-up Mercedes-Benz W140 ripping over pavement with a comet-like tail of white rubbery smoke. This is Istvan Sywa’s massively powerful KO-Motors S-Class.

Like so many other car builders, this one is claimed to be the most powerful W140 on Earth. Perhaps, ’cause this baby moves from 0-62 in about 4.3 seconds, 0-123 mph in about 10.6 seconds, and gets to 170 in a little more than 20 seconds. It does some pretty tastalicious burnouts, as well.

As for what’s next? Well, Istvan and KO-Motors are creating a Mercedes-Camaro creature. They’re taking a 1973 Camaro and throwing in a M120 V12 Mercedes engine, a 7-speed sequential gearbox, an S65 AMG front suspension, and a Benz rear end. Because why the hell not, I guess? Should be interesting to see how that all turns out.
