Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Tells Ferrari 488, ‘Not in My House’
Despite racing on a state-of-the-art drag strip in Russia, this E63 AMG owns the track as if it were in Germany.
The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG is one of the most adored high-performance sedans in the world. Its combination of full-size usability, tons of performance, and thunderous horsepower has made it an enthusiast favorite.
While the amped-up E-Class can be found at any high-end car wash, grocery store parking lot, or school function, it doesn’t mean it can’t lay a scorching half-mile time. This video by DragtimesInfo shows exactly what the E63 AMG can do. Even though we don’t really need a reminder.
The W212 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG has a 5.5-liter biturbo V8 engine, which pumps out 577 horsepower. And if you think its rival looks like a prancing horse from Maranello, you’d be right. The new Ferrari 488 GTB features a 3.9-liter turbocharged V8 engine, producing a bonkers 661 horsepower. As you can judge from the specs, this half-mile-long drag race will surely be interesting. The Ferrari driver must’ve fallen asleep at the line, because his launch performance on both occasions is less than satisfactory. Two words: reaction time.
