Mercedes E55 AMG Is Laughably Fast

By Christian Moe - July 20, 2015

HAHAHAHA! I have seen some fast AMGs in my day, but this machine is laughably, insanely fast. It literally made me burst into laughter at my desk. According to the vid description, what you are looking at is an E55 AMG with a few pulley upgrades to crank the boost up to about 23 pounds. This video is shot from the passenger seat of a helpless LS2 GTO that can only seemingly sit still as the Mercedes rockets down the road.

Seriously, I can’t even put into words how quickly this car speeds down the highway. You just hear this explosion of noise and the AMG is gone. I half considered trying to Photoshop some flames in the shot to make it a modern day Back to the Future launch scene, but this car really doesn’t need CG to be a hit.

Now the video starts off dark, but just give it a second. Right about the time the noise kicks in, the car hits some street lights and you can see it just fine as it disappears into the horizon. Also be warned, there is a touch of NSFW language at the end. Please also remember that this is filmed on a public street, and doing things like this on a public street is bad, and stupid, and dangerous.

Now, you’ve been warned. So press play already!
