This insane drift build starts life as a humble Mercedes-Benz SL500 but quickly turns into something far more extreme. Instead of the original V8, the car now runs a fully built Toyota 2JZ-GTE capable of handling up to 1,500 horsepower, paired with a massive Garrett G35-1050 turbo. On its lowest boost setting the machine already produces around 864 horsepower, making it an absolute monster on the track. Built largely in a home garage, the car features a full roll cage, custom fuel system with triple pumps, carbon fiber components, and a drift-focused suspension setup based on Nissan 240SX geometry.

During testing at the private Podium Club at Attesa circuit, the wild Mercedes proves just how brutal it is. The car delivers massive power and aggressive drift angles, but things quickly get chaotic when oil from the catch can causes the driver’s foot to slip under heavy braking. The result is an off-track moment that sends body panels flying and leaves the car looking battle-scarred. Despite the damage, the build proves its potential as a serious drift weapon, showing that even when things go wrong, a 900HP 2JZ-powered Mercedes drift car is still one of the most outrageous creations on track.
