We hit 600k followers, so we made the Mercedes S600 drift!

We have reached 600,000 followers on Instagram! Hooray! To celebrate this milestone, we have commissioned artiste Davide Virdis to create a 1990s style tribute to the mighty Mercedes-Benz S 600.

If Red Pigs could drift...

Remember when we turned the Mercedes 500 E into a mad bosozoku cruiser to celebrate 500k followers on Instagram? Well, we did it again: As we hit 600k followers, we asked Davide again, this time to remix the mightiest of all Mercedes 600s. Built from 1991 to Classic Driver's launch year 1998, the Mercedes-Benz W140 S600 was the legendary V12-powered flagship of the W140 S-Class. But what if someone had converted the luxury cruiser into a contemporary drift car?

Donuts, anyone?

Davide Virdis's late-nineties design for a Mercedes-Benz 600K AMG pays homage to the iconic 'Red Pig', but takes the concept from racetrack glory to parking lot burnouts after dark. After all, what could be better to celebrate 600,000 followers than some serious burnouts with a stanced-out 1990s V12 luxury legend?
