Mercedes w124 Burnout Goes Terribly Wrong!

We all love testing our cars to the limit and often pushing more than the car can actually perform, but this is very wrong and it might leave permanent damage to our cars such as this Mercedes w124 burnout which goes terribly wrong.

These guys decided to take their car to the track and have some fun with it. It all went well and they had a lot of fun while making the burnouts, but then all of a sudden something went wrong. In the short video we see huge clouds of smoke made by the tires, which looks cool. Little did these boys knew that they overheated the engine so much that it would burst out in flames just seconds after. The Mercedes is pretty old and they should have known it limits when they decided to take it to the tracks.

We can see the guy lifting the hood and the whole base is caught on fire. He tries to hold the hood up for couple of seconds but it is so hot that he moves aside leaving the hood to close. Unlucky enough, they did not have any fire extinguisher at the moment so they could not put the fire off. We cannot see what had happened next but we can only assume that the car was completely destroyed by the fire. This Mercedes w124 burnout video is a proof of why you should not always test your car to the limit. What do you think, could have they prevent this from happening?

Now let`s see a WIN in burnout! This Dodge Charger nailed it!
