No problem! Here's the information about the Mercedes CLR GTR: The Mercedes CLR GTR is a remarkable racing car celebrated for its outstanding performance and sleek design. Powered by a potent 6.0-liter V12 engine, it delivers over 600 horsepower. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes approximately 3.7 seconds, with a remarkable top speed surpassing 320 km/h. Incorporating advanced aerodynamic features and cutting-edge stability technologies, the CLR GTR ensures exceptional stability and control, particularly during high-speed maneuvers. Originally priced around $1.5 million, the Mercedes CLR GTR is considered one of the most exclusive and prestigious racing cars ever produced. Its limited production run of just five units adds to its rarity, making it highly sought after by racing enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
@@michaeltrumph121 i was only making a point about making the match between versions and the other cars in the test. Not sure which colour I like the F1 in best. I really dig the papaya of the LM promo shots. The stance with the side skirts and the squarer cooling intakes in the nose is just, mmm chef's kiss.

I watched the “owner’s guide” to this car. It was amazing how many times the guy said something along the lines of “you just do this but then sometimes that doesn’t work so you do this instead and, if that doesn’t work you do this and this.” It takes a TEAM of people to remove the engine cover. Absolute insanity in the best possible way. The 14 year old me from the 90’s is giddy to watch this.
@@boomerang-digital8514 Now they are perfectly daily drivable, they don't bite in comfort mode (oh the irony) and everybody complains how it doesn't have enough space to store luggage. Like wtf? Those cars back in the day could kill you every time you step on them properly.
I cannot imagine how much the insurance was to cover for all three of these cars - it has got to be one of the most expensive shoots that Carfection has ever done. Thank you so much for this. I only leave the comment here to help with the algorithm, if the video is worth it, and it is.
@@WarrenF agree. also the speeds were so low there was almost zero concerns regarding a crash. It would have been awesome to see on a real track at some higher speed.
It wouldn’t be a road insurance required by law but likely a policy similar to track day insurance provided by specialist insurance brokers. I’m guessing the excess is astronomical but probably economically viable premium for filming the cars over a few days
@@smilepermile8165 just what i was thinking. With semi slicks on a damp road a little too much throttle is enough to spin a mid engine car. Without insurance i wouldn’t even drive this thing to the gas station.
I think it has a lot to do with the stories behind them, don't get me wrong their looks and quality are also extraordinary and nothing short of iconic, but it is also a fact that they do compare with today's modern hypercars, but what really sets these titans apart are their stories both in R&D and street use, here being both the stories behind the owners and the achievements on track
I believe this is the closest one can get to shooting a perfect car video. The line-up, the cinematography and the commentary. Just perfect. I've been a huge admirer of your channel for a long time now. Can't even imagine what it would have been like to get to drive these legendary cars. And that Miura totally stole my heart @ 6:52
I dont think there's a car journalist out there that can touch Henry's passion, knowledge and eloquence when it comes to presenting. If I were producing Top Gear I'd definitely be giving him a call.
I think there is nothing else remains to experience after CLK GTR. That car is just emotions for so many people, without even having seen it personally.
I had a diecast model of the Le Mans Racer with the D2 Privat/Warsteiner etc stickers when I was little. Very fond memories, since then I've always wanted to drive one. Thanks Carfection!
It’s testament to the purity of the F1’s design that to beat it on the track, Mercedes and Porsche had to build bespoke racing cars and then adapt them to the road.
Cars like these is what I was hoping for for the new hyper car lemans. But to bad the manufacturers don't want to play ball like that. It was the best chance to bring back the feel of the awesome gt1 class
Big props to DK Engineering for making this happen. I follow their stuff online and they have all their cars driven to all sorts of locations for photos to be done and they are not afraid to get them out there for people to enjoy! ...unlike some other dealers who won’t even let anyone breathe on the cars.
@@megamastah not the same thing because the “black series” is limited edition of the AMG line and the Turbo S is regular production. There have only been a handful of black series version AMG vs only two GTR versions of AMG. The AMG CLK GTR and the recent AMG GTR Pro.
I know the CLK-GTR isn't the best on paper, but boy does it give me a feeling in my gut and heart that no other car really compares to. The design of it is just so amazing.
Lol, in the GT1 division it was so dominant it won 17 out of 22 races, and was so good Porsche and McLaren gave up and let the series. Don't ever doubt its performance.
I was introduced to him by my colleagues few months ago after I lost about $40,000 USD in the stock market crash, he has helped me stand on my feet and recover all I lost in the stock market and even more than bitcoin trading
Bring the nissan R390 in for good measure too.. and wasn't there a toyota equivalent road car of the GT one? Digging deep in my ps1 gran turismo knowledge here
The only Toyota Gt one road version is in germany, cologne in the toyota museum! And fun fact: the gt one was also build in cologne. Heres a video from a german youtuber, you can see the gt one there! ua-cam.com/video/Rh1GT2g2ssU/v-deo.html
I definitely perfer these to the newer P1, 918 and LaFerrari. I remember reading about these in car magazines when they were new. I hope someone makes posters of these three. In high school I had a 959 on my wall. Catchpoole's commentary is informative and memorable. This is the last of the old school supercars. Great content as usual. This is why I subscribed. Please keep up the good work. Thank you.
Got tears in my eyes during the last part. Lusting after these and content about it as a child, seeing this now some 20+ years later is just ... incredible. Never thought I'd get to see this.

All three are so iconic in their own right. Driving them back to back must have been such a surreal experience, how could anybody choose. What I will say is that this is what AMG meant to me, as an 80’s child nothing fascinated more than seeing those three letters on the rear end of a Mercedes. It is a crying shame that the brand has been so diluted, to the extent that it means almost nothing anymore. Great work Carfection!
While some of AMG isn't great, they are still an incredibly special brand. The AMG F1 team is one of, if not the absolute, best Formula One teams of all time, and continue to make the absolute fastest racecar the world has ever seen, year after year. AMG's truly insane roadcars still exist, especially with the Black Series. I was lucky enough to drive an SLS Black Series on a track and it's just as ridiculous and over-the-top as I hoped it would be. They also have the Project One coming in the next few years, which is literally an F1 engine dropped into a roadcar. It's going to be utterly brilliant.
Those last couple of shots mixed with the narration and the background music brought tears to my eye. Absolutely brilliant, thank you for this masterpiece
In grade 7, my older brother told me to make my first hotmail account. I sat there infront of the keyboard for about 15-20mins trying to find my username. All that time, I was trying to decide between McLaren_F1 (tho, it would have been McLaren_F11 if I had picked it because some chump already had "F1"), and CLK_GTR. To this day, I still use my clk_gtr hotmail account. Thanks for the memories!
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime...:-((((
Good shout. Did that thing not use the Ricardo V8 that was then adapted to go into all of the Modern day Mclarens? Maserati MC12 is probably the most modern day version of this too.
Is that an aftermarket head unit? In a CLK GTR with plastic to preserve the originality of the door sills, somebody installed a Kenwood with color changing LEDs. I swear, aftermarket head units are the absolute plague of youngtimer cars.
Stunningly shot and written. Well done, Henry. Let's turn this into a proper documentary series for Netflix or HBO and take it several levels deeper. I suspect im not the only one who would watch multiple hr+ long eps.
2x as many people decided to watch Doug Demuro talk about an electric ford f150 than watch Henry DRIVE the 3 most insane road cars ever made...criminal
Oh My... the GT1 FIA Class of late 90s gave us some of the most beautiful prototypes ever seen: *Mercedes CLK GTR & LM and CLR, Toyota GT-One, Porsche 993 & 996 GT1, McLaren F1 GTR Short and Long Tail, than the Nissan R390 and the short appearance of Lotus Elise too...* What an awesome Era for Endurance! ♡
I don't know how true it is but i read somewhere that exactly because they were so many good cars and people loved them fia killed the class since Formula 1 is their cash cow but most people wanted to watch this in the 90s.
@@victormanin2074 well, that's Bernie Ecclestone repeating the kill of the World Sportcars Championship in the early 70s (that was WAAAY more popular since the 1950s compared to the Grand Prix for open-wheels cars and the following F1) with a well-planned business move that brought sponsors (money) and speculating onto the energetic crysis which demonized the endurance racing for it's enormous need for gasoline, with the result of destroying what was the Golden Era of Racing, when there was no sponsor, pure racing at it's finest, made of drivers which raced for hours and hours pushing both them and their machines at the phisical limits. And I hope all of you will remember the decline that started for the same reasons I just said, of what was the Greatest Race in the World, the 24 Hours of Le Mans - which, luckely, nowadays is gaining more and more fans, less or more interested in Endurance, and my personal hope, as a fanatic of the 24 Hours de La Sarthe, that this new Hypercars formula will in some way bring us back to the same level of interest that took place first in the late 90s with that GT1 formula. This is my opinion, I don't want to say that F1 is rubbish, but I can assure you all that it's loosing spectators and public, when at the other side, the WEC enthusiasts are growing in number as the time passes by. Let's hope for a bright future for Endurance and Le Mans. Have y'all a nice day dear Petrolheads! ;)
Humanity peaked with these cars...... I dont believe that this appeal and legendary status could ever be replicated. Hopefully somewhere in the near future, smart engineers will start 3D print these so that rest of us mortals can experience what hypercars used to be like.
CLK All Day Any Day, CLK GTR gang gang where you at. This car is by far the ultimate old gen king, the flying CLR made this even more iconic. I cant stress enough how good this car is.
McLaren F1 for me...not sure I could even afford the maintenance though...if id have won the lottery I definitely would have been getting the Gordon Murray T50😍
I'll be watching this series again nd again for few years to come and end up with goosebumps everytime... That narration & cinematography is litt... And that dramatic end!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
damn tht thing is so low to the ground. wouldn't be able to drive it on the majority of the roads in my country without destroying it, too many potholes, speedbumps, etc
This has to be the most magnificent piece of automotive coverage I've ever watched. The true stalwarts of the their times, and the progenitors to the whole hypercar segment. For me it'll always be the CLK-GTR. Beautiful piece of machinery which sounds just oh so divine!
First and only premiere I’ve ever watched! Doubt I could fit in this, at 6’4 and 17 stone and entirely inflexible I might get in, but you’d have to chop it up to get me back out again 🤣
Amazing. I was a teenager becoming an adult when those cars came out, when they won Le Mans, etc.... I could only dream on driving them. Still do today (dream on driving one of t'hem maybe)
I'll always be mesmerized by how Henry delivers his reviews, simply amazing and he includes enough details to give a sense of us actually being there. Outstanding as always!
Great series, thank you. If I could have 1, it would be the F1, hands down. Not because its so valuable, or the history (which is amazing), but mostly because its a center drive 3-seater. That and the engineering make it a one-of-a-kind experience. Subscribed.
sure better than"modern" road cars remember these arent old either, they have full race pedigree, this mean very much on the track, today what current supercar have it? technology in races is always decades ahead,they maybe miss some electronic gizmos but they are real racecars,..
Wow, Henry congratulations on the best mini-series I’ve seen on UA-cam! 🙌🏼 Incredible cars, narrative, videography, everything - well done and thanks for bringing it to us.

Why do car engineers never get it perfect? Its either the car is sporty and beautiful but tiny and claustrophobic from the inside, or its beautiful and wide inside but very minimal and not impressive but a beast from the outside? Why they cant make the perfect sport car? Beautiful from the outside, wide comfortable, with millions of buttons inside, very fast, can fit 5 people, normal luggage space, air conditioning, loud and crisp stereo system, easy on the fuel...why not? Its like always something is missing with those super cars 🤷♂️
Since 1955 the Mercdes have bad luck in Sarthre...and one was a CLR..back in 98 i think, where it make a loop in the air for lack of air downforce at the front. but much respect for the Sauber C9 GrC.......

You sir, are a brilliant storyteller! So captivating and enthralling. Massive props to you and the Carfection team! 👏👏👏
What an insane era. What a gorgeous video about it. Thank you so much
Those last couple of shots mixed with the narration and the background music brought tears to my eye. Absolutely brilliant, thank you for this masterpiece
The ending.. OH MY GOD... Absolutelly perfect
In grade 7, my older brother told me to make my first hotmail account. I sat there infront of the keyboard for about 15-20mins trying to find my username. All that time, I was trying to decide between McLaren_F1 (tho, it would have been McLaren_F11 if I had picked it because some chump already had "F1"), and CLK_GTR. To this day, I still use my clk_gtr hotmail account. Thanks for the memories!
I’m here before milions of views. Insane.
Thank You so much for this, we all have been waiting for over 20 years!!!
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned
from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the
Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas
station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel
pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in
the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems,
turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and
New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be
done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of
crime here, called emissions and smoke crime...:-((((
NIssan R390 GT1 would be nice to compare as well!
They only made one road car, and that is still owned by Nissan. But I really liked the design, still do. Magnificent machine.
Good shout. Did that thing not use the Ricardo V8 that was then adapted to go into all of the Modern day Mclarens?
Maserati MC12 is probably the most modern day version of this too.
@@AzathothsAlarmClock A homologation Enzo
Is that an aftermarket head unit? In a CLK GTR with plastic to preserve the originality of the door sills, somebody installed a Kenwood with color changing LEDs. I swear, aftermarket head units are the absolute plague of youngtimer cars.
Stunningly shot and written. Well done, Henry. Let's turn this into a proper documentary series for Netflix or HBO and take it several levels deeper. I suspect im not the only one who would watch multiple hr+ long eps.
2x as many people decided to watch Doug Demuro talk about an electric ford f150 than watch Henry DRIVE the 3 most insane road cars ever made...criminal
Oh My... the GT1 FIA Class of late 90s gave us some of the most beautiful prototypes ever seen: *Mercedes CLK GTR & LM and CLR, Toyota GT-One, Porsche 993 & 996 GT1, McLaren F1 GTR Short and Long Tail, than the Nissan R390 and the short appearance of Lotus Elise too...*
What an awesome Era for Endurance! ♡
I don't know how true it is but i read somewhere that exactly because they were so many good cars and people loved them fia killed the class since Formula 1 is their cash cow but most people wanted to watch this in the 90s.
@@victormanin2074 well, that's Bernie Ecclestone repeating the kill of the World Sportcars Championship in the early 70s (that was WAAAY more popular since the 1950s compared to the Grand Prix for open-wheels cars and the following F1) with a well-planned business move that brought sponsors (money) and speculating onto the energetic crysis which demonized the endurance racing for it's enormous need for gasoline, with the result of destroying what was the Golden Era of Racing, when there was no sponsor, pure racing at it's finest, made of drivers which raced for hours and hours pushing both them and their machines at the phisical limits. And I hope all of you will remember the decline that started for the same reasons I just said, of what was the Greatest Race in the World, the 24 Hours of Le Mans - which, luckely, nowadays is gaining more and more fans, less or more interested in Endurance, and my personal hope, as a fanatic of the 24 Hours de La Sarthe, that this new Hypercars formula will in some way bring us back to the same level of interest that took place first in the late 90s with that GT1 formula.
This is my opinion, I don't want to say that F1 is rubbish, but I can assure you all that it's loosing spectators and public, when at the other side, the WEC enthusiasts are growing in number as the time passes by. Let's hope for a bright future for Endurance and Le Mans.
Have y'all a nice day dear Petrolheads! ;)
Humanity peaked with these cars...... I dont believe that this appeal and legendary status could ever be replicated. Hopefully somewhere in the near future, smart engineers will start 3D print these so that rest of us mortals can experience what hypercars used to be like.
CLK All Day Any Day,
CLK GTR gang gang where you at.
This car is by far the ultimate old gen king, the flying CLR made this even more iconic. I cant stress enough how good this car is.
The CLK GTR aged so well, even by todays standards it doesn't look like a 26yo car, well to me that is.
McLaren F1 for me...not sure I could even afford the maintenance though...if id have won the lottery I definitely would have been getting the Gordon Murray T50😍
Great analysis, could have done with a better track than Millbrook’s Alpine route though, not enough speed
I'll be watching this series again nd again for few years to come and end up with goosebumps everytime... That narration & cinematography is litt... And that dramatic end!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
damn tht thing is so low to the ground. wouldn't be able to drive it on the majority of the roads in my country without destroying it, too many potholes, speedbumps, etc
This car makes me realise (even more so) how good Gordon Murray is.
This has to be the most magnificent piece of automotive coverage I've ever watched. The true stalwarts of the their times, and the progenitors to the whole hypercar segment.
For me it'll always be the CLK-GTR. Beautiful piece of machinery which sounds just oh so divine!
First and only premiere I’ve ever watched! Doubt I could fit in this, at 6’4 and 17 stone and entirely inflexible I might get in, but you’d have to chop it up to get me back out again 🤣
Given the value of the car, they may rather opt to chop you up to get you out 😂 But it'd probably be worth it.
I like mercedes clk gtr because it is my favourite car in the whole world ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ive been waiting since I was a child to see a well done viceo on the clk gtr…I feel like there’s no videos or information out about this car
Ditto! Very little about it on video. I guess that shows how rare and expensive it is. Hats off to the owners for allowing us this glimpse.
Shmee has one from a couple years ago driving it around an F1 track I believe in the Middle East just can’t think of what track it was
You all can have the Mclaren. The CLK GTR is the one for me. Such a special special car with immense presence.
This trilogy was insane to wildness and watch even without being there. Loved these little videos of some of the legends!
Without no doubt CLK GTR is my ultimate dream car
I hope one day we all reach our dreams
This series was utterly sublime - thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. Truly magical.
My fav car playing original Gran Tourismo back in the day!! 🏁👍
It was an ULTIMATE pleasure to watch this... Thank you!
Amazing. I was a teenager becoming an adult when those cars came out, when they won Le Mans, etc.... I could only dream on driving them. Still do today (dream on driving one of t'hem maybe)
I'll always be mesmerized by how Henry delivers his reviews, simply amazing and he includes enough details to give a sense of us actually being there. Outstanding as always!
Great series, thank you. If I could have 1, it would be the F1, hands down. Not because its so valuable, or the history (which is amazing), but mostly because its a center drive 3-seater. That and the engineering make it a one-of-a-kind experience. Subscribed.
i would really like to see the 911 or the clk on some sort of trackday to see how it compares to modern cars
sure better than"modern" road cars remember these arent old either, they have full race pedigree, this mean very much on the track, today what current supercar have it? technology in races is always decades ahead,they maybe miss some electronic gizmos but they are real racecars,..
Ah yes, the Need For Speed 4: High Stake days. Still playing that game today.
What a brilliant conclusion to this epic trilogy!
Manny Khoshbin would take these three cars for lunch if he had it......!
Stunning trio of historically important hyper cars, and the presentation and narration of Henry is superb - as always! Well done, Carfection
You Should've added the Ferarri F50 to this mix.
Wow, Henry congratulations on the best mini-series I’ve seen on UA-cam! 🙌🏼 Incredible cars, narrative, videography, everything - well done and thanks for bringing it to us.
Henry voice is so calm & relaxing
Those last 3-4 minutes got me in tears & goosebumps.
This is the first in-depth CLK GTR review in UA-cam history and I love it!
Yeah I’ve been waiting for this.
Described as "Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR" it was added in the Wanderlust and Fifth Anniversary Season Update as a high-ranked Class C Car:
Stock Rank:2080
Max ⭐ Rank:2268
Max ⭐⭐ Rank:2536

No problem! Here's the information about the Mercedes CLR GTR:
The Mercedes CLR GTR is a remarkable racing car celebrated for its outstanding performance and sleek design. Powered by a potent 6.0-liter V12 engine, it delivers over 600 horsepower.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes approximately 3.7 seconds, with a remarkable top speed surprising 320 km/h.🥇
Incorporating adventure aerodynamic features and cutting-edge stability technologies, the CLR GTR ensures exceptional stability and control, particularly during high-speed maneuvers. 💨
Originally priced at around $1.5 million, the Mercedes CLR GTR is considered one of the most exclusive and prestigious racing cars ever produced. 💰
Its limited production run of just five units adds to its rarity, making it highly sought after by racing enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. 🌎
Put these in the garage with a Saleen S7 and you have the perfect garage....
I had one of these and wrecked it going 320kmh lol
CLK is one of the most beautiful cars ever built
So next up are the Maserati MC12 Corsa and a Dauer 962 S.
МЕРСИК КЛАССНЫЙ Я ХОЧУ СЕБЕ ТАКОЙ ПОДАРИТЕ МНЕ ТАКОЙ МЕРСИК
Silver Arrow. Can not wait for the AMG Project One.
@carfaction can you please share that moment at 14:40 as a high res wallpaper?
Why do car engineers never get it perfect? Its either the car is sporty and beautiful but tiny and claustrophobic from the inside, or its beautiful and wide inside but very minimal and not impressive but a beast from the outside? Why they cant make the perfect sport car? Beautiful from the outside, wide comfortable, with millions of buttons inside, very fast, can fit 5 people, normal luggage space, air conditioning, loud and crisp stereo system, easy on the fuel...why not? Its like always something is missing with those super cars 🤷♂️
👆👆Thanks for watching and congratulation 🎊you have been selected among my shortlisted winners.
Telegram only to claim your prize 🎁🥰🎁.............
Since 1955 the Mercdes have bad luck in Sarthre...and one was a CLR..back in 98 i think, where it make a loop in the air for lack of air downforce at the front. but much respect for the Sauber C9 GrC.......
Absolute dream car. No car in the world is this appealing
I agree, masterpiece of engineering.
What a great series! Bravo to Henry and the Carfection crew
Ayo is that Mercedes Benz Airlines
This is carporn !!
Excellent quality 3 part series, hats off to all involved in making it happen.
watching Henry drive the CLK GTR was like watching a jockey ride an untamed magnificent powerful horse for the first time....
Huge thanks to DK Engineering & the amazing owners for making this happen. Once in a lifetime having all 3 together.
