The SL is a beautiful car, but the W124 is my personal favorite in this lineup :p
Lmao all the nonces in the reply section🤣 but yes i would love to drive all those mercs
I was waiting for this vid for merc fans
@@tatianatitei5520 me too
It was the quickest car in the world for a while I think. It is probably faster if you launched it properly.
This man is living the dream.
The dreams of all Mans.

Was living the dream
Yes, but every job has its common shitty occations. We just don't know.

Mat would be feeling really special as he's the only Car Journalist to do this.
He deserves it even tho he is not the best journalist
Shmee150 done the same thing with the same cars. Mat is much better to watch though!
I’d love to see you do this but with Lamborghinis
@@Samal_ibra Yes I agree that he is not the best.
He is actually the BEST of the best.
There is a reason why he gets millions of views by himself while other journalists need a whole tv station to do that.

Very true
@@emiliojavier8268 shut up bruv mercs for life
Emilio Javier are you a car guy or nah
For merc to let matt do this must show how much influence and how big he is in the car game these days. Can't believe he has become such a icon.
Mercedes loved crazy guys. Thats why they say yes to you.
No they don’t. Bottas has the personality of a tea pot
@@lupreztryson Don't forget the let a blind man drive a GTS

But matt should have used a SWB( or the smaller Mercedes Benz 600s)W100.
I mean the Pullman is heavier and slower.
CLK DTM: Revs

Finally Yt captions have understood how petrol cars sound like to us.
Imagine being Mercedes and lending part of your museum collection. All of them in pristine condition and worth millions.
And the journalist just gets in and goes "please don't crash it, please don't crash it" hahaha. Gotta love Mat
Just one word for this line-up... WOW! Now we just need to know - what would be your dream Mercedes drag race line-up? Let us know in the comments!

My favorite as well. I drive ML55 with the same engine, but without the compressor. The sound is awesome.
The 300SL Is one of the sexiest cars ever made, period.
This and Aston Martin DB5
Along with alfa 8c and alfa 159. I dont even care
Let's add the Ferrari 250 GT on the list too cos these 3 cars imo are the prettiest cars of all time from the 50~60s

Thank you to Mercedes for allowing the performance tests on these beautiful old cars. It was super informative to see what these cars are capable of and see the change in performance over the years.
“That felt a lot slower than it actually was”
Ah, yes, like high school
Exactly!
Those five years feel like decades
the SL the fricking SL is so fast for it's time
They should have brought out the sl 65 amg black series from around 2012
Fastest car in the world at the time
@@GBLyrics no way really?
Arshdeep Singh trying to be smart when your name is Arse Deep
The w124 Hammer is so amazing,the coupe is even better.
I would love to see the 7.3 Brabus from 0-60.
BENZLOVE
There was something seriously wrong with that Hammer. They’ve been known to easily crack 0-100 km in 5.0 seconds dead and go on to reach a top speed of around 190 mph.
You have to go through the gears, not leave it in D, that way you can redline 1st and 2nd then you have to shift into D
The issue is probably that Matt was a bit afraid of the lack of TC. The Hammer (and most of the 80-90-s mercs with auto box) has a button under the gas pedal, and you have to absolutely floor it to make it start from 1st, otherwise it'll take off from 2nd gear.
@@slevente00 yeah definitely true, that's what I thought
I have a W124 E280 and it's the same
There's a button under the gas pedal and if no one is gonna tell you you won't know🤣
@@ghostweezy or you learn it the hard way, you floor it to do an overtake, and after 3 seconds the shit suddenly gets real:D
Unless if you have an N/A diesel, then nothing will happen (:)
@@slevente00 jep, it`s the Kickdown Button.You can floor the pedal at every gear and when you smash it to the button, the gear box will shift down one gear.
We can all agree that he loves his job.
_yessir_
I would pay for it hahaha
Shit I would too
I wouldn’t even require salary for this. I would just do it for free
You can tell he is never late
11:09 I never expected him to be like that.
This man's living his best life.

The 300SL has such a beautiful, timeless design!
Mercedes Benz the best or nothing, it's as simple as this. We can all agree that he loves his job.
And your profile pic is the cockpit view from a Tesla 😂
Hi i have a new mercedes. Honestly the car has an amazing set of features, but its not very reliable so far.
Every week another sensor dies
Crazy Chaos sadly i agree, my friend have the sams issue from his brand new 60k euros e class
Matt yes its really disappointing, my older volkswagen touran family cardoes not have a single issue in the last decade of years. But the brand new mercedes has sensor trouble all the way. The mercedes garage seems to be very busy and tries to send me away all the time
Who wouldn't love this job anyway?🔥😍

😂👍🏻🤣😅
It's the most successful Mercedes model ever. Nearly 2.7 million sold, including the coupe and estate versions.
its the most reliable car ever is that enough to be rare or special .
@@sokolmiftari3887 not rare
The sound of that clk is simply amazing!
That Hammer started in second gear! It had the same gear from 0 to 60 mph, changed gear at 60. So my bet is it started in second gear 👍🏼
Yes, you have to put your foot down more to start in first gear, which is nice than matt did not torture the poor thing after all those years
There is something so timeless about the 300SL, I’d happily take that on a trip along the French Riviera
The most important thing in a car Is the emotions She gives you,not just how fast It goes...awesome video as Always

All the Karens of the world complaining about noise
I once had a 230E like that, but in manual (and bottle green) - '85 model I think. Can confirm that it is both slow and super comfy. I loved that car.
were is the CLK GTR ...🤔🤔😂😂
Came here to ask the same question.
In the woods :)
I'm looking forward to see that as well 🥺🥺🥺 we want CLK GTR
@@thecamperDK That was a CLR, not a CLK GTR.
A domani cuore mio stupendo ti amo dai morire ❤️
who wants to see a Mercedes SL73 AMG?
I do!!! But I was surprised seeing the CL65... I’d also love seeing the E63 W212 pre-facelift or the R63 AMG :)
I would have like to seen one my AMG'S out there. But he isn't much of a driver so it would have broke my heart to see the times.
06:12 Hahahahahaa you didn't pressed the Kickdown button, it's under the Gaspedal
I own one of these, you would be impressed how much speed it has!
oooh so thats what the button under the gas pedal does
crazy, that modern transmission technology has done to todays cars acceleration.
modern 300hp cars accelerate faster than cars 30years ago that had 500hp.
Weight also
Most cars today are heavier though. It’s not just transmission, the power band in these older cars was much narrower. That combined with Matt not allowed to launch using the clutch and you get these rather slow times.
Turbo
I don't think anyone's ever clicked so fast
Videos like this give good understanding to how crazily fast budget performance cars have gotten over the years
I am truly happy for Matt. He has come this far, he has shown dedication and you can't deny his genuineness! I wish him even more success!
Mat in this video be like an unattended child in Disney land..
Yuvraaj Yadav if v wer there , v would be toooo!!!
Well , anyone would be.
To see these cars alone is great , let alone launch it
As a kid in the 70's that C111 was a Top Trumps favourite; beautiful machine!
300sl was definitely the best out of all. Almost 70 years old and it is as fast as a warm hatch of today. Nice!
The fact that they made 200hp on a 3 liter 70 years ago is amazing.
@@willemkanon4020 yes. If I recall correctly this engine is fuel injected so it is quite an advanced engine especially for its time.
Vlad Mihai yea after seeing this I researched a little, it's the second car with a fuel injection system. It's actually a mechanical fuel injection system which is fucking bonkers. It was too complicated for normal production cars. Leave it up to the Germans to make something so intricate.
@@willemkanon4020 well, I wouldn't expected less from them. what is the first car with fuel injection?
0:34 Matt trying to flex. Look at that bicep twitch 🤣🤣
'The Hammer' was tested by Car & Driver magazine in 1986 and it did 0-60 in 5s flat. Mercedes doesn't trust Matt that much it seems!
Carl Benz: "Let's drive closer, I want to hit them with my steering spike!"
Apparently, Mercedes will "win" all group tests this year on this channel.

Lookman Abdula 😂😂😂😂 swoooosh
I've got a 2009 CLS63 AMG with the AMG 6.2 v8 engine and the 7 speed semi auto gearbox and the fastest 0-60mph time I've had was 4.3 seconds but that's on a dry day, in the wet it's something like 8 sec lol as the yellow warning triagle light flickers on an off on the dash while the traction control is taking care of all the wheelspin !!!! - My mom has a 2003 E500 4 matic E class and its bloody damn good in the wet ! ....So good, that I wish my AMG was a 4 matic with all wheel drive as that E500 is a brilliant car and so underrated !
Mat, you one-up yourself every time don't stop!
Mercedes makes beasts. I can't believe that first classic os so fast and has a brilliant sound. Just imagine 1955s❤
I was so keen to know and so excited while watching it wow the best car
A german Car Magazin actually recorded a 7,2 second 0-60 time for the 300 Sl.
Mat was very careful with it.
If the CLK GTR and the SLR McLaren were there, it would feel complete!
2:20 launching a car that only has 12 others. *Noice"
This was a fun episode. I've owned a 2003 CLK55 AMG and that thing could haul ass but more importantly it felt so heavy and stable at high speeds I loved it.
0:15 PS2 World Racing Flashbacks
The CL65 is such a beautiful car with lovely interior
All old Mercedes automatics started out in 2nd gear, you would only get 1st unless you mashed it at low speeds or you selected it manually. I noticed some people mentioned this happened with the AMG W124 and that's why it was so slow, but the same thing happened in the 230E (which is a 4-speed auto, not 3-speed)
I feel good everytime Mat tells one of his underdog journalist stories
Would love to see this done with a line up of rare BMW’s
This needs to happen
I want to see this happening
That'll be a line up of 2 cars.

The pullman is such a beautiful car. That gullwing though is a true classic.
Yeah ..do u know y they stopped the production of pullman
4:31 Bringing back Top Gear Botswana Special memories!
You should have used "2" and not "D" on the old autos. In my experience they react much better under hard acceleration.
The Hammer is starting in 2nd, like most MBs in the 80’s!
Yes, but if u press kickdown it starts from 1st gear, same goes for 560sec...
Ivan MNE exactly! Damn MB noobs!
Yes the hammer was way slower than it usual are. But there are 1 reason that could eksplain it. Because you could get the gugh gear ratio option for 300 km/h. And then 1st gear are all the way up to 100 as we hear in the video. Just like the SL60 AMG were acturely slower to 100 than the normal 500SL were due to the high gear ratio option. So this could be the reason
@@mickolsen5619 But it changed at 100km/h and was nowhere near the rev limiter like it would be then but more like 4500-5000 so most likely full throttle without depressing the kickdown button i.e 2nd gear set off.
