heaven in short term, absolute hell in the long term but then again this is a car driven on occasions. id drive it at least once a week if i had one though.
I've thought that this supercar is one of the coolest vehicles since I saw it in Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit. I remember this being my favorite car in that game. Simply timeless design.
i believe that same engine is in the pagani, in my eyes the best v12 ever to be produced on this planet, that sound is unique to the mercedes style v12
+Endo Ll AMG engines. but yea i think the early Pagani Zonda C12 and C12S had this engine or a very similar one to this. then when they brought out the Zonda F Roadster it was the first major redesign since the C12 and then it was fallowed by the several editions that finished with the 760 line up. Fun fact, the Huayra was originally going to have the AMG twin turbo V8 but the shareholders and customers were unhappy with that decision so they went with the twin turbo V12's but worked with AMG to ensure that they had the insane torque from the start not you know like half way in the rev range. so they put smaller turbos than what is in the S65 AMG sedan but it makes more power probably because 1 the S65 is sort of downtuned to ensure it is a reliable 600 odd hp while the Huayra is not really a daily driven car. but then again id have to be hands on with both engines to know for sure.
+mirrorsedgy Yes! its the M120 engine block!!! Same of my car (S600 C140) and of course the first Pagani ever... the Zonda C12 that have the engine without any tuning, just the same 394hp of the best looking and sounding V12 ever!!!
Believe me my father's Mercedes has 1 front wipe as the GTR and it cleans bigger area than the 2 front wipes. My Audi has 2 wipes but honestly I prefer Mercedes's 1 wipe. I don't know why they changed it.
vdochev It is one of the biggest brain farts ever come out of Mercedes Benz engineers. It was horribly unreliable. And it didn't clean the most important area... Windshield in front of the driver. Paired 2 wipers leave a little area unwiped in front of passenger, not driver .

To us, no P1 or Laferrari inspire the respect we have for these three cars. They are carved in our bones now
Ah the good ol GT road racers from the 90's, such a shame they changed the rules as it meant some utter nutty road cars. The CLK GTR is one of the best looking ever though, better then the P1 I think, up there with the Maserati MC12 which was another beast I think from this rule?
marksapollo I hear ya. God i love the 90s when it comes to cars. I know there are "better" cars nowadays or whatever, but the 90s, when it comes to cars, the 90s have such a special place in my heart, whether it be from nostalgia of the days when i first starting loving cars, or simply the fact that the 90s was one of the last decades where cars were still made for people who actually liked driving (no more manual transmissions today, for example).

MC12 pushed the GT rules so much LeMans ACO baned it, while FIA saw it as legal.
@@carlosandleon I don't know it looks epic, very low and has presence. I've seen the convertible in real life (1 of 5), it is stunning. It's like the McLaren senna or gumpert apollo though, it was more designed for function/performance rather than beauty.
they do in the GT series, Porshe, Ferrari, Audi, you could say GM with the Vette aswell but in the world of road cars the Vette is the bargain supercar. like the cheapest stripper, it isnt the best in the buisness but for your dollars youd probably still be happy
It's definitely the classiest looking car of its caliber. I have a special respect for high-end brands that integrate looks from their everyday lineup in a full-on race exotic.
Greatest supercar to ever be created, it may not be practical at all on the street, but it was always meant to be on the track; it literally started as a racecar turned streetcar. The engine sounds glorious, looks amazing, is reportedly good on the track even in roadcar trim as well. But then again, if you bought one jut to run errands with or to go on long drives then that makes you the fool.
They cheated then in fia-gt and killed off the true GT1 and now were watching as ford do it again at Le Mans with the GTE category and nobody seems an the wiser utter crap. Great video though
@thatabu it is the only rival of the mclaren f1, so it has to be quite as good as the mclaren f1. but you want to tell me that a gtr or zr1 would be better than this and concludingly better or at least as good as the f1? i mean just look at it. its look explains everything. it is a streetlegal lemans racer. gtr and zr1 outperforming the mighty clk gtr? perhaps in your dreams.
Lol, it is very close. This is pretty much a Le Mans car for the road. If it was a 7.3 V12 GTR then the McLaren would lose. The 0-60 times are close but this will win in the bends. Btw, the McLaren = McLaren + Mercedes.... Nice one.
Yes! the M120 engine block!!! Same of my car (S600 C140) and of course the first Pagani ever... the Zonda C12 that have the engine without any tuning, just the same 394hp of the best looking and sounding V12 ever!!!
Those cars aren't even 5 years old, this this is already 14 years old. and it's so expensive because they've only built 25 of them. Easy to say that a car from this age is better then a car from the 90s
nissian r390gt1, mercedes benz clk gtr, mclaren f1 gtr, porsche 911 gt1, toyota gt1 , panos esperante gt1 oh the good ol d days of gt1racing now we got diesel shit
I think it's ridiculous how they evaluate the practicality of these types of cars; nothing about it will ever be practical so there's no reason to critique it.
And considering it was likely given a thorough wash/detail immediately afterwards. Pretty hard to imagine they drove it through salt and snow then left it in a parking spot in the rain like it's a Civic.. People with money tend to care for their cars better than the average folks like us.
The most sorted GT1 road car you can get. Lovely. Much rather have that than the newer SLR Mclaren, despite the fact that its faster (for top speed anyway).
No, it's not the LM car. It only raced in the FIA GT Championship from 1997 to 1998. But the CLK-LM was the LM car which raced in 1998 Le Mans and also in the 1998 FIA GT Championship.
i saw this car on picture on facebook but there was not the full name of the car except for mercedes, than i remembered i was driving this car in NFS hot pursuit 2, googled "nfs hot pursuit 2 car list" and i fount it :D "Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR" :D just damn...
Juan A But they don't look that crazy, they are not as hard to drive, they are made so any man can drive them, now any "Jeremy Clarkson" can drive them
It's interesting how the market for these "hyper-cars" has changed over the decades. The glorious 90s trio was made in only a few dozen units and if you look now, the AMG ONE alone will be build 275 times.
My favorite car as a kid! I had this car as my wallpaper for the longest time lol. NFS High Stakes introduced me to it. I still love it and it will always be one of my favorite cars ever made and if I can buy it one day, I sure as heck will!
Mclaren F1 is the dream.
CLK-GTR is unobtainium.
so true lol
Unobtanium? You can get one for 1/8 the price of an F1.
BeanyB0b there are literally none for sale
BeanyB0b Ya. Good luck finding 1 of 25 for sale.
Find me an F1 for sale right now.
This was THE car I lusted over as a kid in the 90s, shame its not so well known.
Me too... wish they made more
I know...
yeah i love this car.
Fucc the ppl who do t know about it this is are 90s unicorn and the f1 mclaren
it makes it even better that the car is unknown.
Best Mercedes ever.
For me, also one of the best car of the history
yup, just like the xj220
Nu Sauber C9
Sauber C9 isn't a road car dipshit. Rather have a race tuned NA V12 than a TT V8.
+sexyitalian891 yessir

Straight cut gears are a thing of true beauty
heaven in short term, absolute hell in the long term but then again this is a car driven on occasions. id drive it at least once a week if i had one though.
@@patrickpelletier6315 I'd want to drive it every day lol screw once a week... it'd turn into an addiction really fast!
By far the most exclusive Mercedes Benz on the road
I have six bucks in my wallet is that enough?
Manuel del Busto offer a reach around to go with the money. they always go for the reach around.
It's enough for about 10 minutes worth of gas for it lol
ohedd damn I was finna say that 💀
I'll send you a courtesy car OK, you can use it for a while, we'll give you free insurance too
Nah we give courtesy cars for free, I'll lend him much better for a couple of years,
hmm who wouldnt wanna be driving in a million+ dollar v12 merc in the wet/snow
Yeah, IDGAF about the weather, I'd drive it daily.
Love how he casually drifts it anyway in icy conditions lol. "You need to stop going sideways tiff" Mark Higgins
I love how he's testing it on a snowy day with wet roads.
if i ever saw that on the streetz, i would faint
me too LOL

The transmission is what sets this like a future car. Like time traveling
Huge AMG fan but best v12 for me is the f1 derived V12 in the Ferrari F50. Best sounding road car ever. Dont get me started on the F50 Gt
My car is better in one aspect, it has 2 front wipers!
Believe me my father's Mercedes has 1 front wipe as the GTR and it cleans bigger area than the 2 front wipes. My Audi has 2 wipes but honestly I prefer Mercedes's 1 wipe. I don't know why they changed it.
SWENWAR bmw too i think
WhiteSlift The Mercedes mono blade is the best wiper ever made.

Lucas silva vieira this is way cooler for me than a LaFerrari. Would pick a clk gtr over that any day
Dude! The CLK-GTR is awesome! it took about 15 years for super cars to perform like that. The trio was way ahead of their time
Saleen S7?
Carlos Avendaño That's a pile of shit I'm comparison
Why? I'm curious why do you think that because I dont know much about cars but like both.
CLK GTR > F1
Mercedes is like that one rich kid in the room that is also smart and wins at everything. Just annoying but yet you want them!?
FastLikeUNO ACCURATE
so true 🙈
Wouldn't mind getting in and out of it everyday
Honestly the Mercedes CLK GTR is the most beautiful car ever made.
Ah the good ol GT road racers from the 90's, such a shame they changed the rules as it meant some utter nutty road cars. The CLK GTR is one of the best looking ever though, better then the P1 I think, up there with the Maserati MC12 which was another beast I think from this rule?

All of them

Who cares Greta?
none - these cars are museum items for collectors
Really want supercars to race at the Le Mans again!
they do in the GT series, Porshe, Ferrari, Audi, you could say GM with the Vette aswell but in the world of road cars the Vette is the bargain supercar. like the cheapest stripper, it isnt the best in the buisness but for your dollars youd probably still be happy
not really, Their all GTE cars not GT1 like the late 90s-earlier 2000s
there is no bmw fanboy ?i wonder why :D:D
Watching this after Henry Catchpole's Carfection review. Tiff is the best!
Still one of the most beautiful looking cars I'd have ever seen! AMG POWER!!
Tiff went for a food run in his CLK GTR hypercar XD
funny- filming from outside of the car it's winter, from inside - already summer :)
This could be the most beautiful car M-B has ever assembled.....
-could be +is
It's this and the mercedes concept seen on gran turismo. Both are epic
300SL
eloy tx The AMG Project One looks a bit better in my opinion.
Slr
It's definitely the classiest looking car of its caliber. I have a special respect for high-end brands that integrate looks from their everyday lineup in a full-on race exotic.
I don't think this man had any worldly idea what this car would become in just a few years. That £1 million might be worth 10 times that by now.
Apollo 440! Stealth mass! Awesome.
Music @5:01 anyone? Sounds an awful lot like Mozart but I have no idea which it is eventually.
It's Vivaldi. :)
Very much appreciated, but I already figured it out by myself in the meantime. It is indeed Vivaldi's Four Seasons - Winter.
Thumbs up if you want this car back in the Need for Speed games!
HELL YEAH
I would love to modify it
lol let me guess you are a bugatti veyron fan? -.-
this is one of the most beautifull cars ever built
In my opinion: Best car ever made...
Greatest supercar to ever be created, it may not be practical at all on the street, but it was always meant to be on the track; it literally started as a racecar turned streetcar.

Just got offered one for 10 million euros now.
An awesome car from Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit and Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2!!!
There isnt a bmw on the planet that would turn heads like this ultimate creation of man.
who else want this car on nfs series again??
Ahh… when VAT was 17.5%. They never did drop that ‘emergency’ 2.5% introduced in 2011… Osborne mun.
They cheated then in fia-gt and killed off the true GT1 and now were watching as ford do it again at Le Mans with the GTE category and nobody seems an the wiser utter crap. Great video though
Thats in Ludwigsburg ... the marketplace hahaha

The MP4 12C won't annihilate this car, it would be very close and also if it was the version with the 7.3 V12 then it would lose.
I have had a model of this car and the 911gt1 since I was 10 years old. Sad that I will most likely never see one in person.
I think it's ridiculous how they evaluate the practicality of these types of cars; nothing about it will ever be practical so there's no reason to critique it.
Looks totally up to date / very impressive. Just like the McLaren F1
I like how the steering looks like the one in my dad's old E-class lol
People, people!...in 1997 it was the CLK-GTR but, in 1998 it was the CLK-LM, different cars. Similar but, NOT the same
I don't like the baby-sized doors of the CLK GTR
Crystal Mover Yes! fully agree
Awesome Car
Only 2 were ever built with the 7.3, so it's unlikely that this has that engine in it.
CLK-GTR and the McLaren F1 are cars I wish I always had even to this day. Sighhhhhhh.
McLaren F1, Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR , Ferrari F-40
my fave cars. all outstanding
So you're telling me that my tesla is faster than this?
i want to see a race between bugatti and clk gtr super sport the 720 hp model
Lmao, I seriously drooled when watching this!
Driving after it snowed? They put salt on the roads!!! This car probably has crazy rust right now
probably not considering most of it is made out of composite materials
And considering it was likely given a thorough wash/detail immediately afterwards.
Pretty hard to imagine they drove it through salt and snow then left it in a parking spot in the rain like it's a Civic.. People with money tend to care for their cars better than the average folks like us.
+Dee Jay Your right.

propably not, since germans and not brits built that bomb.
Im sure you dnt knw wat Ricer means...and having a 10000hp supra isnt called Rice lol
i fell in love with this car after playing NFS
A $1,000,000 car filmed in 240p. Something is literally wrong with this picture.
The most sorted GT1 road car you can get. Lovely. Much rather have that than the newer SLR Mclaren, despite the fact that its faster (for top speed anyway).
Grand Turismo.... Playstation 1. THAT WAS MY DREAMCAR DUUDE
The McLaren F1 was a legendary car, and this one is one of his rivals. Top-level cars.
This is better than the 2010s all time famous Lamborghini Aventador
it would of been possible if the game didnt come out in 1998...
it's a Lemans car for the road... really not crap lol
Watching this in 2021 is glorious
This is the road version of the LM car right? I think that this and the Toyota GT-ONE road cars are amazing to look at.
No, it's not the LM car. It only raced in the FIA GT Championship from 1997 to 1998. But the CLK-LM was the LM car which raced in 1998 Le Mans and also in the 1998 FIA GT Championship.
Probably because both are crazy homologation specials. :P

I remember this car from the first Need For Speed Hot Pursuit game. Definitely a beast of a car
It was the most expensive car in the world at the time.
This is Top Gear. Tiff used to be a presenter.
I want this car in nfs and in real life...
When I said GTR's i mean the CLK GTR's....
I wish this car was in GT5.
One of the best but not quite the best.
one of my all-time favourite childhood dream cars!
f*ck the golf clubs...this is one awesome car
I saw Tiff at Norman Park
Smells like nostalgia...
Funny watching this now since most supercars can reach and shatter those numbers with ease

Saaaame here man
My favorite car, love it.
best looking supercar ever

I miss these kinds of special cars. Nothings so crazy or special has come out since this era of motorsports.
