witnessing this car in real life is like seeing a ghost from 1998.. might not be as popular as the "bugatti veyron" but it is truly a legendary car! only 25 were made... CLK GTR and Maclern F1 LM are the cars i really wish to see at least once in my life.
VR46champion The GT1 cars needed to have a handful of road going models in order to meet homologation standards. There's also a Porsche 911 GT1 which had some road going versions as well. Also a completely bonkers car for on the road.
been my childhood dream car ever since i first played Need for speed 3 when i was like 4. and 15 years later im no closer to owning one. i still want it. one day ill have 3 million dollars.
@@markm0000 The GT class cars still require homologated production cars. Only the Prototypes and now hypercars don't and that was also the case back then. The CLK LM/GTR, McLaren F1 and Porsche GT1 were all under the LMGT1 class and not LMP.
Sounds SO AWESOME Believe it or not, I’m actually 4th grade and I’m not those kids that like Lamborghini’s or other supercars, I’m more into the 90’s cars like the Nissan s14 or this CLK GTR, but my favorite HAS to be this
The street version of this car is very expensive and rare. If he should open the throttle in the middle of a big city as Paris that car, since it's very extreme, would accelerate like a shot from a gun and he would definitely crash. So, that would not be a very good idea. I'm sure he opens the throttle with the car on track day events and so on. Also, the CLK GTR is not so easy to drive in traffic. Just look at it. So, there's many reasons for why he's not putting the pedal to the metal in the middle of Paris.
+Aaron Frutoz straight cut gears. all cars have straight cut gears but usually just the reverse gear. high performance race cars have all straight cut gears, which gives the whining noise
Sadly, when it's in the streets "just like that", the odds of seeing the car again for more sound clips is very slim! I'm glad you enjoyed the video anyways! :) RR_Phantom
alexsmolik explain to me why he needed to bring a purpose built race car into Paris, when he can only drive up to like 40 mph max? cause I am having trouble seeing the point to it.
One of the best in the world and the legend of flying over de la Sarthe in Le Mans In 1999, he was passing the Toyota GT One with full power, when suddenly... Anyway, whatever we say about the beauty and power of clk gtr is still not enough💚💜💙💛🤍💪💪
@@manciokedz208 The track-only CLK-GTR was built in 1996 (in 128 days) and it was raced between '97 and '98. The road-legal version was built in 1999 after Mercedes won the 1998 FIA GT Championship. The track-only and road-legal version of the CLK-LM was built in 1998.
Now this is a risky car to take out, can you imagine someone hitting it. Fuck, even a bird shitting on it??? Absolutely amazing, you can hear the gear box whining. It must be so hard to drive in traffic but was an insanely fast car!!!
It does sound better at high(er) speeds but that gearbox always sounds the same because it's a straight-cut sequential gearbox which is used in race cars.
One of the coolest looking cars ever made
Almost 20 years later, and that thing still looks good!
120 years later it will still look good
good looking cars dont expire have evre seen a ferrari 250 LM?
Good is an understatement, I think it looks amazing and had no idea it existed so thought it was new/retro.
Even idling around in traffic you can hear that distinctive whine of the gears in the race transmission.
I will trade 100 Bugatti Veyron for one CLK GTR
Driver Lexus kind of dumb ngl
@@rileyclarke8784 Let me guess you neither own a Lexus nor a Mercedes.
@@flavedrops6073 I'm sure the OP owns 100 Bugattis tho
@@rileyclarke8784 not at all
but you dont have 100 bugatti
One of the finest cars EVER MADE.

35 were made
Melody O.o I didn't even know it existed as a Production Car. I can only see this in GranTurismo hehe.

If you want to see or sit in it, be around Stuttgart this weekend.
There will be even better cars than the CLK GTR.
Amazing. The CLK GTR is still one of my favourite super cars and, of course, my favourite Mercedes of all time.
I Always liked that even though it is basically a racing car for the road, it still looks elegant in it´s way.
Wow, what a treat to see on the road!
The best Mercedes-Benz ever - Legend.
To this day, I can't describe the beauty of this car, I just love it.
Its as crazy as someone walking a lion on the sidewalk.
Probably crazier if you live in Russia
Coolest Merc ever
Thanks for sharing! This is my absolutely favourite Mercedes of all time!
Glad you liked the video Daniel K ! It's probably the first and last time I see a CLK GTR driving in the streets of Paris lol. It was so unexpected !
alexsmolik If I had the money I'd buy one and wrap it in in a moderate Matte Green XD
+alexsmolik bumps? It looks like it scrapes Alot :(

Then you reach the 3 million that car will be cost 15 million🤣
The golden era of sports car racing...back when road going homologation version were a requirement!
It’s such a shame that isn’t a thing anymore. I want to see more race cars on the road.

The sound of those straight cut gears tho
Sounds SO AWESOME

The Bentley behind probably transporing the bags after shopping 😅
Perfect car to go shopping in the city centre
bodyguard bentley :P
Gotta protect that valuable machinery!
My thoughts exactly
the legend is back
Milestone in car history.
Best car in the world
One of my all time favorite cars
This car is a legend
just love it 23 years
Sadly he not opens the throttle, but i think the alarm systems of the cars around would be activated from the noise.

2k21 is the year of bringing this video back to live
If seen the race car it's so amazing love it hope I here that V12 again 1997 was a good year love this it's sick nice job man I just subscribed!
sounds like a Honda going in reverse....
+Aaron Frutoz straight cut gears. all cars have straight cut gears but usually just the reverse gear. high performance race cars have all straight cut gears, which gives the whining noise
+Aaron Frutoz that is a ignorant comment, my jeep, honda and vw have the same noise in reverse
+Aaron Frutoz This car sounds beast when it revs. Trust me. Eargasmic.
This is actually the sound of the gearbox cause it has a race gearbox and they sound like that idiot
A Dz: Spur Gears*
Such an insane car
Sounds like the diffuse on its way out!
Awesome! Is this the one that stood in the Mercedes Store last season?!
Nope! The one in the Mercedes Store is still there! And it's a CLK LM, not a CLK GTR! Not exactly the same thing lol ^^ Carspotter Jeroen
There are 20 CLK GTR and only one CLK LM!!!
Must be hard work to drive this car in Parisian traffic!
Yeah, that thing's got a horrible turning circle!
very nice car I remember this from nfs 3
+The True Ultimate of loving and caring and NFS High Stakes was teh first time i raced this car and teh Mclaren F1 GTR
yes this is and the f1 were beast but light XD the titan wa tough but slower

Crazy to drive this Amazing car on Savage street of paris
JUST LOOK AT THE CAMBER ITS RIDICULOUS!
I love this & it's roadster variant.
I'm not joking, there really is a roadster version.
Should have made a Super Sports roadster with the 7+ litre engine
i have whished for more sound :( but anyway amazing car and nice video!

it's the sound of 1st gear. mine goes like this too in 1st
This car looks like a deformed E-class, but somehow it manages to be epic and with its own swag.
That is pretty damn special
can you actually drive a Sauber C9 Prototype cars on a public road?
Nope
Ah cette CLK-GTR je la voie souvent dans un garagiste à Versailles mais bon j'en dis pas plus .....
Amazing.
How does it handle bumps? Quite poorly I presume
+Gitonga Mwaniki You presume rather well lol :)
So how do you remedy this problem? i think they should update this model
+Gitonga Mwaniki they should update the roads

The GTR and the LM are from the same year? Anyone answer? Thanks
GTR - 1997, LM - 1998

Красивая машинка
une vrai voiture d'arriviste , du bruit et des ailerons de partout, juste bonne pour ahnouna ou les fréros
The Bentley behind the clk gtr, with only the weapons ready
If I ever saw a CLK GTR drive by, I wouldn't know whether to shit or go blind.
Does the clk gtr have a supercharger
no. the noise is from the gearbox.
Abdullah zeb I have this similar noise in my clk 320. I was thinking something is wrong
Yeh some mercedes with turbos have this similar sound weird.
Everybody's like "wtf is that"
Knowing the truth and they'll be surprised af lol
Tell me about it. Like that meme "He says he drives an old Mercedes", and the girls giggle. And then the CLK GTR shows up lol
What's that whining noise?
You can hear the straight cut gears
First time without rust
If only i could get those headlights for my CLK 320
Now this is a risky car to take out, can you imagine someone hitting it. Fuck, even a bird shitting on it??? Absolutely amazing, you can hear the gear box whining. It must be so hard to drive in traffic but was an insanely fast car!!!
True unicorne... I got one but on 1:18
I have the 1/18 one as well XD
Some people are so so lucky
brend mercedesa 1000000 km i 1000000raz posle mojet slomatsa ! vot eto tacka !!!!!!
They need to make an SLS GTR. And not just adding a few extra aero features and calling it a day.
I WOULD NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS IN PARIS!!! LOL
Listen to that gearbox noise 😂
Normal noise , it's a competition gearbox 🤷
Эталон спорткаров.
Impresionante.
I would love to buy a car like that tbh
way to ruin the front with a license plate
i would be so nervous
Un des trucs les plus fous spotté à Paris ! J'adore...Un espoir de la revoir dans Paris après Le Mans Classic ?...
It sounds like its driving in reverse..
@Jaski Kiiski straight cut gears to be precise
I wouldnt drive that in paris though...
For what this car sounds like revving just search "clk gtr tokyo"
А чего так коробка воет???
Ptdrrr faut être sur de sois pour rouler avec ça dans Paris
Et comment , sans parler du rayon de braquage démesuré de plus de 15m
Looks like a standard merc from the 2000 modded by some farmers
Mercedes CLK GTR vs Nissan GTR (GTR vs GTR), I'd love to see that!
No contest. CLK GTR is in a different league.
Imagine your insurance company lol
You hit a WHAT
Did you all forget what happened at Le Man's with the CLR a very similar model 😂
So? They're very different
I believe I can fly
Warum hört er sich wie ein Elektro Auto an?
It looks stunning but I'm not a fan of that sound, maybe it sounds better at higher speeds.
It does sound better at high(er) speeds but that gearbox always sounds the same because it's a straight-cut sequential gearbox which is used in race cars.
This shows that the CLK GTR is not for the roads
Bentley looked like a prius. lol
0:55 Renault 4 pink
Bentley For Security 😢
it sounds like its in reverse
One of my top 5 that i'd have to own if money was no object.
