this is one and only proper SUPER car of mercedes and with desing of w210 looks very attractive like an oldschool gangsta, what is best it was construct from both mclaren f1 and porsche car.
@@Jesko. No, there aren't. Those were actual hypercars made for racing. Modern rich boy hypercars you could say "partially race" in glorified track days with a limited number of cars like GT1 by Curbstone events. The only "iconic" race car today that can be compared with the cars in this video is the Valkyrie AMR PRO but only IF... they don't give up on their Valkyrie LMH project which they might.
Both were phenomenal, but for me what made me love GT1 more is that these hyper/super halo cars that you just saw going at each other, we're also available on the road and you could (theoretically speaking) watch them or even drive them, yes they're super expensive and exclusive but the fact these race cars were the same hyper cars on the road was mind blowing to me, unfortunately but 2011 running a hyper/super cars GT championship became too expensive and the class was killed
*CLK GTR, not CLR GTR. CLR GTR does'nt exist. It was just called CLR and was a totally differnt car, that was made to meet the LMGTP Reglement in the 1999 Season at Le Mans. The CLK GTR and its successor the CLK LM were made to meet the FIA GT (1) Reglement. fyi
@@gorkemsenol4128 you're wrong. The car in the video is the CLK LM. It was in the GT championship but the name of the car is CLK LM. The CLK GTR is the Road version of this car, and the CLR was the one that flipped at the 1999 le Mans
Correct. AMG, who were contracted by Mercedes to build the CLK GTR, did exactly that. They bought a couple of McLaren F1 cars, took them apart and basically reengineered them. Using them as Test mules for their own developement.
Just to clear couple of things, Mercedes used the F1 as a test mule so they can know the car aerodynamics, handling and all of its features to speed up the development of the car, this without a doubt helped the car aim for certain goals in its development and what should amg aim for to compete, however the design is completely originally derived from CLK by Bruno sacco to make it look like road car (extreme road car that is) and with the help of amg special team HWA to make the car in 128 days, the design from amg with the money to support the project by mercedes made the most dominant car in GT1, Mercedes clk gtr (Maserati MC12 is the most successful for sure but the car didn't dominate to the point where its rivals didn't want to compete with it, that's what mercedes did basically)
@@Daytonuh CLR is from 1999, the one in the video is the CLK GTR(It has the same name of the street version) from 1997 and the CLK LM is from 1998 Those are the real years of those Mercedes.
This is technically a battle between a V12 BMW and a V12 AMG, awesome
Y el mercedes se desarrolló usando un McLaren F1.🤷♂️
This is race of goats, kids will never understand how much legendary this cars is
I agree with you
Stop overrating them. Plenty of iconic race cars now. Keep being blinded by nostalgia.
@@Jesko.Good Times have passed.That was gold era of racing.

This kind of racing was better than f1

@@mohammadalfattal2902 I prefer race cars with beautiful body work.
Prettt much every division in motorsport is much better than F1. Even Formula E has better street circuit battles.
@@constipatedparker5879 definitely not.
IIRC, footage of this CLK GTR was used in the intro of NFS 3
These cars were THE SHIT in the classic NFS games. Absolute legends.
Omg it's a McLaren and a CLR gtr ❤
Legendary scence!!
Yes

Schneider was truly exceptional driver. I wish he got better chance at F1. Legend.
this really is as good as it gets.
0:28 GT1 rooster tails for breakfast!
McLaren F1 GTR: impossible!!! 😮😮😮
Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR AMG: I'm speed racer! 😎😎😎
They not bought F1 and tear up apart and built for CLK GTR based on F1 themselfs?
Merc copy Mclaren F1 design?@@AlexESR71

💀
@@juanb.m5753 damn, took it too seriously sorry 🤦♂️
@@mohammadalfattal2902 Maserati wasn't a true GT1 car despite the official name.
It was purely renamed GT2 after the GT1 class died.
Then they had a kid and made the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
I wanna travel back to 90s
Mercedes CLR vs Mclaren F1 GTR Longtail
CLK GTR*
@@DaveyPTY CLK GTR is street legal and CLR is used for Le Mans 24h and isn’t street legal
@@Daytonuh CLR is from 1999, the one in the video is the CLK GTR(It has the same name of the street version) from 1997 and the CLK LM is from 1998
Those are the real years of those Mercedes.
@@DaytonuhNo, CLK-GTR was designed for the track then it was homologated for the streets, CLR competed in '99 in the LMGTP category
yeah i am probably not going to get corrected 400 times
No wonder Mercedes had McLaren on point to beat besides other cars while building rhe car ☠️
does this exist without the voiceover
NFS High Stakes Hero Car duke it out in the rain
10000% this, these two had it the best in NFS High stakes
their rivalry may forever be legendary, just like in NFS High Stakes.
See! A modified CLK GTR vs F1. The CLK GTR can match and leave behind the F1.
it's not a moddified clk gtr. The clk gtr was first a race car and was later nerfed for the homologation 😂
@@AlexESR71
Modified for the race and detuned as a road car when Mercedes sold it to the public.
Mercedes Benz CLK LM
@@ОмарасхабСулейманов-о3я this is not the CLK LM, this is the CLK GTR
GT1 is the best racing era behind group C. F1 fell off. Not in viewership but in actual racing and innovation
Need for speed high stakes
Like in GT4...
😊😊😊
This CLK GTR is much better than Toyota supra
Am I tripping or is that the clk lm, not the gtr?
You're tripping, this is the CLK GTR which raced in 1997 and 1998 and this was spa 1997
CLK LM only raced in 1998
That was Silverstone
This one is the GTR
Basically mercedes is just like cmon cmon cmon
Still fastest TVR speed 12
Nope, wasn’t driving that Benz in those conditions.
It was Bernd Schneider, legend of the DTM
