Definitely has a wide stance... Check out Judd Luster Storm which had a 1' wider front stance than the rear... It should have done better than it did in road races
Wow, this footage is incredible! You really get a guttural sense of the speed. And the sound of that v8. Man I wish F1 still sounded that good. I love F1 with a passion but this is eargasmic
Mike A. Check out Georg Plato,he was the best,broke countless records as a privateer doing what he loved and his BMW M class with only 570 horsepower kicks the the crap out of this 11,000 horsepower car Sadly he passed away from a crash in Italy 2011 with a mechanical failure,his death was a sad one and with 4 people at the scene no one helped him
This engine has its origin directly from Paradise... thanks Judd !!!!! Hope to see Reto's skills soon again with his extraordinary race car. Absolut bombastisch! Pfiat eich.
I was going to say that I hadn't seen a vehicle corner this hard before, but I realised that I haven't seen a vehicle do anything this hard before! Amazing.
Nowadays with many cars powered by 2.0 turbo 4cyl, racing should be switching to that configuration. I remember the days of F1 1.5 liter turbo 4 cylinders cranking out 1000+ hp. That was a show!
You probably saw Georg Plasa's BMW 134 Judd. Unfortunately he was killed in an accident driving that car 10 years ago. This SLK is essentially the same car in a different shell. Reto was a close friend of Plasa's and I think he recruited many of the same engineers who had worked with Plasa before.
won’t probably do a great lap, because all the aero wouldn’t allow for top speeds in the back straight, but if you stop the chrono right before the straight boi it’d be a rocket
@@datutturugang666 It's not just the back straight, Nordschleife is a pretty fast track altogether. Think of Flugplatz/Schwedenkreuz, Fuchsröhre, Bergwerk.
One of those dreams every gearhad has: nothing but a mighty high-RPM NA-engine like the Judd V8 and V10s paired with a sequential gearbox, a very lightweight body with rollcage and RWD. Monsters like this (also reminds me of the M3 GTR, the DBR9 and the Viper GTS-R) will never get old :-D
Georg Plaza with his 134 judd was here in Falperra in 2011 .... the noise of the 134 judd was much more beautiful than this. unfortunately george passed away, and no more was heard of his car. I would like to see the 134 judd again. R.I.P Georg Plaza
Nah! The trouble to upload, then write a clean description of whats in the film in case some are not clear. You know for those of us who choose to watch films instead of comment surfing. But that's just me! But what do you thank him for, not that I really care? B.P.
Blk Pig You think that you know what you are talking about but that is wrong. I have read comments to see what people say about my country. You say thank you for the video and not for the description. I know the video team and i know what the work they do. And therefore my comment.
Great video. Looks like the car was set up a little too low for this event due to road conditions. Maybe 2 inches higher on the suspension would of helped keep it from bottoming out the entire time over every single bump or dip in the road. Cool sparks and all but I doubt the driver or pit crew afterwards enjoyed that.
Geht richtig ab! Und das im, ich sag mal, Amateur Rennsport! Obwohl das in keinster Weise der gebotenen Leistung gleich kommt. Gut. Richtig gut! Sehr gut!
Better than nowadays god damn f1 sounds 😎😎
For god damn sure!!
From what I've seen you can get a Judd in a V10 too.
Stark Raven that's even better !!
There's a Benetton B197 ('97 F1 car) racing out and about with the Judd in it. Makes a hell of a sound.
+jackson yee And more spectacular to watch.
That thing is glued to the ground
Randy - Or Welded ... Judging by the multitude of flying sparks from the titanium undercarriage plates.
Definitely has a wide stance... Check out Judd Luster Storm which had a 1' wider front stance than the rear... It should have done better than it did in road races
Have you seen that aero on that? It has more downforce than my car has horsepower
"Grüne schmunzeln"
Diffuser is massive mate.
Makes sense tbh
Look at all that downforce and ZERO roll through the bends!
marvelous
typingreallyfast ____ Really *_is_* on rails!
but that shit gotta kick on the inside over bumps!
kind hard to roll when your underside is constantly grinding against the road
Well actually at 2:04 the front left lifts off the ground
2:26 best corner ever.
I have a feeling it could be very very tricky without aero.
It's a sudden drop, I reckon that would unsettle a "normal" car a great deal.
he took it like boss
Blanchimont to the right ...... awesome corner
yeah hes flyiiiing
The things I would do to be a spectator on that corner at that very time!
I love the fact that it still has its distinct V8 sound while also sounding like an F1 car at the same time
Amazing machine, love the sound of the Judd engine
@rockn roll are the engines restricted?
@rockn roll ah alright
This car and the driver where made for each other. Those Judd V8 are a masterpiece.
Badass machine, great driver and smooth lines through those corners! And that beautiful beautiful sound
Wow, this footage is incredible! You really get a guttural sense of the speed. And the sound of that v8. Man I wish F1 still sounded that good. I love F1 with a passion but this is eargasmic
only v8 id swap into my rx7
Groovy Panda that would be one awesome swap

My comment was about Georg Plasa which didn’t spell correctly and I,m not sure what your comment means,please explain?
Legendary. This channel is the most underrated, period.
One of my top 5 when it comes to motorsport content.
George Plasa's spirit lives on!!
Nice put!!!
Well said
You got the high-reving V8 soundtrack, and also some "light" show. This merc is a Beast!
This engine has its origin directly from Paradise... thanks Judd !!!!!
Hope to see Reto's skills soon again with his extraordinary race car. Absolut bombastisch!
Pfiat eich.
This shows up in my feed about once a month and I watch it every single time. Thanks youtube algorithm
When that car gets moving the aero really comes into play
...and lifting off throttle pedal suddenly during slight curves would not be a minor deal
I was going to say that I hadn't seen a vehicle corner this hard before, but I realised that I haven't seen a vehicle do anything this hard before! Amazing.
I feel I wake up every day and say this, but MAN does Judd know how to build beastly engines!
Youd think hitting bottom so hard would cause a skid but nope it just turns . Awesome car !
Boah... 😮 That was really fast. What a car, what a sound, what a driver. 👍👍👍
Falperra (Portugal) amazing car and country :D
Thank for you, HillClimb. I watch this channel some time and this video have all what i need. Monster engineering, nifty pilot and beautiful road.
thanks for recommending youtube. ive always been looking for great channels just like this
I have an SLK55 AMG......awesome fun convertible...handbuilt engines from Merc factory.this video is the ultimate development racing technology.
Car is set up very well. Looks easy to drive at high speeds. Driver looks relaxed while driving it.
Reto's skill is crazy, so smooth even on the limit.
This car is so beautiful, sounds so good. This car is a dream.
wow what spectacular driving and a outstanding machine
Nowadays with many cars powered by 2.0 turbo 4cyl, racing should be switching to that configuration. I remember the days of F1 1.5 liter turbo 4 cylinders cranking out 1000+ hp. That was a show!
That's true...but I'd rather hear these NA sounds than a 4 Turbobanger. No offense tho.
NA "more than 4 cylinders" configuration, that is.
@@elcobra98 The 4 cylinder dtm cars from the 80s and 90s sounded pretty good, especially the M3 and 190E.
@@Tony.795 really wish the F1 current V6s sounded that well.
I saw a video of a Judd V8 BMW on Assetto Corsa and I am absolutely astonished at how identical the sound is from the game to real life!

Allo Reto Meisel what a piece of Machine you have all the best for all the luck in the world from Carlos Portugal
It handles very well, whoever made this car knows what he is doing
0:25 - So much power, he has to baby the throttle!
This is how we all wish our cars sounded like and how fast we would drive without any doubt!
Insanely fast thing! the Best engine in the Best Hillclimb car!!!
Mancing
WOW! that was beautiful to see and hear. The car was so planted on the road it resembled a slot car. WOW! (again) Thumbs up
I would like to see this monster on the Nordschleife.
won’t probably do a great lap, because all the aero wouldn’t allow for top speeds in the back straight, but if you stop the chrono right before the straight boi it’d be a rocket

It's too bad about the starter failure, especially when this man and this machine are dialed in so perfectly.

The goat besides George Plasa
Scadieee RIP
I could listen to that sound all day
ugh flyby at @2:13 gave me goosebumps.
Pure music to my ears from Carlos Portugal
Ummm watch this guys right foot... buttery smooth throttle control! wow :)
Wow..what a machine and driver...🏁🏁🏁
Judd! The greatest sounding engines of all time!
The sound of that Merc made my groin wake up, so awesome it hurts...
Now that's how a V8 should sound like :)
Man that is sick.. A peace of art really..
Flawless!!! Just Flawless!! Well done!
I like playing this through my stereo... My vehicle, which is substantially less than this, sounds absolutely insane with this technique!
That SLK, is SICK... Kudos to Driver, He was ment to drive that car.......
This car is an absolute monster on the road! Sounds and handles like an F1 racecar!
"WHAT A MACHINNNNNE" #JEREMY CLARKSON
God dam this is insane, hill climb is freaking epic
Great left foot braking, oh and the Judd awesome
Onboard POV is awesome! 👍
That is so fast ,fantastic car !!
Its simply Beautiful 😍
I love JDMs, but this Mercedes was awsome... Nice video, man, like.
What an absolute monster
Top 20 engine sound for sure!
SLK340: Looks like a SL65 black series, sounds and sparks like a fucking F1 car
Not sure why but I love seeing sparks coming off the diffuser
Vraiment monstrueux. Elle est collée au sol
It’s something about the sound at 2: 48 The sound of pure Raw horsepower that is just sick nothing else like it, and looking for more space💪🏽❤️
Georg Plaza with his 134 judd was here in Falperra in 2011 .... the noise of the 134 judd was much more beautiful than this. unfortunately george passed away, and no more was heard of his car. I would like to see the 134 judd again. R.I.P Georg Plaza
His car was a wreck after the crash in which he died in....there was only one! R.I.P
Proper Race Sound!
Carro muito bem afinado para esta pista com muita suavidade no volante.? Parabéns ao piloto e equipa...
I know this is practically a commercial but I still like it
Pure racing
Team Meisel Motorsport got this Merc STUCK! And that JUDD, man nothing sounds better.
Best sounding v8 ever.
HillClimb Monsters, YOU are f#ing *AMAZING!!!*
SO GLORIOUS!!!
Love watching the footwork
Can this get 11k upvotes please!
Beautiful machine. Thanks H.C.M.! B.P.
Blk Pig Thanks for what? Copy/Paste??????

You and your comments are a week late, and still make no sense. Learn to read proper and maybe then get back to me, until then...... B.P
Beautiful beautiful noise
Insane footage!!
Fantastic !!!!!!!
Nothing like the sound of a judd engine
Damn that thing was glued to the pavement
Where may I procure one of these magical Judd V8 engines?
What an insane Spectacle!!
Hermosos autos una sinfonía para los oídos
I wish I could like it TWICE 🤟
Bravissimo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably the most exciting touring car of the very few touring cars present at Falperra. Most of the field is an uninteresting slow snore fest!
lol this is not a touring car, it's a purpose-built, one-off hillclimb prototype.
Left foot breaking, nice work!
Great video. Looks like the car was set up a little too low for this event due to road conditions. Maybe 2 inches higher on the suspension would of helped keep it from bottoming out the entire time over every single bump or dip in the road.

Absolutely fabulous
very good well trained driver
Good pilot wow,golden hands dude fiuuuuuuuuuu
Porque suena al mejor sonido V8 de la historia? Que lo hace sonar asi de melodico, agresivo, armónico y ruidoso?
Geht richtig ab! Und das im, ich sag mal, Amateur Rennsport! Obwohl das in keinster Weise der gebotenen Leistung gleich kommt. Gut. Richtig gut! Sehr gut!
What a Beast :O !
Judd makes orgasmic sounding engines! 😏👌
2:31 until 2:37 So badass, what a monster, way better than LS Engine Swaps.
LS swaps don't need nearly the same amount of maintenance as this.
Gorgeous
This is a fantastic video, the sound is incredible, it's just missing a visual speedo to let you know just how fast it going!!
I just saw this thing rip past me through a speedtrap at 201 km/h it was amazing.
I think Georg would approve😁
Great onboard, car and video 👍🚗👍
