Of course not everything will be the same, it has to be road legal. Its as close to a road legal race as you can get pretty much (for a manufacturing car), same design/body, basic equipment, racing seats.
He turned the headlight switch to "headlight" then pulled the headlight switch out 2 clicks, which makes every mercedes light up all the lamps, common to see in the cities with newbie mercedes owners/drivers.
@@martinisraelsson564 LOL I got a 00' W202 C230 Kompressor and did not know that, first Benz I've owned and love it, just funny I didn't know I was doing that all this time till I saw your old comment...
OMG!!!! Probably the first hypercar I ever fell in love with!!! I remember Tiff Neddell powersliding one in the snow for "Old" "Old" Top Gear!!! Amazing Vid Sam!!!!
The magnificent CLK GTR.. spent many hours racing Le Mans in Gran Turismo to buy this beauty. One of my favorites right next to the Cadillac Cien. True racing fans know what I mean!
If I could buy a CLK GTR my life would be complete. Had a poster of this car above my bed since I was 7. I'm 23 now and still sticking to the dream. I'm 10% there. I'll settle for an 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II aswell.
Oh man. I love that gear whine that comes with racecars. My old M3 track car used to whine like that and it made me smile every damn time. The CLK GTR and DTM are still some of the coolest cars today.
The CLK GTR is almost pure unobtainium. I saw 1 in California year or so ago for sale for $3.8 million and it sold 2 days later for $3.3 million. I was told it was purchased by a very private collector, most likely never to be seen in public again.
Richard Gaule Laws so they could sell it, and if they didn't sell a certain number for the road it wasn't allowed to be entered into the GT series. Them was the laws back in the day, this and the MC12 are quite literally built purely for racing and that's it, but had to be sold for the road for that.
Had a toy car model like this from the video,and when i was 9-10 yo i played with that model all day,didnt know the exact model until now ! Nostalgia....
Sam you were in my town!! I can't believe this, I was watching the video ad I recognized the dealer, you've passed 10 m far from my house door! Welcome to saronno!
Still looks incredible... been drooling over this car since I was 13 years old, thumbing through Car & Driver and Automobile in Borders Books (and never buying anything). RIP Borders, RIP homologation rules.
Huge question.. does that car have the reverse lights stuck on like every other mercedez of that era when the tails lights stop light would be stuck on?
I'm only watching the ads willingly because I want to see that Ferrari 360 as soon as possible! Loving the daily videos Sam, I and I hope everybody else looks forward to them everyday :D
Thanks for showing this Rare CLK-GTR Sam. ..it's fantastic...it's great to see these cars on the road! They are always tucked away in someone's collection where we hardly see them! 👍😀👌
Denis Spratt 365 GTC! Most noticable difference with the 330 gtc is that the 330 has a side intake-ish thing above the pininfarina logo on the side. Completely agree though :)
that legendary battle between the McLaren f1 and this rare god of a car.........i cant help but feel goosebumps, really godly machines...is it okay to be selfish and have very few people know about such road gods?!!!😊
I read that you could use the gearbox without the clutch (besides coming from a stop of course) but it would expedite the wear of the clutch and had to be replaced much more frequently. Really just for track use
Sick video Sam, although I must admit I was a little disappointed that there was no even in car ride along or even close up footage of the car. I don't know hopefully EA grants a little more access next time around. So not necessarily a complaint about the video as much as maybe if that's all someone is going to allow you to do is maybe pass on the opportunity. Seems like a lot of work to in essence follow someone in your car. I love the work you do and the content from a editing perspective is brilliant. Your in my top 5 possibly top 3 youtubers so just trying to offer my opinion which is usually wrong take it easy looking forward to more Italian(Ferrari) content. Good luck on the hunt for the manual 360.
If you could own two cars, one being that CLK GTR and a 911 GT1, you would automatically win life. Might as well pick up an McLaren F1, and Mazda 787B while your at it.
That's because it is the road-going version of their GT1 race car. One of the rules of GT1 is that the companies had to make at least 25 road-going versions of their race cars in order to compete.

The CLK-GTR is a prime example of a race car for the road
The Boosted Turbo think they're gt1/group c homologation projects
Superspeedersrob somebody?
Jumel Man i get that reference 😂
Rob Feretti will be like,
No roll cage? No race car...
It has A/C? No race car...
The dash has no exposed wires showing? No race car...
Of course not everything will be the same, it has to be road legal. Its as close to a road legal race as you can get pretty much (for a manufacturing car), same design/body, basic equipment, racing seats.
It's not picking up... it's following a CLK GTR
So True.. What a dick head..
Click bait!! Not cool
He even put music over the driving scenes. It's like censoring nudity in pornography
The title implied you picked up the GTR, but you just followed the guy who picked it up.
Shreddah clickbait??
In a fiata
So much clickbait.....first time on this channel and already disliking it so much
@@sergiobras7300 lots of channels film other people picking up cool cars and title it the same way, it's super common
Just looking at the clk gtr on the video got my heart beating fast. Imagine sitting in the drivers seat...
Did you saw the backup lights were on all the time. Old Mercedes
patsnaso Just wanted to say that.
patsnaso i noticed it to. Something wrong with the wiring? Or normal for a clk gtr
patsnaso a bit of time in the video they are off
What, why old mercedes? He turned on the fog lights but it's a race car so there aren't any so it lights up reverse lights
8:43 they aren't on anymore? I don't even know
okay a red ferrari is nice but that blue is the absolute business.... elegance overload
this was like the absolute superdream in the pre-internet age, I never saw one moving. greatest video you ever shot for me.
Someone should fix that rear lights... CLK-GTR reversing all the time?
He turned the headlight switch to "headlight" then pulled the headlight switch out 2 clicks, which makes every mercedes light up all the lamps, common to see in the cities with newbie mercedes owners/drivers.
Martin Israelsson Probably true but in normal cars 2 clicks turn on the fog lights and not all lamps, for sure not the reverse lights
They’re the rear fog lights!
@@martinisraelsson564 LOL I got a 00' W202 C230 Kompressor and did not know that, first Benz I've owned and love it, just funny I didn't know I was doing that all this time till I saw your old comment...
Oh fuck, lord jesus! This car is insane..
I'd fuck lord jesus
Gauthier Hardy xD
Those squeeky brakes are enough to drive Jesus insane.
What about the interior, huge disappointment.
Peter Lewis I would totally push the GT-1 homologated special out the bed because of its cold brakes.
One of the most beautiful Mercedes cars ever made.
Is like a legendary Pokemon
Hector Gregorio no cuz I saw a legendary Pokémon yesterday
On wheels
Mercedes Benz: Arceus!
BMW: Mewtwo!
Anyone else remember Need for speed 3 and 6, this was my favourite in those games.
OMG!!!! Probably the first hypercar I ever fell in love with!!! I remember Tiff Neddell powersliding one in the snow for "Old" "Old" Top Gear!!! Amazing Vid Sam!!!!
CLK-GTR, Ferrari F40 and Mclaren F1 my Hypercar trinity that got me into cars.
You've had the chance to film/video my all time favourite car. My first car on my lottery win list. You sir are an absolute legend!
Damn. What a car.
Cant wait to finally see the new project 1 in a couple of weeks hope it is as beautiful as this one
Holy shit, if this is the type of content to be expected in vlogarri, we are in for a treat!
My spine tingled when I heard those straight cut gears, what a car!

Looks like the guys at Mercedes were enjoying a bit of "tank chocolate" when designing this... it's amazing to say the least.
Gotta love the clk gtr
Oh man. I love that gear whine that comes with racecars. My old M3 track car used to whine like that and it made me smile every damn time. The CLK GTR and DTM are still some of the coolest cars today.
Anything Lancia gets me hyped! Delta Integrale, bring it on!
also love the abarth emblem between the seats
Sod the car... Is that a beard I spy? 👀👀👀👀
TGE TV Fancy seeing you here my bankrupt gibbon.🐵
TGE TV would you please mention the watch he is wearing?
Yeah, the beard of a 14 year old boy
misms looks like a Omega
To be fair it just looks like he ate a lot of Oreo's and didn't have a napkin handy. Still my boy though Sam!
Damn i keep coming back to this video,,,the music suits the CLK so freaking much, Great content Sam
Oh! My! God! A true unicorn of cars.
I saw this in midnight club 3 when i was younger and i fell in love
this is what it feels like to drive my CLS55 AMG. 600hp, BEAST
I was really confused as to why that CLK had an interior by Abarth until the camera changed lmfao
That car looks so good in the road.
Jeez, you and MrJWW are killing it on YT
You can tell from the teasers that the project 1 is gonna look a lot like this
Not only does this video feature my dream car, but I also see you're wearing an Omega Speedmaster; my dream watch! Love it!!
The CLK GTR is almost pure unobtainium. I saw 1 in California year or so ago for sale for $3.8 million and it sold 2 days later for $3.3 million. I was told it was purchased by a very private collector, most likely never to be seen in public again.
Why would you put silencers on it wtf :(
Richard Gaule otherwise it would probably be illegally loud
Richard Gaule track noise regulations
to make it street legal
Richard Gaule Laws so they could sell it, and if they didn't sell a certain number for the road it wasn't allowed to be entered into the GT series. Them was the laws back in the day, this and the MC12 are quite literally built purely for racing and that's it, but had to be sold for the road for that.
Fuck off
Cool car from Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit and Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2!
Thanks a lot for this video!!! Love the CLK GTR the best car ever!!
People talk about the La Ferrari, P1 and 918 being the ultimate garage trio, but imagine having a road-going CLK-GTR and a 911-GT1.
i would argue that a McLaren F1, a CLK GTR and an Aero would be the godly trio...like undisputed machines of their time.!!
I still love this car to this day,beautiful
Always a treat to see that car which basicly looks brand new design wise except a few parts
Had a toy car model like this from the video,and when i was 9-10 yo i played with that model all day,didnt know the exact model until now ! Nostalgia....
Sam you were in my town!! I can't believe this, I was watching the video ad I recognized the dealer, you've passed 10 m far from my house door! Welcome to saronno!
the CLK GTR, along with the Mclaren F1 LM, Porsche 911 GT1, Nissan R390 and Toyota GT One are the 5 most insane cars in the world.
simplemandude u forgot the F40
Still looks incredible... been drooling over this car since I was 13 years old, thumbing through Car & Driver and Automobile in Borders Books (and never buying anything). RIP Borders, RIP homologation rules.
Huge question.. does that car have the reverse lights stuck on like every other mercedez of that era when the tails lights stop light would be stuck on?
Totally crazy to drive this 8 Million Euro CLK-GTR on the road! 🙈😱
Great your going to do 🔜 a Lancia Delta Integrale video 🎬🎥📹....can't wait....it's a classic..!!! 😀👌
I'm only watching the ads willingly because I want to see that Ferrari 360 as soon as possible! Loving the daily videos Sam, I and I hope everybody else looks forward to them everyday :D
Music is seriously bumpin !!!
I drove through the thunderstorms from Umbria through Tuscany aswell yesterday morning. It was insane!!! Lightning everywhere!
Thanks for showing this Rare CLK-GTR Sam. ..it's fantastic...it's great to see these cars on the road!
They are always tucked away in someone's collection where we hardly see them! 👍😀👌
The day in which this man collects his own challenge stradale will be amazing
Vinwiki sent me here! Can’t wait to see more of your videos!
we are in 2018 and yet this car is unbelievably spectacular
this car is my favorite mercedes car ever
Your Omega isn't working.
Is it broken?
Can you do a review on that watch?
Amazing car but pretty naughty title saying 'picking up a Mercedes CLK-GTR' when from what I can see you literally didn't even sit in it!
how come the reverse lights are still on even though the car is going forward?
The first time I ever laid eyes on a clk gtr was on NFS Hot Pursuit 2 on my GameCube. Man those were the days
Loved the Ferrari 330 you passed at 9:10.
Great video as always.
Denis Spratt 365 GTC! Most noticable difference with the 330 gtc is that the 330 has a side intake-ish thing above the pininfarina logo on the side. Completely agree though :)
RammieAudi You might be right on that.
But anyway it´s a really beautiful car.
Denis Spratt it sure is!
RammiejAudi amazing! Vintage Ferrari are still beautiful to this day
First reaction to this title was "Holy Shitballs!!"
3:43 reverse lights are on? Wiring issues?
Your reverse lights are on pal 😂👍
Should be reported for sexual content
STG is smashing the content recently whilst many others channels are dying... Keep it up dude!
You were in Saronno and i didn't know 😢 this don't will happen again, i'm to heartbroken
2:50 reverse lights stuck on while driving forward. Gotta love the classic 90's Mercedes wiring issues
That White CS looked amazing
Thank you so much and we need and wish more videos in 4K resolution soon please
Micheal Fink designed the CLK and my favourite saloon ever made the 2005 CLS 😊⭐⭐⭐
YOU WERE IN SARONNO OMG
I LIVE LIKE 5 KM AWAY THERE
Totally insane Sam, wish you got a ride in it!
Why were the reverse lights stuck on the CLK GRR
that legendary battle between the McLaren f1 and this rare god of a car.........i cant help but feel goosebumps, really godly machines...is it okay to be selfish and have very few people know about such road gods?!!!😊
two things u need to do 1. practicality review on this 2. try to take off in this clk like in Le Mans
I read that you could use the gearbox without the clutch (besides coming from a stop of course) but it would expedite the wear of the clutch and had to be replaced much more frequently. Really just for track use
In 2009 this car was sold for ~400-500k. Today the market value is ~3.5 Million Euros.
Now go find a 190E Evo 2..I'm surprised more people don't turn their 190's into replicas. They seem like a capable platform.
Beautiful car dude! Thnx for showing it!!
Why would you want a CS without the stripe? Might as welk have a modena.
2 of my favourite cars there,
CLK GTR, MC12, the only thing missing is a 959
and the F50 of course, this video has almost everything
Clk's reverse lights are stuck or im wrong?

An absolute masterpiece. Gorgeous
I remember a huge CLK GTR takeoff
at 1997 Le-Mans...🛫
You could make a fry up between those gear changes
Tbh it looks like a 1999 c class with a massive wing
Broo back in the day this was my dream car and still is
would have love to have gotten more detail on the clk gtr.
It has a sequential gearbox. You only need the clutch to get going.
GREAT VIDEO!!! Not a whole lot on the CLK-GTR... Thanks for this one!
lemonest lemon of all. cluster will light up like Christmas evening 10 miles from the dealership.
The merc CLK GTR has a straight cut gearbox..... all race orientated. Hence clunk & whine!
your background music is always on point
reverse gear lights on? Faulty electronics?
If you could own two cars, one being that CLK GTR and a 911 GT1, you would automatically win life. Might as well pick up an McLaren F1, and Mazda 787B while your at it.
This looks like a road going version of their GT1 race car. I saw the racing car at Laguna Seca in 1998.
