Kendrick already writing the next diss track on this info
“Say drake I hear you not a man of your word,
You bet not ever say the alphabet wit big bird”😂
Wish we see the track in Home made P.Diddy movie with Drake.
The CLK GTR is a stunning piece of automotive art. Just drop dead gorgeous.
Yet if it wasn't for Mc Laren F1 -> CLK - GTR would not existed at all & Porsche GT1 either.. both were created & developed in hurry using McLaren F1-gtr full platform chassis just with different engines and different bodies styles.. So of course both team of engineers moved fast creating and testing them out quickly cheating to catch up to fight F1 because they did not need to create them from nothing.. That's why the full respect goes to Gordon Murray, man responsible to create the legendary McLaren F1 (+all it's versions: LM, GTR & long tail).
The "you did it, no we did it" - that's when you know you have a truly inspirational leader (boss). Thanks for inspiring us all John
John seems like a really incredible leader. Based on how tumultuous the road was to acquire the roadster, John supporting his employee through the process and giving him the credit for the success makes him the kind of person most of us dream of having as a boss.
Man when i heard that i literally said "man look at these guys, this unicorn of a car is probably close but NOT more rare than these guys manners, like this is true gentleman right freaking there" and am super into cars, that's how much they are wholesome and gentlemen, i wish them best of the best.
I was visiting Miami from Finland two years ago and on my to-do-list was to see the Curated showroom in person. As I peeped through the windows (too scared to walk through the front door) I saw an F40, a Countach and a Diablo for the first time with my own eyes. I can't even begin to comprehend what I would've gone through emotionally had I seen a CLK GTR there live.. Amazing video yet again. Thank you Curated
You should have stopped in! I did last summer with my wife and son and they were super nice.
you came all the way from finland and had no balls to introduce yourself?
I came from texas in my rental ecoboost mustang , definitely wish i could go inside but i know they got a business to run so i just slowed down and stared lol
@startingtech3900 talk that talk bruh ✊🏾🤣 savage
@@phxenixs3801 bros viking ancestors would be gravely disappointed
Drake being Drake. What a surprise.
His financial advisor probably said otherwise 😂
The Mercedes CLK GTR was produced from 1998-1999 and 2006; so that makes the NEWEST CLK GTR 18 years old; that is clearly too old for Drake. If the car was made in 2010; which would put it around 14 years old, that might have been something he would have jumped at the chance for.
I hope he is now blacklisted. The talentless RnB “artist” doesn’t deserve such an amazing piece of history anyway.
Never trust a joo
@@IIDaveblacklisted?😂
Leaning on a 12 million dollar car is a level of audacity I just can’t fathom.
That's how you know he ain't owing it... just like all the rappers renting it LOL 🤣
My exact thought, yo don't touch the car and stay
the f away from it.
Shut up, princess. They bought it, so they can do whatever the fuck they want with it?! Plus, it’s just a car. You don’t have to pamper and baby it as a garage queen like these old rich folks do. These cars were meant to be driven.
At the end of the day it’s still just metal fabricated.

CLK GTR is the finest car ever made by the hand of mankind. There's no better prize. Insane!!!!
That Merc is one of the few cars in the world that can make that Reventon basically turn invisible when parked next to it.
Reventon is ugly, it's for mugs who want to spend big money on something worse than it's successor (Aventador). Same as the Sian's successor is the Revuelto for a fraction of the cost. It's a pattern...
@@smeshfactory3992that’s your opinion goober I think the car is beautiful
@@MultiBigdog99 Aventador is better in every way for a fraction of the cost. Lambo make punka of you all every time.
The sound of the Reventon V12 (a Murcie basically) is way nicer than the sound of the Aventador V12. So definetly not better in every way
To be fair, it’ll make any car invisible if parked next to it. Even a Buggati, Pagani, or Koenigsegg.
How wierd anyway that a car worth 12 milions is like a dream for someone to buy and for the Sheik its like toycar , a small piece of he's gigantic garage. Very beautiful car.
I visited you guys two weeks ago from Germany and it was incredible to see this car in person (and quite frankly all of the showroom).
Everyone was super friendly as I took shots of the cars. You guys have the most amazing variety of automobiles, keep it up and I’m certain the CLK GTR Roadster will find a great new home, with or without Drake 😄😉
Road going Lemans GT1 variants like the CLK GTR are in a class of their own, even higher than modern day hyper cars. Not just "race cars for the road" but truly race cars with number plates! Well done Curated!
In my opinion, you guys have the best showroom in the world. Sure, those Dubai dealerships have ten Bugatti Chirons, two Lamborghini Venenos, etc etc., but you guys have literal automotive enthusiast legends eating up every square foot of showroom floor. Interesting, historically important, legendary vehicles. The best of the best, the coolest of the cool. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if y'all were able to get your hands on an F1 LM. I'll be here watching when it happens. I have been in love with the CLK GTR since I first laid eyes on it, but (unbelievably) I think I'd still prefer to have the gated 6-speed Murci SV that Ron bought from y'all. When it comes to the best automotive icons, in the best specifications imaginable, you guys have the market cornered. Thank you for sharing these gems with us!
The dealerships in Dubai have four of this and X amount of that because they are overpriced. If you are sitting on a car for two plus year's then it's overpriced. Also moving it between dealers isn't fooling enyone.
Their showroom is class at its peak.
No the best are in Dubai
bro go to VIPMOTORS and F1RSTMOTORS in Dubai
F1rst motors in dubai is insane
Reventon is peak Lamborghini. From the time when special editions were really really rare and special still. After the big head in tiny suit aka Winkelmann came to CEO the whole special edition was diluted to mean nothing as they printed next special edition every week with different colored mirrors or one stripe less or more.
Veneno
You just forget about the murcielago sv? The reventon is just an aventador with some different trim.
Surprised the CLK did flip coming off the flatbed.
That being said, that’s one of the absolute holy grail cars. Absolutely stunning when all 4 wheels manage to stay on the ground.
You're a proper car guy 😂😂😂 not many understand the Lemans joke
These videos just keep getting better and better. The music, the camera angles, the lighting are all first rate. Oh and the cars are not too bad either.
Congrats on 100K Johnny Boy!! You made it to that number through amazing content and passion. No click bait!
You need to get over to Brunai ... we need to see footage of those cars.
@@Carsaddiction If your referring to the Sultan's collection doubt it. Even Trump couldn't gain access to that.
@@Tunerboy8732 'Even Trump'? LOL
@@ValuedComment Who is Trump outside of his capacity of being President? Just a bottom of the ladder billionaire....
At least TRUMP could identify a Car. The Faken Jamakin & Mr Mumbles would not even know one end from the other.
@@grantwes Who the hell are you referring to?
Sometimes the chase is better than the catch. Sometimes it isn’t. Massive Congrats Curated for acquiring one of my dream cars. 🇦🇺
Just stopped by the showroom 2 days ago. Was star struck by the cgt and veyron outside, then nearly broke my jaw from it falling on the floor after seeing the clk gtr roadster. Everyone was so nice there and I was shocked they would let a 17 year old get so close to such amazing cars.
Seeing the old racing footage of CLKs, F1s, GT1s always blows my mind. The amount of money out racing hard on the track!
Couldn’t have picked the worse time to do, Drake content. 😂
still popping drake cant loose
That’s exactly what I was thinking about. I wonder why drake backed out? Cuz of his career issues rn?
Amazing automobiles and happy these guys are thriving with this company. Obviously they are doing things the right way and gaining respect all around the world.
i just saw my dream car in this video which was not even in the title. Lamborghini Reventon. This car made me fall in love with modern day super cars, which such a unique design and interior. ♥♥♥
The CLK GTR Roadster is a favorite of mine. It just screams money. Along with the EB110SS, GT1 Straßenversion and MC12 among others.
I was born and currently live in Toronto, Drakes a hero over here amongst people it’s embarrassing to see that he backed out of a purchase like this. A man is only as good as his word.
“He’s not like us, He’s not like us”. Drake bailing on a deal
You guys are 100% the best in the world at what you do. Thanks for documenting and sharing. This TH-cam channel should have millions of subs.
When you see it, you are in the history of automobiles! Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR.
👍 Mercedes v12 💪
The Squidd did an amazing video on the history of this car. Absolutely wonderfully done. Everyone should watch it.
En Noviembre visitaré Curated por segundo año consecutivo, desde España. Ojalá pueda ver en persona esta mítica obra desde arte automovilística 🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing this story , I really enjoyed hearing about this journey.
the sultan of brunei has the most insane car collection ever. 7000 cars worth total like 4 billion dollars.
They're all rusted and moldy so more like $50
And this comment is relevant to the video how?
@@trenthazbroek5602the sultan may very well have the worlds only clk gtr with a soft top convertible and with a 6 speed manual
The TH-cam channel Fastrrr has one. I just got done watching their video and they took it out driving and then this video popped up as recommended. Perfect timing.
I’m surprised the Royal Family agreed on selling it? It’s not like they need the money? That collection is well known and there are only six roadsters.
Maybe they made a deal with Drake to perform at one of their parties 😂
It's Drake. That car won't stay in the collection longer than a year, and once he gets nabbed for doing nasty shit eventually, they'll swoop in and grab it back for peanuts.
@@YoSuey Wait until the video of Drake at one of Diddy's Diddle parties surfaces....
Wow, I am glad I saw this. "A certain artist" just offered to buy my late '80s Lada Riva, but the deal didn't seem quite right. Thank you, Curated. (I am KIDDING, Curated. I love your work)
You were made for this channel. Epic content every time. Also thanks for parking it up right up front so us walkers can see a car we likely won’t ever see again 🙏🙏
I remember using the clk gtr in need for speed. One of my favorite cars of all time. Great video
Congrats on 100k!
I am surprised it took this long. One of my favorite channels on The Tube.
When that big dude was leaning against that car it was literally driving me insane 😂
Need an in depth video on the Reventon!!! Want to see more of that olive interior and the custom gauges
There's a few reviews of them...
Unreal car! Wish manufactures would put a proper or at least different steering wheel in these special cars. Thats the same steering wheel in a 2001 C230. Porsche did the same thing with the Carrera GT
It would've been a tragedy if this amazing machine ended up in the hands of a rapper or any fool unable to appreciate it...belongs in a museum collection.
Arrogant statement, the person who appreciates it is the one who can afford to pay.!
His "Rich Flex" wasn't in "Gods Plan" 😂
🥁
Corny asf
We had the black clk roadster at work inperson these are insane
CLK-GTR is the best 90s Halo car for me. The F1 is a stunning achievement, how ever it comes short of the CLK, because it doesn't have such overly dramatic design.
Agreed.
I would do unspeakable things for that car. Absolutely design perfection.
It's cool that there's CLK GTR roadster in the USA. I believe that were CLK GTR coupes in the USA. Somebody in the USA will buy this super rare hype car.
Awesome video! The best one so far. Congratulations John and Hershel! 🎉❤
10:37 this guy looks like the older version of Alex gintani lmao
That EB110 in black with yhem wheels looks good, I have never seen that one before.
You guys need to meet up and recreate the end scene from Fast Five with the eggs, but with CLK GTRs
“You know what’s crazy? There’s only 4 of those cars in the whole world. I got the only one on the western hemisphere”
Second car pulls up
good timing with diddy getting locked up and having another fiddler in the title.. lol
My favorite car as a kid outside of the f1 due to NFS hot pursuit 2 lol
My goodness, I wish I could make a trip to your showroom! You guys are handling once in a lifetime cars every day! Don't ever take it for granted!
Bus ticket homie. Not expensive I'd say. Or train. Guess depends on where you live right?
But that's what I love about this channel. The type of cars, the respect of the cars and the history of the cars. Very unique.
@jasonsimpkins9069 travel takes more than just money... it takes time as well
I'm not sure if it's the actual cars that Curated shares with us that make it seem like every new video "one-ups" the previous or if it's how the video quality and production value drastically increases with each new entry into the Curated library. If you go back and compare some of the early work it almost doesn't look like the same channel.
What an absolute beauty's they are.... definitely two main masterpieces at a frame..you guys are lucky to witness em,see em,feel them you know..
Loved everybog of this episode..❤️🔥❤️🔥✅✅
I prefer the non roadster version of it, but I have to admit still, this is probably one of the best looking sportscar ever made
I heard there were a few models of a supersports version, not sure if this information is true, nonetheless I would dream to see it one day, even on a video
Reventon is just unreal in person
Absolutely amazing! Very well done. Congrats to you and your team. 👍👍
GTR beautiful car to see .
That Silver F40 LM in the background 15:27, I'm guessing that the one Supercar Ron (youtube guy) bought. I can't believe there are many Silver F40 LM's around his was a reg F40 and upgraded to LM spec in Thailand I believe and he purchased it in the last few months. @We are Curated, can you confirm?
The CLK-GTR roadster is an amazing purchase, really an epic car.
Yes, we sold him the car!
Beautiful car and I'm sure it is a pleasure to have in the showroom for a bit. Next you guys need to chase a GT1, would love to see a video on that car as I'm a Porsche guy.
He is right. The REventon is something else.
CLK GTR are one of the most stunning cars designed but Drake does not deserve it this should be a real collector
You’re like the little brother that got tagged along with rich friends and family to just sell and drive sick cars salutteeee
That car is way to old for Drake
Lmfaoooooooo
☠
Expensive * his loans got cut off in Atlanta
It's way too cheap for him, bruv.😂
No you didn’t
Drake dropped the bag on this one
Drake pulled a Hoovie on John
Kinda the opposite….
@bdoginit both backed out of a verbal commitment but yes the details are opposite
Shmees videos stamped that buy 😂
Great VIDEO!!!! CONGRATS!! Drake didn’t want to show those POF’s and LOI
Congrats to you guys! Amazing story. Thank you for sharing it and keep’em coming.
I had a chance to get a ride in the Reventon... WOOOOOOOOOOW... Definitely a dream car to own 1 day
Thanks guys, I’m drooling. But at the end of the day I would take home the LFA 👌
I reached 250 thousand dollars invested, it took me 2 years, last month I received 30 thousand only in dividends. Only with believers. This month it will be 40,000 and so on, in the next few years it will be 500 thousand in the year alone in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend yields. What took me 2 years to invest, I will have in 1 Year
I am 52 years old. I reached my first 100 thousand dollars in just 3 months. I started with 20k investing in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend income. My medium-term goal is to reach one million dollars before I turn 55.
Cryptocurrency investments pay a higher percentage return than any other investment. Mainly Bitcoin ETFs, which mostly pay out every week
This year I reached 100 thousand invested in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend income, it was exactly 1 year and 4 months, I already accelerated to reach 200 thousand, I think I will reach the goal sooner
Success is always the greatest happiness, I have been in the market since 2020, I have a total of 945 thousand dollars with my 75 thousand dollars invested in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend yields Investing in cryptocurrencies was the best decision I made in my life
How did you achieve this in a short period of time?
Wow! Was he actually leaning on that car? Holy shit dude...
This should be the top comment!
Was thinking the same thing crazy
Truly dose make you speechless! When i came by to see it i was absolutely blown away!🤩
I would be afraid to breathe around that car. Should be in a museum in a glass box with a controlled environment. So, us slups of the world could see this beauty in person. It's a work of art. Too bad it will be locked away in someones collection hidden from the world to see in person.
Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit vibes ❤
Epic! Congrats John and Herschel!!!!
Congrats on the 100k subscribers!
Cant believe this guy leans on the car the way he does.
from Drake's IG story it seemed like Drake was trying to get a coupe, got a screenshot of when i knew he was trying to acquire one
Never give up. Well done boys.
I have had the pleasure of seeing two CLK GTR I seen one in 2007 in vancouver canada driving. man with a beard and a turban driving it. There used to be a snowbird here in scottsdale that had multiple MC12's one had a bigger spoiler. The guy was from vancouver and he told me the that the man with that GTR that i seen in vancouver had two of them as well a custom one off bugatti veyron with chrome fenders and blue carbon in the back he said.
6 or 7months ago Drake's career hadn't been killed by Kendrick Lamar. No wonder he backed out.
This is the “not like us” sequel 😂😂😂 sucks they got stuck with the bill though.
14:05 it‘s not a Harman Kardon radio unit. It‘s a Becker Traffic Pro the same which is also found in Fords and Kias of the time 😉
It says Harmon Kardon on the faceplate 😌
it’s not necessary to lean on a car
If it's not yours of course don't, if it is you get to do what you want with it you weirdo.
No, he's right. It's unprofessional to lean on a car that's for sale while making an advertisement video.
@@BlagoP They do it all the time in videos, they seem to be doing fine since they just bought a $12M 1 of 6 car. These are cars not paintings, calm down.
Are you going to buy the car? No?... Then let them do whatever they want to it... Its a car & leaning on the car isn't going to decrease the value
I agree, sloppy and careless in the moment.
Reventon just goes in an open air flat bed lmao
That CLK GTR is just for looking at, and not for running out to the trendy sushi joint. These homologation and LM roadsters shake your darn teeth out. You feel every pebble. The ride is so rough, it feels like you are about to break traction even though you are far from it. It's an uneasy feeling.
Clk gtrs are so fucking sick. One of the coolest cars ever
Amazing car, my high school days
Are you guys gonna do a feature video on the Reventón???
Drake is just a Hype, wouldn't be surprised he wouldn't even have the cash for it
"Oh Lord, won't ya buy me a Mercedes-Benz (CLK GTR Roadster)"
That's certainly a high pressure scenario and an expensive "miscommunication"! You've probably told Drake to shit in his hat 🙄 Anyway, congratulations on getting it done and I'm sure you'll do well with it!
Hey Drake, I heard you like em young. Better not end up in cell block 1.
The CLK may be one of the coolest things I've ever seen, was always a gaming icon too.
need for speed hot pursuit 2 🥰
@@lysssky2 OG NFS and the mclaren F1.
I came all the way to Miami to see it but unfortunately didn't have a chance to enter to the showroom and I'm leaving tomorrow.
Wow a 12 Million Dollar car. You could have 2 or 3 Bugattis or 1 Benz
If you know you know....
This car is the roadster version of a McLaren f1 car.
If you know the clk gtr story like i do its the number one car to wanna own - a zonda but still shes one of one car
