Bro must have psychic abilities! Just discovered this Mercedes-Benz yesterday, and today he's already dropping a video on it. 😂🔮
This CLK is peak 2000s car design. I have always been in love with this era of cars 😍
And nowadays, German “luxury” doesn’t exist to me.
Oh, how the car world gets worse every year…
@@faheemabbas3965 I was just looking at the new mercedes and they literally have dash cams facing the driver and they call them selfie camera "So you and the passengers can take selfies." It's cringe as hell. Mercedes is no longer making driver cars.
@@deekamikaze they know who they’re making cars for, and it’s not us unfortunately. And it’s the worst part, because they’re making even more profit now. They won’t change, forever.
German “luxury” won’t.
I just miss those headlights.. What came after never really worked. They were like BMW's grille, you instantly recognized it was a Benz
The way the CLK DTM looks perfectly describes how cool I felt driving my CLK320. All CLKS are beautiful cars!
you have some of the best car content on the internet period
Thank you!!! Please share
That snarl from the supercharger is absolutely insane!
That supercharger sounds ANGRY, it’s literally the gates of hell opening
Tedward usually when passing a cemetary: "we will not rev the engine out of respect for the dead"
Tedward in this Mercedes when passing a cemetary: "we can wake the dead"
it's look like the end of the world is comin'hot
That supercharger is angry af, absolutely wicked car. I love it.
The M113 was such a beast of an engine. Maybe the greatest engine MB ever made, especially when you consider its reliability. Whether is a C55, E55, SL55, or this monster, I really believe these M113 AMGs will command serious money in the future.
Holy, the supercharger sounds like a bat out of hell man. So cool
Instant thrust. The M113 might be the best Mercedes motor ever. What an insane car. A dream of mine is to own a CLK AMG.
Its a work of art. A man who owns a CLK DTM cab is a happy man!
The supercharger sound is like almost nothing else! Love it!
In the South, a supercharger is a blower. That said-that engine and that blower is outrageous!! The engine is so modified that must cost more than my mom's car.
That engine gave me flashbacks to the original "Mad Max." The last of The V8s!
Someone told the engineers and mechanics, "See what you can do." They took it personally!
Cool cars, also that black SL-65 (4:45) still has such a timeless design.
it seems like the digital speedometer is reading the analog as if it was displaying MPH, and converting that to KMH, even though it's already in KMH 🤣🤣 great video!
Haha yes!!!
@@TedwardDrives do you think you can do a POV: drive on a 2000s Audi A6 Quattro bi-turbo 6 spd manual?
That supercharger sounds mean as hell
Looks like it lived in the UK for 3 years 2018-2021 and still has its plate, cool!
Now just need to drive the CLK GTR
This car is one of the coolest cars on the planet! Looks even crazier in person too...one of the GOAT'S for sure
I only like the Mercedes GTR, but before that car existed, i had ticket to watch a DTM race, i fell in love with the AMG C63 DTM. Flames of 50cm came out of the exhaust, and since i was a kid at the time, love at first sight😂
Your videos are the best, Tedward!
Thank you!!
I just saw one today, absolutely unreal in person.
My wife, after seeing me watch this video a few times throughout the day, said she can make the same sounds with the blender 😂😂😂
didn't expect this to impress, sounds incredible and you can feel the torque through the camera
Yes! Thank you Tom. My favorite Mercedes-Benz ever made. The most insane noise ever.
This is insane. Hard to find any videos on the DTM let alone a pov 🙏
Holy fuck this is insane!!! Never understood the carbio on a track car but that makes this even cooler!! Next up CLK GTR? lol
Remains one of the best looking performance Mercedes. Both in coupe and convertible form.
As a Canadian viewer I love the kmh speedo for once 😂
Pure magic. Great ride. Thanks for taking us along!
Your camera bag is always a good G force meter hahaha
😆
Level of want is very high on this. 😮
Good stuff ! Convertible stay winning
What a sound my god
I love the gear knob on these cars.
This rude ass supercharger certainly has my attention
The golden era ❤
I guess you could call this a black series before they called them that. I've got an 06 CLS 55AMG and it's always been what I would consider my favorite German "muscle car" in a sense, these 5.4 supercharged V8 engines just had a sound and feel that the later turbos couldn't capture even though they got more powerful. I guess this could be called the ultimate car from that era.
I am watching this with the biggest smile on my face.
I’ve never heard such a wuuusshhh from an AMG supercharger! I prefer the 5.5 over the 6.3 AMG. While working at Benz from 2015-2019 there was more motor work on 6.3 than older AMG’s kompressors. This must have smaller pulley and renntech performance parts! lol I just heard you mention renntech and had to edit.
I always thought that it's the best Mercedes ERA! Daimler-Chrysler union makes it possible this legendary machines! CLK 55 AMG, CLK GTR, this DTM!
Honestly, there was tons of potential and AMG really showed this. I feel like AMG wanted an honest partnership(As evident with the creation of the SRT team) but Mercedes was fooling EVERYONE in an attempt to takeover Chrysler. Ruthless business but that's the nature of the beast...
Looks and sounds great 😍
I did that same drive on the same day! From the ski club to the golf club!
This is what an AMG is supposed to be!!
Gotta love that factory widebody 🔥🔥
These videos could work on spotify i would listen to it
That engine is so mad... Wowza... 😅
0:48 it has a uk license plate, meaning this car is from uk
i own the regular clk 2005 and i love it 😅 i cant imagine that beast here
What a car. Thanks for the video.
Cool, car, but that phone mount would drive me bat-shit. LOL!
Also, totally feel you about the transmission. I have an E55 Wagon, and the transmission is the one thing that really lets it down. I daydream about swapping in a ZF 8 speed all the time.
Beautiful day indeed, some beautiful cars too but the scenery though! Where was it?
I might be alone with this one, but I think it looks fantastic. I wish you did an idle sound comparison between this and the SL65 or did some vlog style outside shots of both. These two were the best cars out of the pack imo.
just taking you along for the ride. If I did vlog style it would have been fake because we just drove...unless you would like to watch me eat tacos which could have been arranged
@@TedwardDrives I meant just start them up and get to the back to shoot the idle for a second there like you do sometimes, or get a little fly by shot. Care to share where was the video shot at?
Not the type of car for me, but those roads looked nice if you can find a time without the traffic. The SL65 looks so beautiful to me.
it's crazy they used that atrocious four spoke steering wheel even in their most prestigious AMG model!
It's crazy that this doesn't sound like any M113K car I've heard before.
Same. It was really shocking
interesting. i own an SL55 and i find it sounds very familiar but sure it has its own characteristics - more raw and instant maybe
This seems sweet to drive!
and awesome video!
I remember this car from TDU back in the day
im the guy you dont know that has driven almost every car out there. ive never heard a sound like that from a vehicle.
I'm jealous you got to be in the same parking lot as this car.
cant get over how much i need an sl65 black series
Funnily enough they were more powerfull than the DTM racecars.
In DTM at the time, the engines were all 4L naturally aspirated V8's. Sure the racecars were lighter and stiffer and had a sequential gearbox, but they were no match in the sound department to the 5.5L V8.
(And yes i have been at a DTM race of that aera and heard the racecars with the throttlepedal on the floor.)
Was the most affordable and fun professional car racing series to watch in europe at the time.
(a days ticket for 20€ and you were not limited to one single area around the racetrack.)
Kim of Mega upload has or had 2 of them.
respect for the OHOAT plate holders
What a dream drive!
Pretty sure Kimi Raikkonen has the non cabrio extremely hotted up, he used it to evade the french cops one time to get on track on time lmfao
that car sounds absolutely mean, its actually terrifying
The whole concept of a lightweight DTM-inspired CLK with a slushbox automatic is honestly a bit stupid if you think about it, and the the convertible is technically even more stupid, but it sure does let you hear that V8 growl :)
If I could dream I would want the coupe with a manual gearbox and some tweaks to the bodykit to make all the vents and stuff active instead of fake.
OHOAT plate and driven hard? The owner must be a true enthusiast.
i was bonkers when i was 16 and this came out. Turns out i was right :D
Was my favorite as a young boy
Is there a reason for having the UK plate on the front? It isn't the first time I've seen it and there seems to be a lot of people importing cars and bikes from the UK at the moment. Also that reg number is currently on SORN and has no export marker, so it would have to have left in pieces in a shipping container, although it was sold in October last year in the Midlands so that buyer must have moved it out of the country
This car is sick!
Does it shift faster then a e55 ? Seems like it has different tcu
I love your videos man, but the way you always put the seat all the way forward triggers me😂
Need to ready pedals and steering wheel. Good driving position should not trigger
Rare interior, looks a bit silly with the phone on the dash but interesting steering wheel decision.
looks a bit silly with the phone on the dash? do you expect it to have an infotainment screen with apple car play? its from 2006
@@TedwardDrives no I personally just wouldn‘t bother with it at all, besides the rest of the car looks very well aged
Bro where'd you go to drive this im looking to convert my clk500 into dmt by hand. I'm talking shape it myself, so I'd really like to take a look close pics and if allowed measurements. 🙏🙏
Good old car .Proper car 😊
AMAZING
MB CLK DTM AMG: GOAT
what a dream of a car
Hopefully they leave the wheels alone on this one.
Veeery nice engine
I have a 5.5 liter v8 in my benz. Whats the ideal exhaust mod?
What is that 'air leaking' sound each time you rev?
6:58 i got a ticket on that road last week 😭
This has the M113k?
what rims are on the black Merc?
How do you store the keys for all of your 4 personal cars? I feel like that would be a huge pain in the ass lol
Had no idea convertibles existed.
Bros just casually hooning someone elses $750k car
Following the owner 😂
first Also I love the videos keep up the amazing work man
Thank you!! Please share
2:10 why does it have an extra number plate in the trunk?
if "bat out of hell" was a car:
And hte spyder version has 540 hp insted of 580 hp if i am right...
Coupe or Cabriolet have 580 hp
Is it normal for your dash to blink red w209
its a shift light
@TedwardDrivescheck engine? In the reason I replied because some one told me my gas pedal needs replaced
Having acceralation issue it goes 20mph then once it's warm up it goes 30 to 40
Mph
How much are they to buy?
600k+
We have one for sale in New Zealand if anyone wants one it is for sale
Please tell me you'll get to drive the SL 65 AMG BS.
Day 14 of asking Tedward to drive a S60R (probably less exciting than this clk, but still a fun car to drive🫡)
They're not even that good, don't excel in any department.
bit odd its got a front uk plate
That’s where it came from :)
Those plates hahahahah
4:49 japanese truck?
