[JAKSthereal]

@faizaanalap4 in germany.. there is this one thing that is called Autobahn.. i know the rest of the world don't have such a thing.. yeah but in germany .. there is it.. so 12 cylinders could be needed.. and in straight line.. and yes, the autobahn is mostly straight.. you can use the 12 cylinders power.. and if you have the money, tell me one aspect why you shouldn't buy this car..

[Desmonddd2002]

Dear BBC,  Road testing a car is different from putting it on a circuit.

Keen viewer who wanted to watch a road test of this car.

[chrisluvjh]

rubbish car

[EVERLIVERPOOL]

@chrisluvjh why do u hates merc ?

[danielraul1989]

@EVERLIVERPOOL cause he can't afford one

[calibred818]

SOOO!! MUCH!! TORQUE!!! my cousin owns a used car dealership and bought an 07 s65 back in the day.. I saw what that giant beast does.. i cant even imagine what the sl's and cl's do.. theyre lighter and have more horsepower and torque

[sharartibrat87]

How many people drive a luxury executive car like this?

Mercedez awesome.

[LARDRAX117]

AMG FTW

[MetalHeavens14]

I love Mercedes so much and the germans definitely know how to build cars-you just can't deny it.

[vivaportugalhabs]

lol an ad for the chevy camora popped up as i was watching

[vivaportugalhabs]

cl65 is an awesome luxury car

[Iluvcarsforever02]

Can someone tell me the name of the song playing in the car whilst Stig thumps it round the track? Cheers :)

[KillanatorVids]

so poor framerate...-.-

[popkraft]

Lol nice car. I still have my 98' CL600 which runs... has air conditioning... ok car got it from a friend who moved out of the country so it was cheap :) xD

[k2sb2003]

this is just a german mustang...and why you buy a BMW

[4MATICbenz]

@k2sb2003 , "just a German Mustang" -you're lucky im wasting my time replying to your pathetic comment after you can start off saying something so foolishly ignorant.

Anyway, on to the second part of your comment. This is NOT why you buy a BMW. This is why you buy a Black Series AMG. Also, the Mercedes SLR McLaren ran a 1:20.9, the SL65 ran a 1:23.0, and the E63 AMG ran a 1:24.9. Why is it that no BMW has ever beaten any of these times? BMWs couldnt possibly be overrated, now could they?

[k2sb20033]

@4MATICbenz dude this car is the biggest pile of crap ive seen....it had more body roll and a range rover through the corner...sure benz is getting better but they are the "american muscle" care of europe...great and quick in a straight line but forget anything past normal in the corner.

[nicktexel]

@k2sb20033 you probably never drove an amg?

[yashar1991]

very nice car. I will take this over any "car enthusiasts" cars, they sound like whiny bitches.....

[4MATICbenz]

@yashar1991 , haha I think where you said "car enthusiasts". you meant to say "BMW fanboys". Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati, and Aston Martin are all car enthusiast cars, but you never hear owners of them bragging or bitching about how they can handle better than a Mercedes. It's only the BMW drivers. I wonder why that is....

[soundseeker63]

@4MATICbenz Probably because hardly anyone owns Ferraris, Maseratis, Aston Martins etc...when was the last time you saw one?

When was the last time you saw a BMW? today? They are as common as Ford. Therefore so are owners.

[Funky3887]

kanker tering reclame!

[rAkiztA1155]

eargasm @ 1:09

[booyahbd]

LOL Camper what bank or dealer would finance a college student for a $200,000 car? You got shit.

[nowhereman1952]

This car is not a track car its the ultimate highway cruiser ....

[Christopherr16]

This car is pretty rare, isn't it?

How many are there built?

[ragingbull94mtx]

For the US market, just 194 were produced for the 2005 and 2006 model years combined.

[Camper1234599]

@ragingbull94mtx are you serious? I didn't think my car was that rare.

come to think of it, don't see too many C215 CL65s on the streets.

[ragingbull94mtx]

@Camper1234599 Oh yeah, your car (my dream car!) is extremely rare! You're about 10x more likely to see a C216 CL63 AMG than you are another C215 CL65... and I've only ever seen one CL63 on the road! The rarest AMG sold in the US is the R63... just 30! Though I suspect it has less to do with exclusivity and more to do with the fact that buyers preferred the ML63... but I digress. You sir, have a cool car, and I love this video!

[Camper1234599]

@ragingbull94mtx Very cool!

I've seen two R63s in the flesh and I rather like it

Thanks much, I adore my CL

[sjs2011]

19..college student... buddy you dont have a CL..

[Camper1234599]

@sjs2011 I don't have to prove it to you, but I DO have a C215 Cl65.

[sjs2011]

Hahaha ok junior. Funny stuff.

[Camper1234599]

@sjs2011 just because I make enough money to make the payments while still in college and 19 (and working two jobs) doesn't give you the right to be a slandering ass.

[DLJ585]

I HATE THESE ADS

[salman12322]

@DLJ585 just refresh and they dont come :D

[antichrist07comrad]

@DLJ585 Download adblocker then.

[josj15]

it says the video was uploaded in 2004? how is that possible?

[riz44]

@josj15 its been around for a while

[smokenfly514]

@josj15 maybe because it's a 2004 model? season 4...

[DJFG85]

The first video was uploaded by a guy named Jawed in April 2005. This date is when it originally aired.

[miksirikoitsen]

that Merc is the king of the roads (as the sl65 and s65)

[mtb416]

Last I checked the autobahn does not have sharp turns.

[silvia4live]

yep, but has 120 speedlimit, besides, drivin on the autobahn is like jerking off. fells good but at the end ur sitting with ur dick in u hand. and drivin on the autobahn fells good for few sec, but ur just holdin the gas down, no skill required.

[mtb416]

@silvia4live Precisely my point actually silvia!

[amrnaddaf]

Hi, kindly send me the link of topgear.

Many Thans man.

yours: Amr Naddaf

[38vatan05mekan]

614 cv ps beygir  v12

[alienlivingform]

this is slightly faster than a 300 HP subaru

[ICEMANZIDANE]

i saw this car in real

and its amazing

its a ver ylong car and it has a wounderfoul design

i love this car

[diego750il]

1.29?!?!?!?! A BMW M3 made a better time with 250 or 300 less horsepower.

[TheVtieg6]

diego750il

The M3 is a sports coupe but the Merc is a big fat GT car.

[TheVtieg6]

MrIslam786

Whats your point?

You call yourself MrIslam but yet you make yourself look like an idiot by swearing during the month of ramadan. You should have a little respect.

[MrIslam786]

what are u on about mate think before u speak

[TheVtieg6]

MrIslam786

Im asking what point your trying to make?

[metallicaloverfan]

cool

[dissent4freedom]

id still take a free brabus. that thing looked fun!

[omamder5]

ACK! more than 700 horsepower and it gets 1:29!?!? That's absolutely terrible! What a horrible, horrible car. Definitely not for racing, and it just has way too much power. Still, it's better than the SL that Brabus tuned. That thing was even worse!

[venomviper32]

lol 738 torques "only" 600 bhp. some road cars emphasize the road bit way more than others as you can probably tell. really saying this isnt for racing is like saying an f1 car is bad because you cant find enough shopping bags in it :)

[ROBdeLIS]

Definitely not for racing? No shit, it's a 4-seat executive coupe loaded with heavy luxury features and electronically limited to 250 km/h.

Nobody buys this car to race it, it's a 2-door S-class.

[VortexNeurofunk]

We race 4 door family sedans :D the Holden Commodore and the Ford Falcon

[v8freak55]

HAHA!!

Go Lowndes!!! 888

[VortexNeurofunk]

Lowndes is moving back to holden LOL

[ilmelangolo]

1:14 to 1:16 help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[andrew190e]

1:10 wow

[XxPropheticxX]

thought he said " We have had literally some EMO's"

[pillowsnake94]

"literally some emails" this is the video that I got the expression, "literally some" that I use occasionally!

[732lover]

I'm American and I like that car :(

[Tobias83ausmdorf]

If Americans say that car sucks than buy it

[NismoZtuneR34]

Your comment is as ignorant as your grammar. Why do you assume that all Americans are clones of George Bush and that we're all driving '79 Firebirds? As if we have a choice where we're born, and whose on TV right? Wake up mate, when you do you just might actually like most of us.

[thijsie08]

behave

[NismoZtuneR34]

-ish

[bcarby]

Well spoken

[benjamineby]

@Tobias83ausmdorf well I am american and hyundai sucks- now go have fun with that

[2491cc]

@benjamineby Well ofcourse Hyundai sucks. They make some of the most dull, soul-less cars ever! lol

[booyahbd]

@Tobias83ausmdorf Why would somebody buy a car they think sucks? And Mercedes is kind of viewed as pointless over here. Idk about yours but they break down just as often (if not more) than the domestic vehicles, cost three times as much to buy and three times as much to fix. And it only performs as well as a Subaru? They're only a status symbol for the middle class, a requirement for the upper middle class, and a joke for performance enthusiasts.

[Gondon]

@booyahbd You drive a saturn you tool bag. AMG makes the fastest production cars wtf r you talking about. I hate clueless people

[booyahbd]

@Gondon

1. I drive a Toyota MR2 AW11

2. The "fastest production cars" aren't half way down the list

3. It's a luxury car, as proven over and over the vast majority don't perform well at all on a track

4. An ad hominem typically means you can't argue facts

[joeyisballer]

@booyahbd just watch the damn video...

[ENGINE8V]

@Tobias83ausmdorf  thats good theory indeed

[ozanerkut]

@Tobias83ausmdorf you are so illiterate to know this programme is British :) pathetic people

[cliffthelightning]

@ozanerkut He means that americans are retards when about cars .....its called sarcasm

[porsche911CarreraRSR]

@Tobias83ausmdorf I think you meant *then.....and excuse me dumbass but what is your problem with Americans? America is such a big country we have every type of person; educated, uneducated, poor, rich, middle class, white collar, blue collar, black, white....everything. And btw, you germans are painfully booring, cold, and have a very dark history. And even though I am American I can still appreciate beautiful european machines as well as american cars.

[Veyronp87]

@Tobias83ausmdorf

ok, a datsun sunny sucks

[seventytwonames]

amazing looking when it first came and sure they still turn heads today...relatively cheap to buy second hand as well...if u can afford the up keep!

[cypv12]

i don't care what some dorks say...this is a very good looking and elegant car

[TheDogzBolloks]

That is a car to av a wank over!

[AATSX]

suree...

[gravis121]

that looked ugly going around the track...looked like a buick

[NismoZtuneR34]

ugh, what a terrible car! what's the point of a million hp if you have to corner @ the same speed as a bus? bad lap times, that's the point.

anyway i love zee germans and i love the americans for what each represents.

[nikopernu]

So dragsters are nonsense because they have plenty of muscle and can't do corners like average car?

[NismoZtuneR34]

not true, dragsters have a different purpose than this merc. this is supposed to be a road car, not a drag car. and as a road car it's miserable.

[Theis2a]

As a road car its perfect, as a race car its misserable..

[RRdaKing23]

Actually has a road car its a dream boat

[Puknuti]

it's miserable as a race car, as a road car, it's perfect, this is supposed to be grand tourer, and it is ...

[10020113001]

Yes

[zaqa1234]

Drag cars suck. Period.

[tennisstar523]

eh no matter the lap time its still an amazing car for just driving to show off ;P

[danielp1234567]

Less politic, more fun, please :D

[Vl575]

Well, honestly I don't care if it is bad in corners at these speeds. It's a lovely car! :)

[mormonjoe]

Holy shit, can everyone please just shut the fuck up with these retarded "My country's got a bigger dick than your country" arguments?

We are all friends, so let's act like it, shall we?

[gangsterflo1]

yeah right thats what you guys are

germany is much better :D buy the way do you know how much languages the average american speaks ? if you guys are so smart ? i would say one maybe 2 if its a really smart american who was at one of the really i must say good universities where he obviously had to pay a lot to study there du you know the humbold university in berlin its at least as good as berkly or mit or what ever but its for free !!

[k0namiman]

Thats America's claim to fame? "We're better at shooting people! Hoo-ah!" Lets see what Europe has to crow about; they haven't let the church hijack their schools,they don't need widebody ambulances for their morbidly obese children, and they can actually afford to purchase food AND healthcare on the same paycheck. And as for the cars, at least they're interesting, and not just gutless hunks of plastic and 1930's technology.

[dubfan09]

Cant we all just grow up and stop posting bullshit about who's better than who.

[jazzykoenig]

Such a nice car.

[gstreetfee]

so umm whatever happened to European cars handle better than American cars?

[Air0374]

Still handle better...just not in executive cars...

:P

[caddict69]

thats china made cl65 mercedez.........crazy one...

[lucrativeelfmongrel]

Jeremy Clarkson shagged Freddie Mercury and gave him lice and now is on fire. CARZZZ

[pigpenthegreat]

lolwut

[Aikay373]

This car is the best... !

[Anthonytp1234]

personanlities

[ricedraja]

the new ones are nicer

[two7biturbo]

id take an r8 or an m6 over this any day

[Reverseflush]

The R8 coated in anti reflective triple black...my night rider. I obey the freeway speed limit like an earthquake is predictable. Run slow in the right then drop it like it hot and rocket past those turd mobiles as if they were standing. I have flaming exhuasts that shoot out a butane flame.

[boxsterwelby]

with the way you talk I would not believe you drive this car. I doubt that someone who talks about drag racing really drives a car worth 200 k. Good luck with those "butane" flames.

[healyeamon]

is there any new top gear on the tv these days?

[apachepugel]

these cars just dont appeal to me, but they are ok

[moller300]

that not a road test, thats a lap time

[djcol7nftw]

ooooooooooooh 69,999 subscribers im going to make a new account to get 70000th :)

[Reverseflush]

Not impressed.

To think of all the technology available and MB and AMG didn't put any carbon fiber, ceramic brakes, carbon fiber rimms, simply suggests that it is just a marketing scheme and status symbol. Really one can tune their Merc to better specs and not need A..fucking M..fucking..G

[kakerumbler]

lol did you actually just say that? your saying AMG are shit?

[JFAR08]

muscle cars are jokes in order to get them to go fast you have to add parts

[Makron5]

The sound though of most of them tends to be amazing and it can be fun to drive them on a circuit.

[rjc95]

haha. looks like stig's into porn music.. xD

[LookOUTslayerPS3]

lol

[1066productions]

it cuts of mid sentance. apart from that it was pretty good

[0oziyado0]

nice music Stig

[SourGrey]

hahah yea

[ashec]

i fort he said his had some emos

[cookiehead2]

It looks to me like it needs wider wheels and better tires. It's a Mercedes, so it's going to be heavy. There's nothing you can do about that, but I think it needs a 315 series tire in the back at least.

[PUcmw11]

and a tighter suspension...but hey...its a luxury sedan...its not meant to have it...for that much you can buy a porshe! lol

[padams19]

please, re-encode the video. thanks.

[vroomer1]

Waaa....Spiiinnn!!!!

[matsui2001]

Jerremy Clarkson is ignorant wanker, I am pleased I dont buy a TV licence!!!

[aussieeagle2512]

Usless power lol. Supercharged V8 would be slightly better.

[fivedinners]

what a hooligan lol

[CANHEADS]

now, we have had literally some emails!

big lol

[bja311]

haha yes!

[PanzerN9Ne]

god they hate the Germans with a passion, don't blame them though.

Mercedes makes great cars

[bikersrule07]

yeah great cars till somthing goes wrong with them ..... then you might as well scrap them.

[skimten80]

stfu buddy; nobody cares.

[lichay123]

wow, u hate colombians...

why?

and im seriouse !

don't tell me some shit like "'cuz thier stupid"

or "gay"... im seriously wanna know why u

hate them...

[112namrepus]

I'm not even from Columbia or live there. I have NEVER been there!

[Usethebanana]

Why? Are you jaleous because they have a brain and you don't? Are you going to cut of their male genitals as well? (I suppose you don't have a dick either)

[112namrepus]

"jaleous " Talk about no brain in your head! LMAO! stupid.

[112namrepus]

LMAO! You little prick! I don't even live on Columbia anymore!

The government would not bail out the crack farms so I have to work at a wankin' American McDonald.

[liftedview]

BMW & AUDI are better :P

[521scotty125]

nissan mitsubishi and holden

[rulermy3]

[deora2dude]

[Mario4Italy]

[ZCP1364]

[KingofTheMountain900]

Lol there's even a newer CL now...

[LittleBigEll]

great! But this was a while ago . . .

Like 3 years ago.

but still a grat show and the stig is a legend

[steeeven1]

yeah you can usually tell roughly when it was by the registration plate. 04 is somewhere between march-september 2004

[antnt]

stig is my hero!!!

[metrobound]

gotta love that 80's porn music the stig was listening to haha

[Transam941]
