CLK63 AMG Black Series Dyno Run

[daZzleV]

ugly rims :(

[MrMnMade]

"Dont you have to put that thing in dyno mode?"

WTF has technology come too...

[818mrAlkash]

Lol its so fuckin loud he covers his ears at 1:15

[rupp023]

ohh i jizzed in my pants at 1:16

[mattnota]

i just came in my pants

[Dakay1337]

This ist the best performance and quality from Mercedes, one real reason to buy no bmw :D

[huze5]

I love how at 1:20 it shifts that strap or pipe or something on the far right.

[ead1017]

seems like more power could be measured if more cooling was provided. As far as i can tell that one relatively small fan would not provide the airflow that traveling at 150 mph would provide.

[MachVDan]

@ead1017 The fans are there for cooling the car during the dyno run. The car temp stayed at normal during and after the run. You don't need more fans than that, and more fans would not make more horsepower.

[pino110008]

@MachVDan And there is where your wrong. Cooler air = more oxygen = more hp.

[MachVDan]

@pino110008 Um...fans don't cool air. They just move it around.

[SpecialKLSX]

@pino110008 To a point. This being most true if it's cooler air being fed into the intake. Cool air hitting the engine and radiator will only benefit the engine if it's fully warmed up to the point that the thermostat has opened up and the fluid in the block, and radiator is so hot that the thermostat will not close even if the temps of the fluid drop 10* or more.

[PagzNZ]

@pino110008

Similar airflow to what would be generated at wheel speed would give more accurate results. In most cases as water temp rises the ecu will retard timing and reduce HP,while water temp may stay consistant on the dash the sampling rates could be much faster for the fuel/timing and it may take into account the massive rush of heat generated on a dyno pull.

[bmstyle]

@pino110008 actually cooler air = denser air = more oxygen particles per volume of air = more hp....

[nyn199a]

This is where Chuck Norris puts his nails (where the wheel's spin) for a Manicure

[pilotswife01]

An amazing machine.......trashed with a aftermarket rear wing.

[TheMegaYUtub]

stop this "electric car" nonsense or cars like this MB are history

[AllAboutEthics]

is that driver relaxing or closing his ear once the V8 unleashes his muscle hahah

[MachVDan]

@AllAboutEthics Covering his ears.  It's LOUD.

[TheEdgaroth]

German cars are too good because Germans are all about engineering. Actual Fact.

[therealjohnio]

This car is the balls.

[krocialblack]

Mercs may be German, but deep down theres an American hidden inside of it just waiting to leap out and scream.

[Skyhighblu]

oh yeaaa, i thought i was into the m6 but i think.. this wins.

[454canadian]

NOW THATS A V8 BOY!!! DIRTYYYYY

[xAP24]

I realize this is an old video but I was wondering if you had a baseline before the mods?

[miroslav1o1]

center of the gravity is where suppoused to be at the back,you can see that at the point when he lifts off , heavy diff and light above it , it is close to perfect...

[RacerSkip]

nice car, and I say it again, there is nothing better than a german car :)

[No1TurdBurglar]

This is the only thing that makes me try in school, and no that's not just me saying this for the hell of it. I live for cars and they will always be first in my life...

[adamtt1987]

1:02 <3

[DJStereoTypical]

One sexy motor

[FalconKing60]

i love all cars muscle imports ferraris hondas all of them I never hate or talk shit about them uhgggg one day i will have a supercar but my 1998 mustang does its job 

[buttnut1080]

Why ruin the coolest Mercedes ever made with that terrible wing?

[tjwakaa]

@buttnut1080

Its funny you say that because Mercedes uses a similar spoiler on their DTM CLK models.

I say similar because it has that symbol on the side which gives me the impression that its aftermarket and not stock.

[iluvrnb1]

yea that does sound sik. also love the look.

[chiropractic47]

Looking at the screen after the dyno run shows rear wheel horsepower...this car puts out approx. 500 hp at the crank. Nice run.

[vd624]

Mustang no dont see it.

[comptongameLA]

it's so loud that even the driver is holding his ears

[Damage2042]

where do i get one of these spoilers?-thanks

[MachVDan]

@Damage2042 Sorry, I don't know.

[Ueberdoziz]

at 1:06 it begins to ROAR... and i came

[24Slexani]

clk 63 pumps out 520 HP, here atleast in europe

[MachVDan]

@24Slexani Here in the US, this car was rated a 500 hp at the engine.

[24Slexani]

@MachVDan stock?

[MachVDan]

@24Slexani No. Mods are in the text above.

[TomescuCalin]

@24Slexani when the car in on dyno .. always shows less of it's power ! ! ///AMG power !

[TomescuCalin]

@24Slexani when the car is on dyno .. shows how many hp are at the wheel , not at the engine .. that's why are only 439

[MondoBongoz]

hey fellaz. what's the purpose of a dyno run for a car? I would appreciate some insight.

[MachVDan]

@MondoBongoz It's simply a way of measuring the horsepower and torque the car puts out.  Usually we use it to figure out how much power we have added by modifying the car. That is, we'll do a dyno run before and after changing something. Some people just want to know how much power their car makes, modified or not.

[MondoBongoz]

@MachVDan Thank you very much. That makes a lot of sense.

[XXRaInYtHuNdErXX]

Lovely sounding V8.

[escort2dr]

the suspension didnt budge more than an inch of squat lol must be a sporty ride around town

[joshman458]

is that guy covering his ears when the car gets really loud ? i'd be loving the sound of it, music to my ears !

[red33m23]

Rear spoiler..just spoils everything. It looks like a Civic now

[Mercman97]

WAUUUW LOOKS LIKE DTM CAR NICE!

[NekoOfficial]

the rear spoiler is terrible...

[MrTheAni]

@NekoOfficial It ruins the classy aspect of a Merc.

[ARCHIE2480]

he made the car look like a honda why mess it up 

[Shicomm]

Just 440 ? On low octane fuel i may hope...

Normally it should pump out 500 horses with ease...

[MachVDan]

@Shicomm This measurement is AT THE WHEELS, not at the engine. A chassis dyno will read a lower number than an engine dyno.

[Shicomm]

@MachVDan Totally forgot about that , thanks for the response :)

Quite amazing that there is so much difference between power from the engine and

power at the wheels !

[MrGrandDragon]

How come your CLK63 black looks different to the one in Topgear?

The rear spoiler is different...and I think the arches are not as flared

[MachVDan]

@MrGrandDragon The spoiler is custom. The car belongs to a customer.

[howtokillaninja]

@MrGrandDragon i think the better question is why would you even put a spoiler on that car.

[oOoironhideoOo]

440HP at the wheela, thats quite a beast ..

[TurbonegroIXMR]

Beautiful machine you have there. What kind of camera was used to record this? Been trying to find something high quality for a while now to record my shennanigans as well.

[MachVDan]

@TurbonegroIXMR This one was done using a Panasonic DMC-TZ5 digital point-and-shoot camera. Most of our more recent vids are shot on a Canon 5D-Mk II, though.

[AlexanderStahl92]

GERMAN POWER !!!!!!!!

[scribklu]

ARe there any pictures of the car? Which kind of Hood does it have?

[MachVDan]

@scribklu It's got a carbon fiber hood. I have some pics, but can't seem to hotlink them here.

[bermudarocks]

I own one of these cars and have never heard of a CF hood. Where did you get it from?

[MachVDan]

@bermudarocks It was a one-off created for the SEMA show. I cannot get another. Sorry.

[jodethetoad76]

vroom

[TomescuCalin]

AMG power forever !!!!

[ROCKSTAR123458]

what a sound !

[b3uch3l111]

deutsches auto !!! :D

[ClaritySWE]

On a second look, should'nt it have 507hp and not the 440?

[MachVDan]

The power is at the WHEELS, not at the engine. And it is in horsepower, not kilowatts.

[allodesousa]

:D

yep

[ClaritySWE]

I suppose the power is in KW? Nice vid btw, what an awsome machine.

[derdeutsche94]

1:07 WOOAAH AWESOME !!!!

[ilandman4evr]

The guy in the car puts his hands over his ears during the pull.That thing must sound heavenly load if you need ear plugs with your foot to the floor.Gotta love then AMG's Blacks.

[eshea5050]

how come i dont ear any shifting, i forget the name but it must be one of those

[MachVDan]

@eshea5050 The car has a seven-speed automatic gearbox that Mercedes calls "G-Tronic."

[dopodepo]

the gearbox was made by AMG, not Mercedes-Benz

[eraent]

Thats like saying a gearbox is made by M instead of BMW...don't try to sound like a smart ass.

[JacksonMooresExotics]

This is one hell of a machine. I love it in black with tinted tail light. The spoiler and roll cage give it that real race effect even though it is most probably a full on race car.

[ctsprague]

hear the guy in the beginning 'do you have to put it in dyno mode'...lol

[MachVDan]

I'm not sure why you find that funny, but many (most?) current Mercedes models will NOT run correctly on the dyno unless you convince them to be in a special "rig test" mode where traction control and other electronic nannies are completely disabled.

[teamsleepnine]

big power=need stiffer chasis,safety reason(rollcage)

bigpower=need downforce(spoiler)

i assume this is serious track car!!!

[MachVDan]

@teamsleepnine Yep.

[teamsleepnine]

i see roll cage!!!

[MachVDan]

Good eye. It's wrapped in leather, too.

[Baird56]

that is my favourite merc available, very nice

[wolveriner33]

soft euro trash...

[supercoder2006]

You seriously don't know what you are looking at. Have you read about this car?

[player1vladimir]

simply amazing

[vietstudmuffin]

that's the most sickest benz i've ever heard!

[28power68]

Way to ruin a damn nice car with that f...in ugly spoiler :(

[tomparko1]

i agree with the spoiler

it dunt make the car look bad, it just isnt the nicest one

however, something like a spoiler cant change that car to a bad car from pure class!

[STiStein]

Nice sounding exhaust when you let off. 1:20
