[ThePolicewillprotect]

LH Miachel he can do that!

[nyancatrainbow97]

I am going to definitatly be the first buyer of this car though i live in canada.......

[1doesntlikeapplepie]

CAR & DRIVER, very jealous

[gibsonfan11]

Jesus??

[xavierlert]

Maybach Exelero plz!

[4685741223]

car is ugly

[TheRedfire18]

c1000 is a supermarket branch in my country :P

[TheAntman]

any relations to mercedes' c111 concept at all?

[wilsontt88]

17 years later, and it's still cool.

[Dukenhimer34258021]

Excuse me 0:58

[Dukenhimer34258021]

Start up in 0:59

[jakshepard]

this car was owned by a wealthy Arab guy 3:24, technically, this is like the only model of this you'll ever see, because he paid millions for it.

[Bagadaboats]

during the test drive kinda sounds like an electric car or a hybrid

[Ne0nLiteZ]

@Bagadaboats not at all...

[SuperSedans]

@Bagadaboats noisy gearbox

[TradingCarz]

looks very uncomfortable

[TradingCarz]

wow the speedometer goes to 400! 

[fpshooterful]

man this is a very low car

[milstein91]

i own one of those they were made 2 actually

[OMFGitsJon]

@milstein91 youre the biggest liar i know

[bigM10231]

why isnt it in any racing games?!!!

[caseguit]

Woww! really a nice road trip in this Lotec 1000 is a real monster this car, you must bring a large circuit, it does not want it to cool !!!!!!!!!!!

[ZingHighFive]

this car is incredible!

[BigBlocks4BigBoys]

he should be double-clutching that bad boy, that un-synchronized tranny is a b!t€h to operate

[mariogetafe17]

sounds like a plane!

[unimiddleschool]

too weird id kinda be imbarest 2 drive that, im mean with all the attention...

[CanoeAmerica]

Does the driver even know what he's doing? He probably had the car up to 5,000 rpm before shifting...he probably could've skipped all the way from first gear to fifth or sixth with that amount of rotations, yet judging from the fact that the car shook a lot after he shifted once, he probably took so long riding the clutch that it dropped down to under 2,000! This dude should give his car to somebody who knows how to drive it...

[t3super60W]

Wow what an incredible and rare car, I can't believe you stumbled upon this! I used to Drool over this when I was younger... 

[MeghsWorld]

Holy shit, it's like an inflatable playhouse in there

[TALLboi870]

Mercedes Benz CLK-GTR vs. This car

[PulletSurprise]

@TALLboi870

I'll take the one that parts can still be made for by the people who made the car to begin with.

[czarandmaeve]

fuckin wow......

[alexthomsonuk]

kyle isnt allowed to drive this one ;)

[pringlescan81]

not gonna lie i wish you would've played the batman theme song during the test drive

[12345678993879]

retards start the car and drive it! >:(

[21e55d09]

kyle ...

why wont you do fucking bugatti

[CarbineGuy]

If people saw this on the roads in 1995, they probably thought the aliens were invading.

[Perfect5Recurve]

@saabkyle04 if this car is RHD, why is the shifter on the drivers right hand side instead of centre-mounted like all cars?



[veedabestchef]

cant ride that car in my town. we got crappy roads..lol

[veedabestchef]

beast

[floridaproductions]

Race car engine on a body . Probably isn't street legal . The whole thing looks like a killer go kart . I'll take the 2012 coupe Mercedes AMG sport with the 600 hp and the swing doors any day over this piece of junk !

[therearefreasamongus]

@floridaproductions Haha, keep dreaming.

[maddhatter4411]

Awsome ride. Would be a good car to pu some p _ _ _ with lol....

[HondaGoProHD]

sounds like a go kart.

[bmlotkowski]

looks wicked

[corvettefunstudios]

whats the name of the song at 5:08?

[maxxbad17]

How come its RHD?

[MegaHolymoly]

Ugly, but sounds nice, very akward car.

[Bagadaboats]

5:09 what os that song? i hear it all the time in auto shows videos

[dreez28]

The sounds this car makes are as visceral as any race car I've ever heard. That rear diff just whining away. I wonder what that rattling noise is though?

[yamahonkawazuki]

@dreez28 crosscut gearing. made for racing transmissions. they are not quiet, but damn near bulletproof. ive used gearing liek this when building motorcycle gear clusters

[scottyrevolution]

love your video' keep up the good work

[japster1113]

how do you pronounce the name? i read it as "low-tech" but that sound bad.. :p

[WeBashPeople]

Zonda's papa

[knightrider1545]

Thats sure some very small leg room. It also has a cool sounding of an electric vehicle, even though it boasts a 1000 hp engine.

[desertfox2020]

@knightrider1545 its the twin turbochargers, they almost overpower the roar of the engine which is awesome IMO

[blitzkriegsta]

I wish my car sounded like that when i started it.... :(

[desertfox2020]

@blitzkriegsta My truck sounds similar... obviously the starter isn't as fast and loud but the roar of the engine is very close

[BullyScholarshipWii]

It would be hilarious to see someone try to drive this into a driveway...

[yungkidnf]

only thing I'm curious about is how it ended up n Concorde NC

[coddude196]

268mph in a car that weighs less then a mazda miata? no thanks haha

[4223037]

To think that this 16 year old car can spank most of today's super exotic cars.

[PA16803]

A motorcycle would be more practicle

[yungkidnf]

@PA16803 an less unique

[Paul67558]

sorry for bad english

[Paul67558]

buggatti s dad!



[leebo130]

@Paul67558 well its not considering this is not a bugatti and this is powered by a merc engine and the veyron is powered by VW

[0TheLostArtist0]

@Mousebowen

And I know there was more than one F1 just using it as an example of the type of vehicle this is.

[0TheLostArtist0]

@Mousebowen

Actually I have. But this is a interior from 1995 interior in a 1 of 1 race car ie: mcclaren f1. Expecting way too much. Speaking of I'm pretty sure this car and an F1 would bring more money together than your car list, horrible interiors and all. Just saying......

[shananagans5]

Were yall playing footsie on this ride? lol Not sure I would like a passenger that close to the pedals. 

[shananagans5]

Amazing project. Thx. Love your reviews.

[0TheLostArtist0]

Would've loved to have seen a review of that COPO Camaro on the rack.

[macDaddy1118]

Damn now i gotta go change my underwear

[GrandpaChink]

@disengage jam what do you mean by "took off" it's a super car not a mass produce car.

[MOUSEBOWEN]

the outside is outstanding.amazing.the inside is horri horri horrible..

[0TheLostArtist0]

@MOUSEBOWEN Dude, it's from 1995.....

[MOUSEBOWEN]

@0TheLostArtist0 O really well it the interior looks like 1955.have you see the interior of a 1995 ferrarri 355f or 1995 ferrari 456GT??or 1995 Lamborghini Diablo interior. .I guess you haven't oh well its a huge difference just saying.

[shootr04]

Holy f*** what a car!

[simobgbgbg]

dear fucking santa...

[extremepsychogamer]

@simobgbgbg

Don't even bother with that dear santa bullshit, if he can even get one, he won't give it to you, he'll keep it for himself

[markhenderson123]

I love NC! You need to come up to Asheville and do some videos up here!

[Iowaman321]

I had to pick my jaw off of the floor after i heard the price.

[agroni25]

Push it pussy .

[mrceleb2006]

SaabKyle04 forgot to honk the horn on this ultra-fast beast.

[caudice]

saw this car across the country in SF bay area when it was getting worked on at the shop i go to

[remelsheikh]

Looks like after 150mph, its going to fly off into space or something. Is this car legal. Great review.

[ScoobyBaseball]

@remelsheikh kmh, not mph. 150kmh.

[tmashcars]

that car is amazing! great video!

[JedemPoKucama]

top speed is 268mph(431kmh) on the speedometer, top speed is 400kmh o.O

[ChickPoacher]

Mercedes-Benz + Pagani = Lotec C1000

[Willybig7]

more like UFO for me

[ggdeibiza]

Man, Top Gear should pit this against the McLaren F1, Ferrari FXX and Bugatti Veyron - that would be fucking EPIC!

[6speeddakota]

is the transmission a true non syncro, or is it a dogbox?

[SuperMesofly]

Looks nothing like a 1995 car.

[sheepborg]

@SuperMesofly I would have to disagree. It really does scream the 90s custom one off supercar styling that was prevalent at the time. With excessive curves but still a way to fit lots of angles into it. And the inside of it too is very 90s supercar. Still a cool car though.

[jason11582623]

ugly car

[BASSISTPROMUSIC]

woa this is the best vido of this channel

[newman1183]

damn thats ugly.

[mrluvus07]

lotec, not hitec, lol. holy motyher doorsill, lol

[mrluvus07]

lotec, not hitec, lol.

[miguenzo]

RHD! Awesome!

[Bryanpowman]

what was the green car in the showroom???

[VARUNCOUTINHO]

@Bryanpowman Noble M400

[BassWhiz92]

Sounds MEEEEAAAAN!!!

[hidden104]

at 00:24 is that the rev limiter lol?



[Bagadaboats]

its the '90s cars that are the awesome ones

[bartolinie]

@saabkyle04 yo man, whatever you do, don't take this video of the internet LOVE IT, like all of your videos in fact

[TheNickinman]

how much



[G0Far]

@TheNickinman $3,400,000

[TheJigglepony]

The driver clearly does not know how to properly drive a manual. He said "i keep forgetting what gear i'm in." Idc that it's a 1000 horsepower super machine. I could drive better than that and I'm only 15.

[Mastermind12358]

@TheJigglepony

yeah maby in need for speed

[tigertic1]

@TheJigglepony Of course you do, just like people that no nothing about economics claim to be able to fix the economy in a day if they had the chance...

[BrynnSings]

This car needs to be in a dlc pack for Forza Motorsport 4!

[Oxyquatzal7]

coasting nicely at...3800 rpm!??!

[Oxyquatzal7]

car and driver sent me here, i now subscribe

[macbookpro57]

that thing is like a shuttle

[sheepborg]

Currently sitting at that dealership, about 45 minutes from my house.

[hawaiianboi175]

that car is a BEAST!!!!!!

[upiluften]

Scratch that, sounds more like the Autopia cars.

[upiluften]

Sounds like a Cessna 172.

[tocaracer06]

Faster than Bugatti and McLaren before they made their fast cars

[ahr444]

1its really ugly 2it sounds like it will breaak any second

[chanceiw5]

sounds like it is gonna fall apart

[Shevabestfan]

Too close for comfort in there :)

[sebasf430]

Did this car grabbed a lot of attention?

[disengagejam]

honestly this car is a piece of shit ... the looks are very subjective (i think its hideous) and the interior looks about as nice as a Chevy Cavalier lol

no wonder it never took off !!!

[edge160]

1995? Wow! This thing looks like something 100 years from now.

[Profedeah]

looks like it's ready for take off

[I2oBB]

Looks just like a pagani.

[I3lackl3ear]

because its german!

[yungkidnf]

@I2oBB IT DOES

[Cuseball121]

You have to crawl into the fucking seat. How dumb.

[HiHo44]

I read about your videos in Car & Driver and had to check them out. 5 stars, obviously a labor of love. Keep up the good work!

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

Read about you in Car & Driver, and they were right, your videos are pure awesome man!

[saabkyle04]

@TheCarlsonsRaiders Hey man thanks a lot!!  Hope you enjoy all the other ones, including the new Aventador coming soon! =)

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

@saabkyle04 Your doing what you love, hooking car fanatics like myself up with info and inside looks into amazing or just plain odd cars and trucks, and your getting paid for it all, not to shabby bro. Keep up the good work.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@saabkyle04 i agree with what he said. 1000%, if hte pharmacy gig ever falls through, youve got car and driver, plus youtube. so kyle will never be hurting for money methinks. you may have that lamborghini you were drooling over, ( you and sales guy went to a fast food drive through in it) sooner than you think. although your choice in cars, american RWD v8's and mien are alike lol.

[TripleZ89]

@TheCarlsonsRaiders DUDE I was just reading that too on the bus, and had to jump here to see for myself! :P

[HKST51R]

That clutch rattle sounds like hell! AWESOME!

[caca702]

im buying that car tomorrow =)

[Shadowboost]

All I can say is, getting replacement parts must seriously suck

[farhat2tube]

U could stab someone with those doors! Lol the passenger can play footsie with the driver

[FH99]

I'm sure everybody that you went by during the test drive, was probably wondering what in the world was that? That is about as close to a street legal race car as you can get.

[floiran]

In 1995 I had a calendar of exotic cars, the lotec was April, how do u get access to such amazing cars? I'm so jealous, ur reviews are great by the way

[TopRated123]

Ugly

[Gustavofbn]

Congratulations for yours 1000 videos ;D

[Gadmeer]

Nice car so don't treat it like a rat bag

[jbrowne97]

i live near here and i see on the website that it's still there so i might go and check it out. did it ride rough on the test drive?

[503TD]

damn u guy's feet are close as fuck

[MrSunstar81]

so the newest 911 can beat this car.

[PatricioGtrz]

This would be a nice car for back to the future.

[FriendsPride]

sounds like a Pakistani rikshaw from inside. lol

[surethang27]

was it stalling? And did the transmission have trouble shifting? And I think that car is broken

[ebradahusla]

@surethang27 It is an unsynchronized transmission. Unless you do a perfect shift every time, you are pretty much screwed and you'll hate driving.

[macbookair14]

Wow.

[Michaelslayer1]

the interior is poorly made

[DannyLrides]

my fat ass wouldnt fit in this car lol

[XxBakerxX72]

I sort of like the design. But the interior sucks! But that doesnt matter, it wasnt meant to be pretty. Just fast.

[travisp11]

Please put this car in the next Forza!!

[saabkyle04]

@TheStampedOctagon Hey thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it! From what I understood, it was sold at barrett jackson several years ago to the present owner, he is the principle of lamborghini carolinas in greensboro, nc they actually still have it but have since moved it to the greensboro location. That's all I really know about the recent transactions, hope that helps!

[sheepborg]

@saabkyle04 Yeah it is still there, i drive by there every once and a while

[TPSlickFro]

goood that thing is ugly.... in my opinion atleast

[TechThem22]

bat shit insane. as close as we'll get to a Sauber C9 or C11

[mikeyp1234567891]

how many horses

[xRAMxDOD]

@mikeyp1234567891 1000 hp, same as a bugatti veyron :)

[unit666industries]

where can i put my groceries ?

[roydied15]

congrats on your feature in this months C&D mag! i wouldnt be here if it wasnt for them!

[saabkyle04]

@roydied15 Thanks a lot!! I was so excited about that coming out haha. Hope you enjoy the myriad of other content I have on here, feel free to check out the playlists sometime!

~Kyle

[perrythekiller]

@saabkyle04 hey uh i might be crazy but that alternator was not spinning @2:25

[RWDNismoFan]

amazing car !

[gregoomen]

So does C from the C1000 mean that its a c-class ???
