Top Gear: Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG [Black Edition]

[Rodger599]

Did anyone else notice that it isn't black!

[Skyhighblu]

i love my dad's 55 amg but i wanna play with this one :(

[tony32682]

sic as fuck! wow

[ratopreto28]

Hey now listen: When was the last time you just got up and went for a drive? Not to anywhere, not for anything – just for a drive? … This is brilliant. No phone. No kids. No interruptions. It’s just me, in my little metal shell. Time to think. Time to work stuff out. Small wonder crabs are so wise… And this really is an ideal car for when it’s four in the morning and you’ve got the whole 400,000-mile British road network all to yourself.

[joeybraveheart]

mom : dear , dinner is ready !

kid : 8 : 04 minutes and ill be there!!

[rupp023]

[rupp023]

[Henkebruhn]

[whatacrank]

arrrrrr finally found the one with the good music !

[greenfunk]

jeremy clarkson seems to like Mercedes a lot, he changed his ferrari f355 to a SL 55 AMG, then he got this CLK and he keeps raving bout the SLS.

[silverblackss]

@greenfunk He often declared that he is a Mercedes fan. And I don't blame him, I am one too.

[TheMikeEustis]

hands down best looking & sounding car, ever. classy with a touch of race, I love it

[AeitotheK]

great video and awesome car! gives me the shivers!

[kristinnerlingsson]

priceless face at 4:12 hahah

[W4TCH4W]

Lol he left the traction control on look at 4:35... :D

[vetb882]

I just drove an E55 today and by God's grace, I will be picking it up next week. Wish me luck. Finally, after 50 years, my dream car. :-)

[Skyhighblu]

my dad's got this black on black!

[adnanalagic]

I get tears in my eyes every time a hear a great powerful engine rev up.

[swatsticker]

@adnanalagic *hugs!

[adnanalagic]

[G0ML3]

[KrstanovicAlen]

[ShaqEatsAirplane]

[joeybraveheart]

[marshknute]

[littleAZN248]

This is the one topgear episode I will never get sick of watching over and over again.

[TWBR88]

PLEASE Tell me who the song is by at 6:08 (piano bit)

[JackMacyntire]

@TWBR88 Cinematic Orchestra - To Build A Home

[BSAcamper2009]

This is probably my favorite Top Gear review of all time. It doesn't go crazy about the details of a car's specsheet performance, or a nitpicky comparison between world class cars. Instead, it focuses on the sheer joy and excitement we get from driving wonderful cars, which is motoring is all about.

[MercC23k]

@BSAcamper2009 Well put sir, well put.

[BSAcamper2009]

[87sponsor]

Jeremys nicest video!

Mest regards The Emperor.

[cruhg]

it also says in the note from mercedes benz if you have an erection lasting more than 4 hours you should stop driving and seek immediate medical assistance

[bondita]

@cruhg awesome !!! tottally awesome !!!

[MCollector365]

This review is epic.

[ofteninjured]

My friends dad just got one... i havnt left there house in like a week

[hhittini]

The 16 dislikes are for Tida owners :P

[blazeofthepla]

if ghost rider had a car, it would sound like that

[bond1011]

The last time i went for a drive was about a year ago. I was out with a friend in my C4 ZR1 and i almost hit the top speed on a straight near where i live! God that was a great night

[clicktotouch]

anybody, the song starting at 0:57? would be great, thanks!

[buddhaberge]

which season is this? does anybody know?

[Kkempinski]

@buddhaberge season 11, episode 2

[CrusherGER]

another amazing review from clarkson

[gavquinn]

And driving it slowly, or on tickover it makes the most gorgeous loud, bass-like throb, like:

"gluh gluh gluh gluh gluh gluh"

It's amazing.

[ansolfa]

He was so in love with the black.... that he bought one!

After a Ferrari 360 a SL 55 AMG an Aston Martin for his wife... and some others amazing cars he had also this one

[gavquinn]

@ansolfa He still has it!

[07591366111]

Jeremy Clarkson, I Love You.

[fopperer]

mercedes is german, so why do they call it "the black"?

use more of your language, germans!

[Cathmor22]

@fopperer "schwarz" better than "The Black ?

[fopperer]

@Cathmor22 yes, because its german for a german car. sounds correct

[BISMARCK875]

yeah try in change the oil or just do some work on it yourself is a car for really dumb people... like removing a nuclear power plant to one place to another dumb car!!!!!to expensive and the kick !!!only a authorize dealer from mercedes benz should work on it!!!fuck off!!

[stockinggirllover2]

CALL ME 1-718-998-9088 THANKS

[stockinggirllover2]

WHERE CAN I GET ONE FOR FREE I AINT KIDDIN

[MCPLUSTR]

Get far away from home ......... Fast!

[crashinator1001]

thats the car he has today

[EddieLolz3r]

@crashinator1001 Only its black

[Wongie2009]

I wonder where abouts in Wales does that spectacular open road lie..

[jksee97]

Clarkson owns one of these .

[alexthomsonuk]

it is a great car, lucky enough to have driven one... and in response to the mercedes' letter, yes it can get dangerous, but only in the wrong hands. amazing piece of machinery this thing, well done.

[gavquinn]

@alexthomsonuk We had one here for a few months, it was mad even on dry roads. The chassis, suspension were so stiff, and kind of unevenness and it slid. Mental, could've been worked on more, but then would prob cost more. Was an awful thing to use daily, but had a huge presence/character. Memorable, exciting.

[tonyt0ny]

I totally LOVE the kompressor sound. --> 0:48 especially in the SLR Mclaren

[appelTaartish]

@tonyt0ny kompressor?

It is a natural aspired engine.

[DJDrOWNZ]

@appelTaartish it means supercharger actually, compressor (supercharger) = kompressor in the unofficial mercedes term

[gavquinn]

@DJDrOWNZ Kompressor is actually German language. It means compressor. Supercharging is any kind of forced induction, including turbo. Supercharger is term people use for compressor.

[DJDrOWNZ]

@gavquinn yeah i thought kompressor means compressor in german lol, but when i looked it up it said it was an unofficial term :/. and yeah i know its all forms of aspiration :P

[gavquinn]

@gavquinn Haha, well it does mean kompressor/compressor. But I guess one could say that it's "their term"!

[DJDrOWNZ]

@appelTaartish oh actually sorry i see what you mean now that this one doesn't have a 'kompressor'

[Jean793]

@tonyt0ny This car has an aspirated engine, no kompressor!!

[messi35HU]

ich bin so stolz auf unsere deutschen autos

[TheCarguy974]

0:22 London looks so beautiful.

[TheCarguy974]

Remember how there was a campaign to Clarkson PM of the UK. What if the house in London they used at 0:36 was 10 Downing Street.

[levlevi]

I do it all the time, in my Alfa Romeo .

[orfaras]

the song is mogwai - i know you are, but what am I. my pleasure :)

[nlcphore]

My-shit-is-Benzzzzz

Oh yeah, the music's awesome :-)

[TheCarguy974]

Nothing like having the streets of London to yourself when your behind the wheel of Mercedes, Jag, Audi, BMW, Porsche, Land Rover, or Ferrari.

[tony32682]

awesome

[Levinae8620v]

top gear always have excelent, for dont say the best review of all.. It turns the mercedes cars, special like they are, when we are talking about the top mercedes cars..

unbeliveble car...

[Levinae8620v]

what a fuck amazing car!!!

[3XICS]

Stupid, stupid, stupid car ! :))=))

[superstan121]

its a black edition but why isnt it black?

[PS3CRAZY96]

@superstan121 Because this one is silver, Jeremys own CLK Black is black

[superstan121]

@PS3CRAZY96 yeah but whats the point of calling a car black and making it available in silver it just dosent make sense

[PS3CRAZY96]

@superstan121 Just because its called the BLACK series doesnt mean it has to be black in colour, all the Black is is just a tuned AMG with weight reduction, bucket seats and changed body parts for the exterior.

[superstan121]

@PS3CRAZY96 but think about it , it makes more sense if the car is black

[PS3CRAZY96]

@superstan121 Yes, i know what you mean but its just called black it doesnt mean it has to be black okay!? its just a limited edition AMG CLK now dont bother replying.

[superstan121]

@PS3CRAZY96 i replied. just calm down im just giving y opinion

[MrButtinski]

They got the sound right.

[enzo360x]

In fact Jeremy liked so much the Merc, that he actually bought one! Maybe he needs one to forget his problems, ocasionally.

[TheCarguy974]

@enzo360x The car in this review is his actual car.

[NoGoodJim]

@TheCarguy974 I thought it was a black one? He used it in one of Season 17's episodes the one when they tested a Lotus baby-F1 car.

[seanutbrittle22]

what is the song that starts at 6:40? i must know...its beautiful

[aidanja23]

[shobin05]

15 people arent human beings...0:07

[TeamAlecAmerica]

wish there were roads like that in the US...

[ophiruchus]

I want the song that played at the end... sounds like great driving music

[NYhercules]

I don't like how Jeremy favors certain brands and has a complete close mind regarding some others.

[Stunr99]

Those fenders Give me a hard on...lol

[crazcarlove82]

@Stunr99 me too lol -_____-

[bicepius]

lol :)

[LitheApo]

Dat Sound!

[ellisfreedman]

One of top gear's best reviews. For once they don't review a car based on numbers and stats. Instead, they review a car how it should be done - reviewing it in a way that explains to us how big a smile it puts on your face. Not because it goes 0-60 .3 seconds quicker then its competitors. That's why I hate the GTR and the culture surrounding it as they only care about numbers and that the car is faster than this CLK when in reality it's much more boring to drive compared to this beast.

[artujketube]

i usually wake up and go for a drive in my MB C 180 AMG :p i love it :p

[EVERLIVERPOOL]

im a muscle car fan but i think this car is brilliant ! german muscle ftw!

[ChillMood11]

To think this bad boy is coming with a 6.2 liter v8 could have sworn germans made fun of americans for that type of displacement from a v8. I find it funny how merc fans diss america and come back and slap an engine thats in a camaro. You merc fans make my day lol.

[MrLordinblack]

What the hell is the name of the song at 6:15 ?!?! It's soo epic...

[crazysunami]

@EVERLIVERPOOL  cb my own opinion rite myob la cunt

[EVERLIVERPOOL]

@chrisluvjh what car is good?

[miroslav1o1]

the soul,it does not exist,chemical reaction of the brains,yes...

[badman2504]

I like just going for a drive in the early hours, it is calming, just cruising the midnight streets, speaking of which, I'm taking the bike out tonight to do exactly this

[dukeboyII]

best top gaer bid ever

[guitarmafia20]

@fkwk2y your car has nazi features !

[MrLordinblack]

@fkwk2y You should rethink this statement...

[ihatethisplace999]

@fkwk2y your a nazi, muhfucker

[anjoLas]

shit on Mustang crap and Corvette´s and etc´s cause they can have power but dunnot have CONTROL ! North-american´s LAMES !

[neerredd]

@anjoLas i beg to differ, because the corvette zr1 posted teh second fastest lap at the nurburgring, and whats the fun, when a car does all the work for you? i will however agree with you on mustangs, those are pieces of shit!

[TheFastestSrbin]

Amazing car!

[Jelmerize]

I watched te part from 6:40 till the end over and over. with that song behind it, the awesome camera effects and than that car... That just shows what a beatifull car it is!

[MrLordinblack]

@Jelmerize Do you know the name of the song?!

[df446]

The aspect ratio is all fucked up.

[bradybrave001]

11 people are gay

[TheOtherNEO]

Long time since I have gone out for a night drive. It may be due to most roads being plastered with cameras these days. On a night drive one doesn't want to think about speed limits, even though going above the limit rarely happens on dark country roads.

[marshknute]

I love his smile at 4:13

[DjRjSolarStar]

Hehe, hell yea! Clarkson is getting into the spirit. I go on cruises like that at 2AM weekly. Nothing beats having the city to yourself.

[imran1985iqbal]

@DjRjSolarStar . he's actually got one

[bigjosh36]

@DjRjSolarStar i fuckin love doing that! so soothing

[2608adrian]

[mbenzcars]

[Bolzan12]

[BenRollings2]

[thunderboard2010]

Im a big M3 fan, but thing is total different! Black series is name, however that SL Black series is bullshit!

[Lawson320]

My favorite car ever.

[bojovick18]

what is the name of the song at 6:40???

[PS3CRAZY96]

@bojovick18 Giorni Dispari by Ludivico Einaudi

[bojovick18]

@PS3CRAZY96 i've been looking for a long time, thanks

[whiteraider]

driving cars is exiting, traffic isn't ...

[rustshac72]

Hey folks what season is this on? ....any help would be much appreciated. Thank you. 

[aymthebest]

@rustshac72 S11 E02

[ruskeee]

4:10 sounds dangerous :D

[88manta88]

This is by far the best Top gear video. Love it

[TheEdgaroth]

This car is better then the sl63 because it's the AMG model. However the brabus model is even more powerful than AMGs.

[CherylKimberleylover]

@TheEdgaroth SL63 is also AMG this is AMG Black Series

[infinitevsinfinite]

i start watching top gear because of this episode. <3

[FarisNow]

what season and episode is this?

[agent807]

That warning letter sounds like it was describing a woman I know.

[Blue4reF1]

CLK 63 Black Series = Drivers car that can be driven everyday. Man I need one.

[TheSwed]

World class video, world class car, world class roads.

[squidballlove]

full tg episode could be seen at lovetevee(dot)com

[JUNAID187]

whats better this or the sl63 ?

[F0xSH0X1]

@JUNAID187 this haha clearly, jeremy actually bought one

[DocHavoc0512]

11 bmw m3 owners watched this lol

[leonnarify]

there are 11 idiots who don't know anything about cars

[3droadrunner]

epic video....

[98guido]

black edition?

[Blacklabel3434]

@ambrosius1111

depends, the Euro model has Recaro racing seats which can be uncomfortable at longer distances but again they are Recaro....super sick. The US model has seats very similar to the C63 which are leather bound and very comfortable for longer distances. Of course they both have their pros and cons. I'd imagine the US seats are considerably heavier then the Euro spec Recaro's.
