Incredible sounding motor, sounds like a NASCAR with a German accent. I was at Le Mans in the late 80’s and 90, the a sight and sound that won’t ever leave me is of the Merc coming down into Indianapolis and then blasting out of Arnage in the small hours of a Sunday morning

Anyway, engineers did a good job, putting "quite" short gears, if you are brave enough to call a 130 km/h first gear "short"... The ratio of every gear is close to each other.

It was designed specifically to race on tracks like this. Look at the list of tracks used in the 1990 World Sportscar Championship: Suzuka, Silverstone, Monza, Nurburgring, Mexico City. Fact is that, according to Martin Brundle, who raced against it in a Jaguar, the C-11 just had more downforce while maintaining the same top speed.
@housey42974 жыл бұрын
The more I watch this, the more I think the C11 actually surpasses the 917 in my all time top 2. I was lucky enough to be track/stage side most weekends in the 80's and got to see Group C, Group B, Group A, F2/F3000 and F1 perhaps at their pinnacle of speed without tech killing them. The C11 was incredible.

Quadrant14 Justus Raw is correct, the WMP88 did 405kph(251.5533MPH) in the 1988 24hr of LeMans, the driver was Roger Dorchy and he set the LeMans speed record that still stands today because of the added 1990 Mulsanne Straight Chicane's 1 and 2. The C-9 Mercedes of 1989 did 400kph (248.5484 mph) driven by pole winner Jean-Louis Schlesser.
@chuckyboy69775 жыл бұрын
The difference between the WM Peugeot and the Sauber Merc was, the Merc did 400km/h every lap no problem do so.and the guys at WM duct tape all the gaps and inlets for less drag. But with no air going into the cooling inlets the WM gave up the ghost very soon after the Mulsanne speed run.

When Mercedes make race engine, they extract all emotions and harmonics, they leave only hamers of hell. That is why those engines sound so brutal, sawage and demonic. I never ever hear any of their racing car to produce just a little of merciful harmonic. Don't know is that one of reason why I love them so. Such beautiful plain and functional, to me this is one of best racing car ever built.
