I lived in Osaka in the early 90 s as a Mercedes lover great memories I’ve still got all the car magazines from the days thanks patina collection

[@Romittt]

This C140 is too sick! A gem of the collection for sure!

[@Boost_95]

Thank you Vico & Daniel + everyone on the Patina team for bringing back the culture 🔥💯

[@PatinaCollective]

Dream team Patina boys worldwide

[@Highlander1432]

This is great Love these videos guys

[@barneymiller7894]

I think Vico honed in on what makes Wangan racing one of the most impressive automotive feats in recent history. It wasn't just cars that could touch 200mph, they could maintain that speed for 30+ minutes and then drive comfortably to a job or business meeting. All while utilizing 1990s era technology! And let's not forget that many of the best JDM tuners were inspired by the German cars and German tuners. Even Nakai San of RWB started on Toyotas, but now builds Porsches (and Mercedes, he dailys an R129). Also, while on the topic of JDM Mercedes tuners, don't forget Auto Fashion Factory Spirit!

[@PatinaCollective]

No doubt! Thank you for tuning in

[@Dave1507]

The name "Rau-Welt-Begriff" itself shows german inspiration, since those are german words. They make no sense in that combination though.

[@barneymiller7894]

@@Dave1507 The original name was Rough World 👍 That was back in the 90s when Nakai San was still street drifting in a AE86

Not ashamed to say I’ve watched this video more than 10 times. You guys are the kind of car enthusiasts I’d like to hang out with. I love this video, thank you.

[@christiansprojects-cgmanuf1426]

The secret switch below the steering column at 8:56 is probably either passenger eject or trunk lock from the inside...

[@e1beats]

Wow! 10/10!!! Beautifully made. Love the footage and editing. Professionally done and you can tell it took a ton of work. Vico has a genuine emotional connection to these masterpieces. You can feel the awe in his voice. Special. Magnificent job guys!!

[@andrewnichols1023]

Old Mercedes are sick as hell before and was involved and brabus and amg got a made car made from one of these companies and you have a sick car.

I could imagine this video playing on a screen behind this car in its exhibit at the museum. The video was so well done

[@carlduxbury1472]

The whole Patina team are legends but Daniel, damn you excelled yourself with this video. So much professionalism and very well put together. Awesome vid!

These documentaries are on an entirely different level to ANY other US channel! Massive respect gents, this content is top quality, high budget TV show level. So glad ive discovered you!

[@Herkulez1981]

You guys are legends… never even Tought about the 80s benz tuner culture but this channel alone has made me a fan and im looking for one myself now

[@E63DOM]

C140, C140, C140 was done right you can't complain about how they built that car and when it was build it was one of a kind, from the b-less pillar to the v12. AMG Japan and its tuners really did an amazing job on this car. We're glad it's going in the museum for us to see. #ThePatinaCollective #Benzonly

[@BitcoinKal]

Sunday afternoon in a rainstorm 🇬🇧 that’s was a ray of sunshine 🌞. Best episode so far. Thanks guys. Big respect from your fans in the U.K. 🇬🇧

[@MastaBruce13]

This is for me hands down the best car in Patina collection

[@areoff-road8286]

Great documentary episode guys, kinda miss the daily vlog style bit this is more professionally presented. I couldn't agree more, I own 2 JDM AMGs and both have the options where the speed limiter is raised and one of my car has the similar digital radar display (supercat). What I like about JDM AMG is they often has all of the optional specs & features available and normally the car is in pristine condition compared to EU AMG (used vs. Used). Mine comes with Volk Racing wheels which makes it even more JDM 😁

[@Gregsheppo66]

Can’t wait! Let’s go Patina boys! Something great to occupy my night shift tonight.🎉

[@StarPeopleWorld]

Loved this Episode. The C140 just gets better looking with age, the widebody is just on another level. Great Job guys!

[@PatinaCollective]

We agree! Thx

No modern AMG can match the esthetic of this car, truly a machine that scream madness and luxury at the same time.

Start to a GREAT SUNDAY. god bless you guys & the hard work you put into documenting these special cars. Ill own something special one day.

Literally childhood favorite’s. Both the C & W140. Nothing sexier even by today’s standards.

[@andrewnichols1023]

My dad had a merc dealership in the early 90s and has a W140 s500 as his company car and it was sick as hell, so baller and gangster, they just don’t make cars to that standard today.

[@pjayx7320]

90s German engineering combined with Japanese tuning. These cars are probably the definition of being bulletproof.

[@itanimulli.]

Let's put that german engineering that is tuned by Japanese into an Italian car brand to unlock axis horse powers

[@Cynethis1982]

This episode was everything! Love learning more about the Japanese Racing Circuit and the history of Mercedes being a part of it. Plus C140 to me was always that one.

[@speedsterautowerks1222]

I’ve loved this car since you guys first got it, everything about it is so ahead of it’s time , so cleanly opulent, so 90’s excess and yet if you didn’t know about the car it would still be stealthy and someone understated

[@macius12chw75]

every video is a heavy hitter but me personally would love to see more films like this one ❤‍🔥

[@albert_alby]

Great Video! I'm the Jets fan from the RR show with the R129 project. My other ride is a Galant VR-4 that I've been working on getting some factory AMG parts for. Those prices are outrageous and the real ones aren't even turbo but I'm a big fan of the appearance on the E39a Mitsubishis.

[@DarkCloud1999]

Great video, amazing edit and that AMG is a incredible unit but a couple of clarification about bosozoku. They were never about racing nor had any interest in enhancing the performance of their bikes. It was a street gang which acted as an entry way to yakuza. Also nowadays they're basically gone, there are guys who modify their bikes in that style but the whole gang thing is long gone. Anyways great video!

[@douglaswheeler1160]

This vid hits different, legit story for the cars. Patina going to blow up nasty by end of summmmmmmmmmmmmer. We need some more collab vids (curren$y, we are curated, and hopefully 80-90s rappers, and more classic car enthusiasts)

[@StonedNoob]

Grateful for the algorithm to bring this up for me. Interesting watch. Some feedback, there is a lot of repetition of information. Also, we barely got to hear the sound of the car or take a closer look.

[@Eric-BowtieNation]

Fantastic video guys! Such a special AMG and I can't wait to see it at the museum in person someday.

[@shaheenal-asadi]

Well produced video, shoutout to the editors for real - the intro was very well organized. Love this ride, it's one of a kind - I cant believe I saw it on the auction, I knew it was special. Love your output, protect these gems. Cant wait to see the Museum, Benz Mecca in Boca Raton 💎🌴🐫

[@Jeff_F7]

excellent video. Love the c140 mercedes. Even stock, these have presence, but in AMG form, menacing. Nice historic footage of classic Japanese street racing. really miss the 90s. I was very into this scene back in the mid 90s and tried to procure as many japanese car racing videos on vhs tapes from Japan as I could. A friend had a way to order various videos from Japan. This was the birth of the tuner scene before all the ridiculous nonsense with fast and furious here in the US (was not really a fan of the first ones as I think they really made the scene look kind of silly with all the flashiness and gaudiness and the silly dialogue and language). Early tuner Japanese (and Euro) compacts in the 90s were not like that. The tuner scene started gaining popularity in the US in the 90s (Southern California) and much earlier in Japan but it was still early enough that the tuner scene was still sort of new and exotic. Seeing a modified Japanese or European compact car on the street was still rare and grabbed attention, with people looking on with curiosity as to what they were looking at, with maybe some scoffing from American muscle-car fans who thought it was pointless for a compact Japanese box with a comparably tiny engine to even be tinkered with (of course, a well-modified Japanese compact was found to be more than capable of matching or even beating an American v8 in a straight line depending on the v8's level of tune, and they could handle around corners unlike those earlier American cars. The scene was more focused on improving performance (even though cars got much faster later on when the technology and tuning improved as well as after much knowledge was gained through racing in these early years) and aggressive yet clean and relatively subtle exterior styling was the order of the day (just look at the old footage in the video above and that gives you an idea of how the cars looked; moderately lowered suspension, nice lightweight high-quality wheels or stock wheels with high-performance tires, maybe front and rear spoilers or subtle body kit, and some small sponsor decals arranged in a column down the front fenders or hood, more aggressive but not loud freeer-flowing exhaust system with stainless steel muffler and tips for the purpose of improving flow and not just to be stupid loud; and that's it. the rest of the mods were underneath such as engine, suspension, brakes, tires). Car tuners lusted after Japanese performance parts for their US spec Japanese cars and these were high-quality parts (unlike post-fast and furious when you could get a cheap and crappy fart can from pep boys for your beat-up and poorly-modded Japanese box). Later on, though, after the video game Gran Turismo and sport compact car magazines, the scene got more popular. Unfortunately after fast and furious though, it turned into something else entirely. But back to the mercedes c140. One of the best if not the best chassis ever made by Mercedes. As Vico mentioned, the coupes were the more special and exclusive of the 140 chassis all of the best that Mercedes had to offer at the time went into the S class coupes. The AMG V12s with the increased displacement were so rare and this widebody takes the c140 to the stratosphere in terms of exclusivity. A proper yakuza mobile. Nice informative video.
