When one of the best automotive content producer drives the best Merc it evokes pure automotive emotions, thanks STG for another epic content.

[@Mw2knifeme]

Morning STG Fam!

[@kings3803]

Good morning. Have a great day. 👍

[@tomasso911]

CLK DTM is just amazing. I prefer the silver color though 🤷‍♂️

[@edwatterson]

It's such a small detail, but the stats list for the cars that's been added is such a great addition!

[@ailmajcen]

Sam, your enthusiasm was infectious. What a great video, now I want the DTM Merc as well, though I'm likely never to see one in Australia.

[@lukekindred1999]

Good lord CLK DTM’s never get old. Awesome bits of kit

[@stevee8920]

Sam just love the quality of your videos and your enthusiasm for anything car related. The best thing is we know you tell it how it is, if you hadn’t gelled with either car you would have said so and that’s what makes your channel stand out from the rest, incredible videography and a true petrol head (I loved that you apologised that you hadn’t put up any drone shots etc due to travelling light only to follow up with some beautiful drone shot scenery 😂😂) keep up the great content but more importantly enjoy your time away with your wife and newborn they are more important than any car Vlog 👍🇬🇧

[@SalomOon01]

Your excitement is so contagious Sam! A great video as always. Thanks for your continuous investment on quality content!

[@Shyted]

Love looking through the stock lists of the dealerships you visit, these guys do not disappoint. So many for the wish list.

[@theprofessional8966]

Beautiful Automobiles, I can understand your excitement about these cars. I get the same excitement with my 2003 SL500 and my 2004 SLK 230 kompressor. I enjoy them so much, I’m now looking for a V12 to go with them. Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[@keithyuen2005]

These are two of the best AMG engines every produced

[@eastbaystreet1242]

Agreed. And when he says that 2,000 rpms is all he needs, I completely agree. The 664 ft lb grunt of my S63 AMG Cab starting at 2,250 rpm is so phat. Then the comment about simply putting car in sport mode for the glorious, guttural downshifts that the tranny picks on its own (perfectly). I rarely get into the high rpms/full hp - though there are those moments when you have to have it all! Lovely guy sharing his genuine enthusiasm and warmth. Couldn't ask for anything more in a car video.

[@JoshSmith93]

Epic. That onboard in the DTM was 😍

[@danielsmall4363]

Loving your channel brilliant work keep it up and keep the amazing content coming 👍🏾 😊

[@Dom5neale]

Sam I have to say that green is really nice on the GT3. If only Tony could comment on your latest favourite Mercedes. I don’t think he would approve. Great video as always.

[@dmax9946]

2000's nostalgia overload. Well done Sam.

[@stewygb9915]

You absolutely smashed this review. F….n awesome!

[@jameshampton8730]

The CLK DTM is in a different league. Thanks for sharing

[@Rugras.]

Clarkson did a beautiful segment on the CLK Black. It's been stuck in my mind since then. Love it.

[@pasquale78]

You know it’s a different car to this one right?

[@Rugras.]

@@pasquale78 Yep, very similar though.

[@krissolson7043]

The color on your GT3 is so beautiful. I absolutely love it.

[@jeff8ball]

Looks like soooo much fun!

[@thomaselwood12]

Lovely rally stage testing with these beautiful Mercs. Love the content as always and I hope all is well with you Sam?

[@KnowPorcelain1]

CLK DTM one of my bucket list cars, especially the convertible version.

[@drivebyfuel]

Great cars. Even better content! Well done sir

[@dream_supercars_daily]

Love the car collection at that dealership

[@damngoodenzo]

Well that looked fun!

[@barfmeister8509]

Loved this! What a weapon that CLK GTR is ❤️ almost makes the GT3 seem…… tame 👀

[@jryalls]

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the DTM Pre date any black series car? You keep comparing this to the Black Series cars like they were around at the same time.

[@Doa744]

yes i think there is 2 years between the DTM and the black series where the DTM is the older version

[@colemangolf1]

Yes!!!!!!.... Nice work

[@RichardRatner.1972]

Very, very cool Sam. Big love, kindest regards, Richard U.K

[@fredschriks8554]

That W124 though. 🤩

[@DarkDeath-yg7nv]

back in the day we had a clk 55 coupe, regular non black that was great then the missus wanted the convertible version, which was fine with pros and cons. more direct sunshine, but less stable and more jelly lovely cars, back in the day

[@996Revival]

I used to have a CLK500, so watching the hot version makes me 😃

[@chrisp4899]

A very well timed overtake 👮‍♂️ I would have picked the dtm

[@MRVSKIN]

Love love love them both. The best era of black series. Bring back those days

[@spadgm]

Great vid!!, both amazing cars, I would take the DTM!

[@jimmybattiston4192]

Luv the clk

[@capcohan931]

Oh Sam your excitement and passion is just contagious! Sets the day up just right!

[@robbiehulin8001]

Another belter 🎉

[@grooveseeker2883]

Thanks Sam

[@martinmusilcz]

360 CS started production in late 2003 Sam. But never mind, great content as usual.

[@DISTINGUISHED.GENTLEMAN.]

Sam, thank you for introducing the new generation to these iconic AMGs

[@richardreich8427]

CLK DTM absolutely brill

[@trenthazbroek5602]

God that DTM is epic. i NEED that car one day.

[@elliotnutter1190]

I’ve also got a V8 CLK. You can get the gearbox TCU tuned and it really sharpens the shifts, but more importantly, makes it listen when you ask it to change gear. Great all round car.

[@SauloMogi]

What a dream this black series

[@AaronConcepcion]

gotta love these now "classic supercars"

[@gothychris]

Can tell you enjoyed this one Sam, excited much 😂

[@tedubadu2536]

Quirky car heaven

[@jamespugh]

Two very nice amg products.

[@shawnl519]

Thank you, Sam, for taking time and making such great weekly videos. We enjoyed them very very much!! Best wishes to you and your family ❤

[@Imacarhonk]

I do wish we could get more STG content but I know how much effort you put into these videos Sam keep it up!

[@Tiax776]

10:20 4 point harness. Yup, this guy truly knows his stuff. I mean this is the accurate details you can expect from millionaires who chase cars.

[@Mtechnic88]

These are the type of videos I love from you Sam, the old modern classic stuff brings out a ton of nostalgia. Keep up the good work man

[@zeusfitter007]

Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏼

[@edmi4816]

I just LOVEEEE these modern classics….THANKS SAM FOR THIS CONTENT!!!

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

We should enjoy them as long as they are around - and they you for doing it for us :))))) Will there be ever an EV black series? I don't see its possible.

[@DerBlauerCobra]

CLK ALL DAY!!! YAY!!!!

[@Notmeagamer]

Should add a standard sls to the collection

[@stephennemerofsky3992]

Great video! Always enjoy the jazzy music, but the rock at the end was a fun change. Love the driving viewpoint for that road!

[@avmelidor]

I dig

[@TheBookkeeperNL]

The chateau and road looks amazing, would you share the names with us? :)

[@engjellvalteri8992]

Best 2 cars Amg made

[@SpenceOfAthens]

That was classic stg vid and got me dreaming again

[@drippincolors]

Anyone know the road he was driving on from Asphalt Classics to the chateau?

[@bighitjumper]

30°C, sunny blue sky, black cars, black interior...perfect conditions. Sam is wearing jeans and long sleeve :DD kuRRwa

[@carloscanizares4699]

Sam, you’re channel is the perfect transition from finishing Le Mans, a beach-side drive in my MX5 and onto breakfast in the PNW. Cheers!

[@spunkkat1721]

Great vid - I hope you keep 1st person videoing. Most have a person holding it & it takes away from the direct connection with the artist in my view.

[@Kxji]

SLS has to be one of the greatest AMG's ever.

[@tunes4life]

You can't beat having a run in classic mercs... brilliant vid and love your excitement for the CLK DTM, hope you can make it one day, to own yours soon enough...

[@williama-d6]

Is that the beginning?

[@k.r.99]

The first minutes give so much room and space for missinterpretations 💀🙈

[@VL1975]

Did you watch Lemans!?

[@Lloydmax]

Would be nice to hear a bit more about your watches ⌚

[@drippincolors]

Johnny Black from The Fast Show would’ve just lost his mind😂

[@danielnorthcott53]

You have my dream job

[@ludda42]

I love the SLS black but that CLK was a pleasant surprise

[@davidbillberg2203]

Mmm. Lovely.

[@sickjohnson]

Sam out here living his best life... Another awesome video Sam, keep them rolling man!

[@thedrivebygg]

Saw a CLK DTM at Mercedes Benz world on the track, very cool understated car.

[@markdennis7119]

Always great video content 7 stars 🌟 reviews

[@aumenarys]

As a long time French subscriber, your French prononciation has always been quite good.

[@richboy900]

I've seen the CLK-DTM cabriolet at a dealer many moons ago. Very special car, I think only 80 were made of that version. One of those 'if you know, you know' cars

[@AlbertPalmer]

Great T Shirt!

[@encinobalboa]

Sigh. I will have to make do with my C55.

[@enricocurcio1610]

One day we gonna see STG on gumball?

[@AutumnCars]

Amazing

[@picklepic3415]

When does your next Ferrari 360 video drop?

[@obsidian....]

I'll always remember Clarkson and his CLK Black Series - I think that was my first real introduction to the Black Series

[@leostreat3573]

Oh behave....

[@Trustno1jed]

What’s the new watch you been wearing? First comment been watching since before the 570? maybe. Oregon USA here. Thanks for all the years of wonderful content.

[@slineboy]

❤great 🎉😢😮😅

[@picklepic3415]

I’m quite certain that a Cannonball Run from NY to LA in the Ferrari 360 would break the internet!

[@SPQR_GuiGui]

It's a 5-point harness...😉

[@mateo991.2]

hey dude, thank you for the amazing conent. Could you perhaps link the shirt you were wearing at 9:17? Right up my street😎

[@charlie1832]

Shmee needs to get the CLK DTM and the SL 65 Black Series to complete the collection

[@ticonow2771]

German muscle car

[@Tjescoo]

I'm really missing all kinds of depth in this video

[@gordonsimpson3235]

CLK DTM. Its a wild car....you don't see them very often, so an opportunity to drive one mustn't be missed. I love this car....cant understand why Tim doesn't have one in his 'Black' collection along side his C63 AMG Black. I would choose this above an SLS Black. In fairness a C63 AMG Black sounds better!

[@WjC00LEY]

543

[@karlbuckley8346]

I said this on Shmee’s channel before, but imagine the SLS Black series with the modern Panamericana vertical grill slats. That would be perfection in my opinion.
