The Supercar That Almost Bankrupt Mercedes

[@paulb2673]

you kinda fail to mention mercedes' rich racing heritage. there are SO many mercedes race cars before the clk gtr.

[@AdoptedHistory]

Good call out. It was a smaller project under 10 minutes and tried to squeeze in what I thought would tie things in best. You are right tho, they do have fantastic racing heritage even before this model

Mercedes not known to make high performance cars? They have been racing since pre-WW2.

First vid Ive watched of urs i got recommended. Was shocked to see u only have 8k subscribers with such good quality vids, keep it up man as long as u dont give up ur gonna get what u deserve :)

[@ftffighter]

Really?? KZbin is telling me that this guy has only 533 Subscribers? With 11 videos, idk what to believe. KZbin also says there's only 3k views and 72 likes. That has to be a glitch or something is wrong.

[@kgill3734]

@@ftffighter ohhhh nvm i swear i saw 8k mb. Thats even more impressive then 😅

[@AdoptedHistory]

Wish I had 8k 😅 hopefully one day. Appreciate you kgill

[@ftffighter]

Great video, Sir! You did great work and research, A+ and Subbed!!!

[@AdoptedHistory]

This means so much to me. Thank ftfighter!

Great work on the video, popped up randomly on my feed and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Quick side note though, can you get into more detail about the actual work that went into pulling it off, It felt as if you were hyping up the car and mentioning headlines but not much substance. That being said, this is you channel and I am going to subscribe for more 😄

[@AdoptedHistory]

Thanks I appreciate the feedback!

@@AdoptedHistory Super, I'm looking forward to the next upload

[@tubedude26666]

I find it interesting that you completely omitted the impressive flight display they made at Le Mans 1999. Oh well…

[@AdoptedHistory]

those were wild scenes with 3 times going airborne.. wanted to focus more on the early races tho

[@ronnietjikoeri9965]

Isnt this the car that went airborne?

[@AdoptedHistory]

Yep, 3 times in a race

[@ftffighter]

@@AdoptedHistory Although you're kinda right, you're kinda wrong I'm sorry to be that guy! Technically it was the Mercedes CLR that flipped, which was basically the 3rd evolution of the CLK-GTR. Only one road version was sold I think. Ironically, the CLK-LM's design that the CLR was based on never had problems with aerodynamic instability. It was only changes that were made specifically for that race that really made them death traps. CLK-GTR> CLK-LM> CLR.
