This is Jenson Button's Mercedes Benz CLK DTM AMG

Don't you like to play the lottery game? Imagining what you'd fill your dream garage with if your millions came in. My best buddy Darren is a notorious Merc-botherer, and he'd have a pile of three pointed stars. For me though, there is only one car from the German marque that I'd have - the incredibly rare, expensive and amazing CLK DTM.
Until today, I'd never seen one in the flesh, but thanks to local specialist Steve Hurn (www.shcars.co.uk) we are able to give you a close up look at an incredible car, with a very famous owner.

Give him a go Jensen! What a beast of a car, love the old shape to it, the new ones just don't look so special.

[@VarioFelce]

now THIS is a SPECIAL car

[@jonesjonz1]

This car is timeless. I could deal with the AMG black series if I couldn't find one.

[@MrPoopnoddy]

Just ask Mercedes where they all are. I'm sure they could find some... ;)

[@danielthomas2621]

Even a stock clk looks quite good, a timeless shape for sure, this though is kin awesome, thanks James....

[@Scala598]

I had not long read about these in one of the magazines back as a teenager and was out riding my bike, when a silver one of these cruised past, then foot down and thundered off down the road. One of the best sounding cars and its memory stuck with me ever since.

[@Plules22]

Please, let James drive this car Jenson. That would be mega.

[@harrylalli]

You really are smashing it with the recent content James... another great video!

[@ssahmed2558]

Love your reviews jay you give us enthusiasts a true insight into the history of the cars

[@Traktion1]

Really liking your recent videos! Lots of detail, interesting and some great shots too. Keep up the great work!

[@delboy2596]

Never been a Merc fan. But got to applaud them for producing these and in right hand drive.

[@rare6499]

That’s a good point as this sort of special is generally always LHD only.

[@kierandunn3306]

The arches on this car are a masterclass in aesthetics

[@edwardtiangco1445]

No need to apologize, mate.. thank you for sharing this marvel of a car with us.. I'm pretty sure you'll get the opportunity to drive more premium cars in the future.. already looking forward to it.. cheers!

[@tollefreyerson6710]

The DTM is one of those truly special rare autos! Love it!

[@TheSheamus78]

Ive only got the clk55 amg but i love it And the quad exhaust ive had fitted sounds amazing great cars very underated for the price

[@baronridgeback]

As intro’s go that was a masterpiece! As others have said, go on Jenson, please let him loose it with it!

[@spacechicken336]

Massively disappointed Jenson isn't in the passenger seat, sitting quietly and helping out with the drive by shots.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Me too

[@JasonWhitewick]

The whole intro in one take? So good

[@HotTakeHQ]

Very cool video and really excited to see someone with a shared curiosity about this ‘car.’

[@Mullac23]

That is one meaty peace of machinery

[@markhuckercelticcrossbows7887]

i love the ignition switch, out of a merc sprinter van and the switch gear, class :)

[@anthonyjamescarsltd3085]

What a MACHINE! Well done for such a great vid.

[@Drifty325i]

My uncle had one of these in New Zealand, was a weapon! I really loved the DTM with the extra aero. The engine noise was amazing, gearbox not the best but when i drove that thing i was just in love

[@jattlalkar3640]

Chat shit!

[@blacky0121]

Get banged😜

[@SkillzorZ021]

Is your uncle Kim dotcom?

[@Aldo-Music-Channel]

One awesome car! Truly outstanding, thanks for sharing 👏👏👌👍

[@mickgoodbe235]

James, your'e star. A full gushing review could only add value to the vehicle!!!! You make great content - thanks and keep it up!

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Thanks Mike

[@dennisb5319]

Now that is a bit special, keep up the good work.

[@lilpattman]

Jenson let Jayemm review it he is one of the better youtubers out there this guy and this car need to be seen!

[@carljones7992]

This vid was final confirmation i needed too subscribe finally. Well done.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Welcome on board

[@Sierra747]

Ive never been a Mercedes fan either but that’s an amazing car.

[@andyg806]

If I had the money I would have a collection of Black Series Mercedes... beautiful cars!

[@suffolksettler5106]

pretty special car - well done on this post

[@805NAVE]

I have yet to spot a CLK DTM in the wild, but I did see the next best thing; a CLK Black series! A month ago, I was walking on Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills at night, and I saw a red CLK Black Series idling on the side of the street!

[@visionist7]

Did you see if it had the naked carbon door trims inside or the regular CLK ones? AFAIK regular ones were a no-cost option if the carbon ones weren't to the customer's liking. I ask because I saw a picture of a red one with the regular door trims years ago

[@805NAVE]

Felice Graziano I couldn’t see in it, the windows were super tinted and it was at night too lol

[@ftffighter]

Actually, US regulations would not allow the full carbon fiber door trims due to crash regulations so AMG had to replace them with the CLK 55's leather trim but with Carbon Fiber accents(You know, because flakes of carbon fiber being splintered around in a collision probably isn't the greatest thing..) .

[@edmusick7794]

Great video Jay. I've never seen one in the wild either.

[@marcnobel3938]

Cool review, even when you couldn`t drive it. You don`t see them so often anymore.

[@tuomasholo]

The exhaust note is mega!

[@horsepower288]

Getting closer to that AMG Hammer wet dream :)

[@jamessheehy4895]

The m165 is my favourite engine ever

[@713vinh]

This is truly a special car. Jensen please let Jay test drive your car, he deserves it for the great presentation of your car.

[@Leonardo555ZZZ]

Looks like it has the same 6 piston front and 4 piston rear Brembo brakes as a 'normal' CLK55 AMG ,,that shows how high the capability of a regular AMG can be.. 722.6 5 speed was used for strength,, ,,,Good video thanks..

[@richiep1713]

It might look beautiful and be faster! But you can’t beat that 6.2 rolling thunder growl.

[@edgein3623]

Was fortunately enough able to see a couple of uk owners using them on the GP track at the Nurburgring one silver one black!

[@georgeapplegate2091]

Im a AMG man, but 250k would go into a Zonda, for sure? Jenson and i had the same driving instructor - a claim to fame !

[@jamiemorris5177]

Only seen one before in a Mercedes dealer in Essex when they were new

[@tonychavez2083]

I love that’s it’s the M113 motor 👌🏼 for my money I’m still buying the SLR with the same basic motor (M155) with different cams and heads.

[@ajg7609]

Rare as hen's teeth and absolutely stunning.. Hope he'll let you take it out for a cruise one time, that I'd love to see.

[@chrise2329]

Big fan of these ever since I saw one chasing a Carrera GT, very special.

[@gravyboat2370]

Beautiful

[@robertl2856]

Great item, thanks

[@MartinAston00]

I like how the fob ignition port is on the opposite side of the Start/Stop button in the right hand drive version. On the U.S. version the port is still on the right of the steering wheel, so you have to turn then push with tour right hand. The other way you can turn and push at the same time cause you can use both hands. Seems small, but when you drive both versions you notice how much it plays every time you start the car.

[@tradingcardboss]

🔥🔥Great Vid onwards and upwards 🔥🔥

[@Kevin-ey7et]

Love watching your video content you really know what you are talking about and that’s what a love about you cheers

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Thanks Kev!

[@Kevin-ey7et]

JayEmm on Cars your welcome

[@ih8temoney]

Stunning car.

[@jamesr8897]

Cool car, cool owner . Would be good to see it being driven

[@ichabaga1]

Awesome piece of the machine gives it to me...

[@stephenjones6832]

Great car with a great racing pedigree

[@invisiblekid99]

Great, great car. You could always watch Doug drive one.

[@ThorburnJ]

Would love to see you take this for a drive.

[@iandavidson99]

Odd the bonnet's not carbon fibre

[@carllynch8798]

Great car James

[@penzlic]

This is most beautiful MB coupe even in its original form. I still can't wrap my head around why they introduced that tiny c window on latter versions.

[@irfaan7868]

Lovely bespoke car. Jenson also had a NSX and wanted to buy a NSX R but couldn't get one to UK due to emissions etc

[@Tom-sc4qk]

Wow! Just wow!

[@drj2039]

I'm quite a fan of another rather expensive clk, the gtr. The dtm isn't too shabby either

[@seanbyrne8767]

Now let me go look for someone driving this at some considerable speed

[@pjay3028]

Don't worry, once you've owned your S Class for a while you will have dropped £0.25Million on a car......😂😂

[@dgvinn]

oooooooooo ouch , but sadly probably very true .

[@HotTakeHQ]

Ouch, burn! Sounds like someone’s been hurt before. It’s okay, you are safe. Everyone one of us probably has a car we love beyond reason. And you know we spent too much on it. Its going to be okay.

[@swiper1818]

Really interesting video

[@tjpj1919]

Great video let the man drive!

[@arrangrant4614]

Hi James Would be great if you could get Jensen to take you out for a ride in it mate preferably on a track 👍👍😁

[@AmirPomen]

U need to cover another sick merc.. SL65 AMG Black Edition...pleaseeeee

[@StefABtv]

Unbelievable car!

[@vikingfortiesfaeroes]

The most amazing thing is that it's right hand drive

[@chawenhalo0089]

Curious to know what they did to the structure of the car and the chassis which seems to widely differ to the AMG. No doubt that plus the uprated drive train is where the money went.

[@JA-ui3gg]

That is very cool.

[@mattdedasc]

Same engine in my G55 AMG. The supercharger draws 100 horsepower from the engine and returns some 270.

[@mikealanzo]

There is one for sale in Sweden for around €250K with one previous owner and just 5900 miles on it. Just like James, that's the first Merc on my list, and just like James, I don't have €250K laying around ......

[@carnuttz5883]

Go on jenson let him have a good old blast ✌️peace uk 🇬🇧

[@revinot]

Interesting that they used a M113K motorin this; it just shows how much faith Mercedes has in the engine and also what gems some AMG 55 owners actually have.

[@Sawubona2007]

Eyy whats that Brooklands doing in the background?

[@graemew7001]

I did suggest, in the realms of fantasy island a 959, but this is far more realistic, if I were rich because I'd buy it and be willing to use this occasionally, a 959 would just be an investment car like a 177 for the same sort of money. This car is stunning.

[@GTFour]

I wanted to see you drive and review this so badly

[@Dan_druft]

just saw the CLK Black Series in Dawlish Devon, not sure if it was a real one because there are kits on line for about £1500 but it looked amazing and it had that lovely grunt from the engine. I don't like the rear aches on this DTM as they look wrong compared to the black series.

[@amacca2085]

EDW - anti-theft warning system

[@daniDEE_tv]

damn, thats a rare one

[@1970boggy]

Much better James Proper cars 🚗 Come on Jenson, you’ve got enough coin! Give old Jimbo a squeeze! 👍

[@Rob01978]

190e Evo II first choice then CLK GTR then the DTM 😍

[@JAMAL12382]

Rob01978 GTR all the way ;)

[@alistairthompson2750]

In a different league to the clk black series what Clarkson owned and tested on top gear this is the nuts

[@e36328isport]

That is well cool😎. What a shame you didn’t have the opportunity to take it for a spin but really, just soaking up the details and hearing you describing it with such passion was more than enjoyable. I did actually see one at the ring a few years back, didn’t realise they were so rare..... 😳

[@SilverScarletSpider]

At this point, I’m really hoping to see a Mercedes Benz 190E Evolution with that giant spoiler

[@taketimeout2share]

Better than I imagined. Its is extremely nice.but still too Mercedes looking. Worth the wait and impressed. Jenson , please not just let him drive it but accompany him.

[@thelegendofdf287]

Haven't even watched the full video but that thing is beautiful

[@618hans]

Doesn't get any better.

[@Arradien]

Give him a go Jensen! What an awesome Mercedes!

[@kiasax2]

Well, now I understand why you've not checked out Mercedes Benzes before, you're not a fan. Too bad, I love everyone I've ever owned, from my first car, a 1956 190 Ponton to the CLK 550 that's my wife's car and my CL 55 AMG. Great cars, one and all. Truly.

[@simmey2011]

They made 100 hardtops, 60 LHD and 40 RHD, and 100 convertibles. Not sure the ratio of convertibles in LHD : RHD - This has been my favourite Merc for a long time, its so, so cool and rare!

[@ynwalfc.9711]

Is very nice

[@saturndesigns2339]

4:25 rear wheels look bigger?

[@techniqueswithtodd]

Should have a million subscribers imho.

[@PortugalHolidayVillas]

Who owns the Bentley Registration ‘3 UJ’ parked in the background? 4mins 36sec

[@nishhnishh1088]

I have this engine in my ‘93 Honda Civic

[@bernardwarr4187]

I would think in a few years we’ll be looking at a million pound car here

[@j.l.s.01]

Jersey plates?
