For merc to let matt do this must show how much influence and how big he is in the car game these days. Can't believe he has become such a icon.
So basically Matt got to drive the dream cars of children from every decade.

Lmao all the nonces in the reply section🤣 but yes i would love to drive all those mercs
I was waiting for this vid for merc fans
@@tatianatitei5520 me too
It was the quickest car in the world for a while I think. It is probably faster if you launched it properly.

Thank you to Mercedes for allowing the performance tests on these beautiful old cars. It was super informative to see what these cars are capable of and see the change in performance over the years.
The w124 Hammer is so amazing,the coupe is even better. I would love to see the 7.3 Brabus from 0-60. BENZLOVE
The 300SL Is one of the sexiest cars ever made, period.
This and Aston Martin DB5
Along with alfa 8c and alfa 159. I dont even care
Let's add the Ferrari 250 GT on the list too cos these 3 cars imo are the prettiest cars of all time from the 50~60s

Brilliant video! Very interesting to see how the older cars compare to modern standards! And to hear what they sound like and how they pull. Awesome stuff! Thanks!

You cant insure classics im sure you know ☺
Does he need to be insured if the car is insured?
It was a JOKE
Hahahahah
@@drawwithdan5821 man, people need to relax and just take a joke as it is haha
I once had a 230E like that, but in manual (and bottle green) - '85 model I think. Can confirm that it is both slow and super comfy. I loved that car.
The happiness on mat face says it all. Very good video. He must be feeling very special as i have never seen merc doing something like this.
There was something seriously wrong with that Hammer. They’ve been known to easily crack 0-100 km in 5.0 seconds dead and go on to reach a top speed of around 190 mph.
You have to go through the gears, not leave it in D, that way you can redline 1st and 2nd then you have to shift into D
The issue is probably that Matt was a bit afraid of the lack of TC. The Hammer (and most of the 80-90-s mercs with auto box) has a button under the gas pedal, and you have to absolutely floor it to make it start from 1st, otherwise it'll take off from 2nd gear.
@@slevente00 yeah definitely true, that's what I thought I have a W124 E280 and it's the same There's a button under the gas pedal and if no one is gonna tell you you won't know🤣
@@ghostweezy or you learn it the hard way, you floor it to do an overtake, and after 3 seconds the shit suddenly gets real:D Unless if you have an N/A diesel, then nothing will happen (:)
@@slevente00 jep, it`s the Kickdown Button.You can floor the pedal at every gear and when you smash it to the button, the gear box will shift down one gear.
The 300SL has such a beautiful, timeless design!
This is one of the greatest videos. Thank you Matt
06:12 Hahahahahaa you didn't pressed the Kickdown button, it's under the Gaspedal I own one of these, you would be impressed how much speed it has!
oooh so thats what the button under the gas pedal does
We can all agree that he loves his job.
_yessir_
I would pay for it hahaha
Shit I would too
I wouldn’t even require salary for this. I would just do it for free
You can tell he is never late
That 300sl, oh my lord Im having a crisis looking at that beauty. And they let you launch that, Im amazed.
The most important thing in a car Is the emotions She gives you,not just how fast It goes...awesome video as Always
This was a fantastic video! We love classic Mercedes and seeing modern takes on retro things
Mercedes : So how many cars do you want for this video ? Carwow : Yes
This comment wins 😂
Actually its the opposite
7:17 big shout out to Greg for making one of the best motoring journalists on the planet 😂
if nit the best
The sound of that clk is simply amazing!
That Last drive was so funny🤣!!! My stomach still hurts🤣🤣🤣! Go Matt
The most beautiful car is the 300 sl 😍😍😍 it’s absolutely gorgeous

No doubt
Yeah

Title : RARE MERCEDES CARS Mat : 4:41 They sold 2,400,000 of these!
😂👍🏻🤣😅
It's the most successful Mercedes model ever. Nearly 2.7 million sold, including the coupe and estate versions.
its the most reliable car ever is that enough to be rare or special .
@@sokolmiftari3887 not rare
I do love some mad mercs and its awesome they let you drive them, i would have like to have seen you really launch them
Really pleased for you Matt, you were like a kid at Christmas and it was lovely to watch 👌👍
That Hammer started in second gear! It had the same gear from 0 to 60 mph, changed gear at 60. So my bet is it started in second gear 👍🏼
Yes, you have to put your foot down more to start in first gear, which is nice than matt did not torture the poor thing after all those years
Mercedes Benz the best or nothing, it's as simple as this. We can all agree that he loves his job.
And your profile pic is the cockpit view from a Tesla 😂
Hi i have a new mercedes. Honestly the car has an amazing set of features, but its not very reliable so far. Every week another sensor dies
Crazy Chaos sadly i agree, my friend have the sams issue from his brand new 60k euros e class
Matt yes its really disappointing, my older volkswagen touran family cardoes not have a single issue in the last decade of years. But the brand new mercedes has sensor trouble all the way. The mercedes garage seems to be very busy and tries to send me away all the time
Who wouldn't love this job anyway?🔥😍
I saw one of these lifted monster truck G Wagon's going to a CNC Motors Dealership in Upland, California while leaving In-N-Out in Upland, California

Mat in this video be like an unattended child in Disney land..
Yuvraaj Yadav if v wer there , v would be toooo!!!
Well , anyone would be. To see these cars alone is great , let alone launch it
The best video of the greatest car compilation i have ever seen thank you Matt wooow
5:35 the engraved AMG logo should make a come back. 👍
who wants to see a Mercedes SL73 AMG?
I do!!! But I was surprised seeing the CL65... I’d also love seeing the E63 W212 pre-facelift or the R63 AMG :)
I would have like to seen one my AMG'S out there. But he isn't much of a driver so it would have broke my heart to see the times.

Mat, you one-up yourself every time don't stop!
Awesome video one of my favourites... a good change from the super cars etc
this was the best review that Mat has ever done.
crazy, that modern transmission technology has done to todays cars acceleration. modern 300hp cars accelerate faster than cars 30years ago that had 500hp.
Weight also
Most cars today are heavier though. It’s not just transmission, the power band in these older cars was much narrower. That combined with Matt not allowed to launch using the clutch and you get these rather slow times.
Turbo
2:20 launching a car that only has 12 others. *Noice"
That CLK sounds .... insane and I love it!
Videos like this give good understanding to how crazily fast budget performance cars have gotten over the years
Apparently, Mercedes will "win" all group tests this year on this channel.

Lookman Abdula 😂😂😂😂 swoooosh
Mercedes makes beasts. I can't believe that first classic os so fast and has a brilliant sound. Just imagine 1955s❤
I was so keen to know and so excited while watching it wow the best car
A german Car Magazin actually recorded a 7,2 second 0-60 time for the 300 Sl. Mat was very careful with it.
5:59 that 300E sounds beautiful
Thank you for this vid , the day you posted it was my birthday and i loved the vid especially bc im a benz fanboy Thx
300sl was definitely the best out of all. Almost 70 years old and it is as fast as a warm hatch of today. Nice!
The fact that they made 200hp on a 3 liter 70 years ago is amazing.
@@willemkanon4020 yes. If I recall correctly this engine is fuel injected so it is quite an advanced engine especially for its time.
Vlad Mihai yea after seeing this I researched a little, it's the second car with a fuel injection system. It's actually a mechanical fuel injection system which is fucking bonkers. It was too complicated for normal production cars. Leave it up to the Germans to make something so intricate.
@@willemkanon4020 well, I wouldn't expected less from them. what is the first car with fuel injection?
We want more of these!
Great video!! Incredible you could launch all of these :D
Awesome vid. Original and great to watch
The CL65 is such a beautiful car with lovely interior
I am truly happy for Matt. He has come this far, he has shown dedication and you can't deny his genuineness! I wish him even more success!
Matt Thanks For all the amazing Content aswel as the team behind the cameras ✌️ Love to see this kind of video with Hyundai of course not so much history there but the past decade they have been really making there Brand Name Known and some of there future upcoming cars look amazing or an electric hypercar video round the track 🤔🤟😎

This is probably gonna be the best video he's ever done. Matt's the luckiest guy on the planet.
3:58 faster than my first car - 1994 Opel Corsa b 1.2 45 HP 😂
All old Mercedes automatics started out in 2nd gear, you would only get 1st unless you mashed it at low speeds or you selected it manually. I noticed some people mentioned this happened with the AMG W124 and that's why it was so slow, but the same thing happened in the 230E (which is a 4-speed auto, not 3-speed)
Those last three cars ............AWSOME I say AWESOME.☺☺☺☺☺☺Thanks for the clip Mat.
My God that clk is drop dead GORGEOUS
This was a fun episode. I've owned a 2003 CLK55 AMG and that thing could haul ass but more importantly it felt so heavy and stable at high speeds I loved it.
