It's cold and raining so I'm doing what one does when they have lack of ambition combined with poor climate conditions on a weekend: comb the internet for answers to questions that don't really need answering. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! sparked my interest in a this particular rabbit hole find with the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of the awesome (thank you FIA for homologation rules) CLK-GTR.

I don't dislike looking for nostalgia on this car. I actually had a scale model sitting on my computer desk for the better part of the 2000's so there's a soft spot. And a soft spot for an old car loves the wonderful nostalgia of period motoring documentaries.
This one is a good 15 minute watch that it seems Mercedes must have commissioned giving a look at AMG birthing the car from sketch to race and road versions.
It's got cheerfully bad synth pop.
It's got lots of "wow computers!"
It's got bad sound mixing.
It's got plenty of long time lapse montage.
And yes, It's got great German mustaches.
There is some good information and plenty of race car in there too for good measure.
