FASTER THAN A LAMBORGHINI: THE GT THAT CHANGED THE HISTORY OF MERCEDES BENZ
This is the model that changed the history of Mercedes Benz. Almost 300 km/h, faster than a Lamborghini Countach, many mechanical improvements and an exclusivity that today makes its price does not stop rising.
The most extreme models of the brand, the so-called AMG, are more than interesting and striking variants. It was thanks to these models that the company achieved a very good reputation both with fans and in the sports scene. And although at first they seem to be simply acronyms that are added to the names of the cars, they have behind them a very interesting history, to which contributed greatly the Mercedes W126, S-class coupe, better known as SEC.

My 1st car was a 88 mx6 GT, that 2.2 Turbo would whoop on civics and accords
Ha ha ...300kmh das ist nur ein 2Ventiler, nur der 4 Ventiler 6.0 385 PS Schaft die 285 kmh
Just letting the usa boys know... the 1st gen GTO NA, came with 4wd and 4ws. Sorry, just a jdm thing, aaand its a dohc engine. Thats where the 255bhp came from.
Hey man >:(
GNX never failed! G body got replaced with front wheel drive, get your facts straight!
The stunt supra that sold at barret jackson did not have a turbo it also didn't have a turbo when it was purchased for the use in the movie it's a 5 speed automatic non turbo confirmed by craig lieberman
Click bait
The 3000GT was a sales success. The VR4 was much lower volume. Nobody in the U.S. cared about the R34 until Gran Tourismo and 2Fast2Furious because they never saw one or knew anybody who had one. Meanwhile your neighbor had a 300ZX. Your teacher had an RX7. Your uncle had a Trans Am or IROCZ. Your friends mom had a Supra, and so on and so forth. I would much rather have any of the cars from my teenage years mentioned above than any Skyline.
Give me the GNX over anything
90s japanese cars were the best and still are the nicest with those pop up headlights and rounded body styles. I love the 80s boxey Japanese car styles. Cars are ugly now
Yup I have heard 300 plus hp for those beautiful GN
The lies of the left about fuel and other crap.
300km/h faster than countach… I don’t think so
He missed a comma, changed the meaning 🤣
This guy doesn't know Sh-t it was a big hit going for 50 to 60 grand in late 87. We have 7 of them registered in our midwest chapter some are worth over 200k.
❤
they're still winning in the quartermile and selling at a premium
Well now that every single automotive CZcamsr is all "The 3000GT is forgotten and a great bargain" everyone who has one for sale just added five grand to the price.
A female Mexican radio DJ abandoned one of these in a garage LA back in 2003😂 electrical problems basically bricked the car, we stored garbage in the car. It was beautiful to look at but damn we did that car dirty.
Why would you remove the turbos from a RB26 to ITB’s?
why not, i think its sick and something different
The 3000GT wasn't a DSM. The DSM was a plant in Illinois for the Eclipse, Laser, and Talon. Technically the last year of the DSM was 1995 but the 2Gs are all considered DSM due to the model production starting before DSM was defunct. The Sebring is more DSM than the 3S platform.
sorry but isnt there only a SOHC 164hp and DOHC 225hp along with the RT turbo 320? @3:15 says 255?
The 164hp engine was only in the base Stealth. The 3000GT started with the 220hp V6 in the base and SL models
If memory serves I believe mitsu advertised the NA V6 as having 222hp. At least for the 1st gens.
Fast Lady!
3000GT 😁 VR4LIFE 😍 VR4EVER 😎
You are on drugs. It was the fastest car sold at one point. It had the most sophisticated features out there. It handled like a beast for a heavy car. I loved my VR-4 and wish I still had it. I believe this BS was AI generated.
It's a Legend VR4LIFE 😍 VR4EVER 😎
The guy that lived in back of my trailer park says he had one. He said his had at least 800 horsepower and could beat anything on the road except an indecent exposure charge. He said he raced a fight jet and won. H I remember he used to wear cut-off blue jean shorts with a stained wife beater shirt tucked in over his bear belly with high top white tennis shoes. He got voted number 1 for the prettiest mullet in the trailer park. Looked just like Joe dirts one it did I tell ya! He ain't stuck around long because the po-leece come looking for him one day saying he been touching lil boys at the baseball field in a "not right way". Da po-leece even said he had roommate for him already. Some guy they called "Bubba da-but scrubber". I said "dats a weird last name!" But I heard that his Buick GNX went on to be used to make world peace because it was so dog gone beautiful...
they made around 330hp stock
😊❤🎉
What shit video
Thanks man! I've reached out.
Lol What a bunch of mis information Look this is how it went down GM was moving from rwd to fwd platforms to be shared across divisions It didn't happen overnight it took years of engineering and everybody in every make knew it was coming Nothing nefarious at all here folks just evolution
Hey man! How do i contact you asap.
matiaslograsso@outlook.com
lol..GM failed The GNX... no way you can say this about a 2024 model GM anything in 40 more years. 2 doors and 300 HP...not everyone needs four doors or an SUV in the 80's ...These models go across the auction blocks very rarely... if its low miles and unmolested ..it well sell for well over 200 k price..They failed because the stopped production of rear drive platform models and to make Corvette execs happy..I could never fit in a Corvette but I can fit me and 3 other people and their luggage in this car. Pontiac had the same set up in a limited Firebird version.. not as popular as the Regal but just as fast...
General motors killed it because it caused a stir against Corvette
Because they fell apart. They were so badly built that they often came back for major repairs within a year and by ten years old almost all of them are junked out trash.
Really Sir? I’d like to know what your proof is regarding your statement? I’ll wait?
Mine is a 74k mile survivor. I agree the past Knowledge couldn't keep the cars together well. Knowledge has advanced concerning how to build them for reliability. I have a 500hp 600tq grandnational its a monster. It cost me 20k to build it but this is safe and reliable. Some are built for more power but you risk blowing up the motor. Transmission from the factory is only good for a little above stock horsepower. Don't build the transmission the motor will destroy it. Build a 200r4 transmission well and it can stand up to some big numbers. Want 4 digit HP get a built TH400. Buy you a buick v6 stage 2 block 5000 dollars for it. Its good up to 2000hp. 500hp is good enough for me for street driving. PS turbo cars love the fall. Stock GNs were 300hp on a 50 degree or below day. Its crazy because you can feel the HP increase.
Not factual in multiple ways but some good information mixed in.
And a year later, GM killed Pontiac's Fiero.
It did not fail at all. 87 was the last year of that platform which includes the Buick Regal/ Grand Natinoal /GNX the Chevy Montecarlo/SS the Oldsmobile Cutlass/442/Hurst Edition and the Pontiac Grand Prix/2+2. 87 was the only year they made the GNX it was always meant to be a limited numbers car! Go online and look what one will cost you today and come back and tell me its a failure.
I believe there was the Cutlass and Monte Carlo that was titled as 88 models. The Buick and Pontiac was 87.
A legend and the car that started it all
Not a failure. At. All.
I'd say the RWD G Body platform went out swinging
I believe there was a G Body and a G Platform, it not both.
Love those cars. They, in my opinion, were the best looking Buicks ever made.
I have a GN but the GSX is a pretty good looking car. Similar to the chevelle and 442
It was changed to Winston Cup because Winston via RJ Reynolds Tobacco became the primary sponsor of the NASCAR premier series. The other reason the Buick Regal with the turbocharged V6 was created was because Buick started building "stock block turbo V6" for the CART series to run at the Indianapolis 500. It was part of the homologation rules for the CART series that to qualify for use in the series it had to have so many engines installed in production cars. The car was never a failure, it was a limited production vehicle to meet the requirements for CART. This is just like the limited production of the winged Dodge Daytonas and Plymouth Superbird. It's also the reason that there were Boss 429 Mustangs and 426 Hemi Chargers and Barracuda's.
Government Motors is a perfect example of how not to run a company.
GM killed off quite a few car decisions because they would be faster than the Corvette. Imagine if they didn't...
False
It wasn't so much the car was a failure, as these are obviously very collectible. It was just such an anomaly and an outside of the box idea for Buick, and the regular GN was a quick car in its day, but with a much cheaper and arguably better built Mustang LX, it was a drivers race. Both were low 14 second cars but the Mustang actually could corner and took to mods extremely well. The G body was loonng in the tooth and the last hurrah gnx was a 21 gun salute to see it off. Collectors knew it'd be valuable but the only real ace up its sleeve was being +/- 1 second quicker for a lot more money. Very antiquated design and the build quality left a lot to get desired. Quick, nice looking cars to be sure. But overhyped for what it actually delivered
You forget they respond almost like no other vehicles to modifications. Mine is a minor build. Safe horsepower for longevity. 500hp/600tq. This is on a stock block. 3inch down pipe, t/a headers, TE 60 turbo, 2.5 pypes exhaust, upgraded fuel pump, razor alcohol injection. Also they don't handle as bad as people say either. I tell you what it handles better than any 60s or 70s same size muscle cars. I still run factory wheels. I think bigger wheels and better tire help. Also from the factory they are missing key body mounts that the GNX came from the factory with. It helps stiffin up the frame a lot. My car does a 11.5 quater mile. Close to a stock camaro zl1.
I want someone to make a GPX. A blacked out GRAND PRIX with the gnx power plant. I love the buick, but the gp I'd marry.
Limited production numbers ?
Yeah. Only 30000 cars were made. Compare to most production vehicles 30k compared to 2 million dodge challenges, 2015 to 2024 10 million mustangs. Yeah the grandnational is pretty low production.
They got squashed by BigDaddyGM... They didn't fail, they understood the assignment...too well.
Not the first time....They made Pontiac chill out cause they were putting the flagships of Camaro and Corvette to shame. The Firebird got castrated before production.
False statement
Not a failure at all. They went out with a bang!
So exactly how is this a failure?
