There were three similar Mercedes race cars in the late 90's...The CLK GTR (V12) from '97/'98...the CLK LM (V8) which took over from the CLK-GTR in '98 and the CLR (V8) from '99 which is the car that flipped at Le Mans in '99
The CLR based (very, very loosely) on the W215 CL road car not the W208 CLK like the CLK GTR and CLK LM...with the 'R' on the end denoting that it's a race version
It's not CLR 'GTP' either, GTP was just the category it raced in at Le Mans and not part of the cars name
Love everything about this car, too bad there're are only 20 and only about 10 are hard top, oh, yeah and the extremely high cost if someone were to sell one.
I guess it's because of cars like this and the Porsche GT1 being around for over a decade why I feel a little underwhelmed by stuff like the Enzo and Zonda.. even the Carrera GT to a lesser extent.
I hope we see more cars like this in future but, sadly, the way things are global economy wise, climate etc. that's seriously unlikely.
Yeah closest I've ever been excited about seeing a car after this era was maybe the Masaratti MC12, and that's just because It reminded me of this....
They stopped making the race version after it took off three times, one rather spectacularly ending up in the trees at Le Mans, after Mark Webbers car becoming airborne twice before that. Car is also in PGR2/3 and in Forza 1 & 2 where it is mega fast
Um dude you a confused which is my polite way of saying WRONG. The CLK-GTR NEVER FLIPPED. What you are talking about was the CLK CLR which came AFTER the CLK GTR. The CLR program was cancelled not the Glk Gtr. Race version? All Clk Gtr's are race version cars.
sorry but there are not seven or 20. If you paid any attention to the vid, you would see that on the speedo it say limited edition 9 / 25. Well 30 in fact since there are 5 roadsters. I was lucky enough to be in number 5 / 5
THere are only 20 Coupe's and 5 Roadsters making that 25 not 30.
And mercedes has 3 roadsters, and only 2 were sold to the public. The black one is currently on sale at an auction coming up soon, and the silver one resides somewhere in the US. Your claims are false.....
There are 25 Coupés! The GT1 reglement requires 25 road going versions. So there are 25, built from November '98 to mid '99. The 5 roadsters came in 2002.
I don't care how unpractical this care might be, is still one of the most amazing cars in the world. I think the only car that i like more then this is the Porsche 911 GT1 Evo 'Strassenversion' and maybe the new Pagani Zonda R. They are like pieces of art. The car looks and seems so intimidating, but i would describe it like a elegant beast. I never get bored of seeing and hearing this car.
How many did they make, less then 50? Anyway that's more then the Porsche 911 GT1 street version :)
Definitely less than 20.....if I ever see one on ebay I'd borrow the money....I probably wouldn't care if I won't be able to pay it back.....the CLK GTR is just a dream for everybody.....with the exception of the less than twenty people who own one.....
lol.....I'd be the luckiest person in the world if I had one of these......making the CLK GTR a production vehicle was only a publicity move by AMG......so we're actually lucky that there are still some CLK GTRs around that are still in working condition.....
Well I'll keep her in good condition by giving her a nice spin twice or thrice a month and pushing her maybe once in two months.....I wouldn't want to let her rust away.....these things are RARE......just like the F-1 rocket engines.....man.....the fuel pumps ON THEIR OWN were like 55,000 horsepower.....EACH FREAKING ONE......imagine that.....
es gab noch einen GTR mit 7,3l und 661 PS, Vmax über 330 km/h....

I adore the clk gtr, but I don't get the idea of making a race car resemble a road car it has nothing in common with.
I guess it's a marketing strategy but it seems more insulting to the intelligence of their customers...
