The Most Expensive Production Car in 1998! Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR

Подробнее о видео

Ever dreamed of piloting a Le Mans monster with a license plate? The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR is exactly that—born for endurance racing but forced onto the streets to satisfy homologation rules. Only 25 road-going versions exist, each packing a naturally aspirated 6.9L V12 that bellows out 622 horsepower. It was the world’s most expensive production car in 1998, priced at a jaw-dropping $1.5 million. But here’s the kicker—despite being street legal, it has no trunk, barely any ground clearance, and driving one feels like strapping yourself to a missile. If you had one, would you take it on the autobahn or straight to the track?

The CLK GTR wasn’t just fast—it was a track assassin. It dominated the FIA GT Championship, obliterating competition before being banned because nothing else could keep up. And let’s not forget the infamous 1999 Le Mans disaster, where its sibling, the CLR, took flight at over 200 mph—twice. That’s the level of aerodynamics at play here, right on the razor’s edge between brilliance and insanity. If you could own one of these unicorns, would you go for the silver coupe or the even rarer roadster variant?
