The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR is arguably the most extreme homologation special ever produced — a car that exists only because FIA regulations required a minimum road car production run for GT1 competition eligibility. Between 1998 and 1999, Mercedes-AMG built exactly 25 CLK GTR Straßenversion (road version) coupes, each at a reported cost of approximately DM 1.5 million. An additional five roadsters were produced, bringing the total to 30 examples of all body styles.
The road car shares its fundamental architecture with the race car that won the 1997 and 1998 FIA GT Championship and competed at Le Mans. The mid-rear mounted engine is the M120 6.9-litre naturally aspirated V12 — producing 612 horsepower through a 6-speed sequential manual gearbox, driving the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential. The carbon fibre body, push-rod suspension, and racing-derived braking system make the CLK GTR one of the most visceral and demanding road cars ever produced.
This 1998 example is presented in original, unmodified factory specification with very low mileage, matching numbers (chassis, engine, gearbox verified), and a full service history. It has never been involved in an accident and has been carefully preserved. Complete factory documentation and provenance are available to verified qualified buyers.
The CLK GTR's combination of extreme rarity (25 units), direct racing provenance, V12 power, and museum-grade significance makes it one of the most investment-grade automobiles in existence. Recent examples have traded in the €8–12 million EUR range at major auction houses.

Authoritative sources on the CLK GTR's engineering, racing history, and homologation significance.
Mercedes-AMG produced only 25 road-legal CLK GTR Straßenversion coupes between 1998 and 1999, to satisfy FIA GT1 homologation requirements for the 1997 and 1998 FIA GT Championship. An additional 5 roadsters were also produced (total 30 across all body styles). The 25-unit coupe run is among the most limited production of any factory road car in history.
Yes. This is one of the 25 officially homologated road-going units produced by Mercedes-AMG. It is matching numbers — chassis, engine, and gearbox are original and verified by Mercedes-Benz documentation. The car remains in original, unmodified factory specification.
The CLK GTR is a true homologation special — the road car exists solely because FIA GT1 regulations required 25 production units for competition eligibility. The result is a road car that is essentially the same as the FIA GT1 race car, built with racing carbon fibre, racing suspension, V12 power, and direct Le Mans pedigree. With only 25 coupes worldwide, it is among the rarest and most significant production cars ever made.
