Couldn't find a thread

Anyhow, this first batch is thanks to "style" on SuperCarFrance.

Even though the racing version of this car made history by its dominance on the racetrack, I have always thought the road version of this car to be quite ugly.

The most exotic street-legal Mercedes-Benz I know of. Having one of these in the garage seperates the real Mercedes enthusiasts $$$ from everybody else.

The real enthusiast would have one of these - The 99 CLRs.

In total, four CLRs were constructed by HWA and of those, two remain in existence. The surviving #6 car, with yellow mirrors was never raced again, and it is not shown at the Mercedes-Benz Museum, apparently having been sold to a private collector. It was driven in 2001 at the Hockenheimring, and in June 2009 on the Nürburgring[3][4]. At least one CLR was exhibited in 2008 as part of an event for driver Bernd Schneider.[5]

The car was amazing, it is actually lower than even an F1 car, but of course all that came to naught once it started flying around.







As for the CLK GTR, it was an amazing looking car. I once saw a black one at a the montrey car show, and transfixed for the better part of an hour.

But as a street cars, they were pretty flawed (like most other homogenized GT racers) with huge turning circles, no rear ward visiblity, and chance of the hot exhaust setting the car on fire.
