1999 Mercedes-Benz

CLK GTR Roadster

One of six CLK GTR Roadsters, sitting in raw morning sun against the grey concrete of a design-district industrial block. Homologation special turned open-top road car: the Le Mans-derived 6.9-litre V12 behind the seats, the roll hoops standing in for a roof, and those gold BBS wire-look wheels tucked under fenders that are pure GT1 racer. Silver on concrete, nothing else in the frame — which is exactly how this car deserves to be seen.
