Model overview

Model description

Upon withdrawal from the DTM series, Mercedes-Benz set its sights on the new FIA GT Championship, and rules required that a competitor must complete 25 road-going examples of the car it planned to enter in the series. The AMG/HWA-designed and built CLK GTR race version came first, and after building ten such examples and taking the 1997 FIA GT Championship, the required road cars were then built in 1998 by HWA for Mercedes.

This stunning mid-engined homologation special shared the race car’s carbon fiber monocoque and engine/transaxle as a stressed chassis component. The carbon fiber bodywork of this “StraBenversion” (Street Version) was also very similar to the race car with the only nod to a production CLK coupe being the grille and the headlights. Whereas the race version utilized a 6.0-liter motor, the driver of the road version had a 6.9-liter M120 V-12 tucked behind his head. The larger engine produced just over 600 horsepower in street form and made for high 3-second 0-60 times and close to a 200-mph top speed. Keeping all of this performance manageable was suspension and brakes that differed little from that of the race version; however concessions to practicality did include traction control and some comfort conveniences in the cockpit, such as air conditioning, leather upholstery, and fitted luggage.

By the summer of 1999 Mercedes had fulfilled its promise to complete the required number of cars, and in the end 26 road-going cars were built with 20 being coupes and 6 being roadsters. Two right-hand-drive cars were built and several cars were done to Super Sport spec with a more powerful 7.3-liter version of the M120 V-12. In the end, the CLK GTR along with the Porsche GT1 are shining examples of thinly disguised, modern-era race cars that capture the imagination of enthusiasts due to their pushing the boundaries of street performance and legality.

Common Questions

The value of a 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR can vary greatly depending on its condition, mileage, options, and history. Typically, you can expect to pay around $6,500,000 for a 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR in good condition with average spec.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.

Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.

Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.

The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
