CLK-LM '98

To compete in the newly established FIA GT Championship in 1997, Mercedes-Benz and AMG developed the CLK-GTR in just 128 days. Equipped with a V-12 engine, the car proved immediately successful, securing both the team and driver championships in its debut season. The following year, Mercedes introduced the CLK-LM as an evolution model. It made its debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, going on to dominate the FIA GT Championship, winning all 10 rounds and clinching the season title.

This CLK-LM is one of the most attractive race cars produced by Mercedes-Benz. It only competed for a few years in the late 1990s, racing in GT1, which was then the pinnacle of Touring Car competition. GT1-class regulations required an automaker to build only one street car to be approved for competition. Despite their appearance, these street cars were in fact full-on race machines. The CLK-LM's predecessor, the CLK-GTR, was produced in accordance to these regulations in 1997. When the FIA GT World Championships began that same year, the CLK-GTR took home the title. This CLK-LM was a further evolution of the CLK-GTR. The replacement of the V-12 engine with a V-8 improved the race car's overall balance. As soon as it took to the track in the '98 FIA-GT Championships, it absolutely dominated the competition. That year, it took home both Drivers' and Manufacturers' Championships.

The AMG Mercedes CLK-LM '98 can be acquired from the Legend Cars dealer. It was last added on February 17, 2026 for Cr. 8,500,000.
