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.
