Today, we delve into the realm of automotive legends with Doug DeMuro as he uncovers the rare and iconic 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR. This road-legal beast, born from the world of GT1 racing, is a true gem with only 28 units ever crafted, each commanding a staggering $10-15 million price tag. With a roaring 6.9L V12 engine churning out 625 horsepower, this machine is not for the faint-hearted.

Despite its racing roots, the CLK GTR surprises with shared parts from regular Mercedes-Benz models, including the key, door handles, and lights. However, step inside, and you'll encounter a world of uniqueness, from fixed seats to a peculiar manual transmission with paddle shifters. The interior boasts racing harnesses, climate control, and a radio, blending practicality with high-performance.

But the CLK GTR doesn't stop there. It flaunts distinctive features like a massive door sill housing storage compartments and a six-disc CD changer. While some elements may remind you of other Mercedes models from the era, this machine stands out with its bespoke touches and unparalleled driving experience. In the world of automotive rarities, the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR reigns supreme, a true testament to engineering excellence and racing pedigree.
