The first that says something along the lines of “huh, but that’s still a CLK GTR and many of them are around the 25 street-legal car built”.

And that’s going to happen, just watch. Back to what matters! The Mercedes CLK LM, therefore, is the successor of that described above, CLK GTR. Exactly how it is, with the number of street versions had to be built to meet the regulations to meet, I have never fully understood. What in any case is clear is that there is of the CLK LM two straatlegale copies are built to the various raceorganisaties keeping them happy.

The biggest difference between the successful GTR and also fast LM is the number of cylinders. The GTR was powered by a real V12, where the LM is a lighter and less complex V8 under the hood. More info about that you can read HERE. It is also the rest of the car entirely from the ground up rebuilt. It is not simply a CLK GTR with a different block in and ready to go.

The CLK LM were as mentioned two straatlegale copies were built, of which one was killed in the mandatory crash test. So keep one copy on (chassis number 002) and that you can see here on the photos an improper amount of shine pack. Cool thing, right? Photos via Caradisiac.
