Red 75

The rarity in question is a 1998 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR Strassenversion. While its name is quite the mouthful, this high-octane beast represents the pinnacle of German auto engineering and has quite the backstory.

The sleek two-door is actually a riff on the automaker’s formidable CLK GTR racecar, which dominated the FIA GT championships in 1997 and ’98. The Strassenversion or “street version” was limited to just 25 and is especially sought-after among collectors.

Nice set. That's one helluva car right there, the doors and roof scoop alone say racer. I think I'll buy one.

This car was at Lime Rock Park for the VSCCA race.
Plainly, it caught my attention.
