Since its production in 1997, the CLK nameplate has established its distinct Mercedes-Benz face that’s now imprinted in the hearts of car enthusiasts. Not to mention, its most recognizable iteration is the CLK GTR, which in its form, is intimidating to look at. It’s also included among the most insane sports cars not everyone can own, as there are only 26 units of it were made.
