Wow, I did not expected it is so "heavy". I thought it is, a way, lighter. But never mind!
A dream car!

How have not I already commented on this car?
CLK-GTR is absolutely astonishing car. Fast as hell. True race car. And its sound! Even though I have never heard the actual sound of its fire-bursting AMG V12, but I remember from playing NFS HP2, CLK-GTR sounded just magnificent, very "Kompressorish". And it's just goddamn beautiful, its LeMans body shape is stunning, and painted red - just a bomb!
I wish so much the times of omologation race cars were back today...

That does not work.
If it is your favorite Mercedes, it is your favorite CLK too. ;D

I believe the Super Sport has 720hp. And weighed closer to 2200lbs.
But it is hard to find accurate info on a one off car.

thats not correct... there is only one CLK GTR Super Sport...chassie number 17 of the CLK GTR production...
Chassie number 3 owned by Mr.Mohammed Bin Sulayem which was shown at 5th gear with Janson Plato behind the wheel was a normal CLK GTR that was later turned into super sport spec and bejoned with 710hp..
The only Super Sport was delivered in the red as shown abouve but was later transfered back to HWA the company who raced the CLK GTR for Mercedes and turned into a silver outside red inside.. today it is in the USA.
