CLK-Class Pair of Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR road cars to be auctioned by RM in London

Wait...u joking rite....is it confirmed there will be no E coupe AMG....??

Yeah bro, unfortunately it's true.

Yeah it's official. MB said it's because it'd be overkill with the CLS AMG, so the CLS AMG has taken its place...

A 4-door "coupe" taking the spot of a real coupe. How stupid is that.

Now that's a machine. I wonder what Mercedes have planned for this generation CLK. The previous had a DTM version and the one before that a GT-R version.

CLK-GTR has absolutely nothing to do with the road going CLK besides the name. They could have called it the S-GTR and it would have as much in common with S class.

RM Auctions - Automobiles of London, 28 October 2009 - Review - Classic Driver - MAGAZINE - auctions

The two CLK GTRs appeared as consecutive lots later in the sale. Each, a coupé and a roadster, was the only right-hand drive model of its type. As McLaren F1 competitors, the CLK GTR cars, built by hand at HWA (a sister company to AMG), have no equal. Once started, bidding just carried on until the coupé sold for £522,500 (Est. £390,000 – 450,000) and the roadster £616,000 (Est. £430,000 – 500,000).

and this is stunning too…

It took just five lots before the venue was buzzing with the news that the 1969 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Landaulet (Est. £40,000 – 60,000) had finally sold for a jaw-dropping £308,000. It might well end up back at the Mercedes factory for a complete (possibly 1m euros...) restoration.
