and i always think that the CLK-GTR is the most expensive production car in the world
The Japanese economy was at its peak back then. I recalled that a strip of land in front of the Imperical Palace was supposedly worth more than the entire state of California in 1990. crazy stuff.

No, the whole run of 25 was built. They have numbered plaques inside them, all we need to find is a pic of the interior of one with a number greater than 10.

Yep, there where plans for 50 I think, but they eventually only built 25,

and that I'm 199% sure 8)

I was almost sure there were 25 CLK-GTR“s produced, but it“s not easy knowing, theres not a lot of info about the car

A couple of weeks ago there was a Mig 29 8) for sale on
EbaY. I'm not sure how the seller aquired it. The same
guy had a couple of other cool planes for sale also. If you
live in the states forget about a Mig, you're not getting one,
Laury Ellison tride to import one and couldn't and if he can't
chances are more than likely noone can.

ok, i did some magazine digging, and i found the "new" mercedes CLK GTR that is either in ltd. production right now, or has just gotten over with.

its in Motor Trend Oct. 2003 issue on page 53 titled
CLK GTR: back, just for a few
just because they can, five lucky buyers are having new, streetgoing, roaster versions of the CLK GTR Le Mans race cars built by AMG's racing division. a CLK in name (and taillights) only, the mid-engine v-12 pwered GTR cleaned up against porsche and mclaren to win the gt1 championship in 1997. to homologate the car, 25 road legal examples were built in the '90s. this new, limited revival series was presold at an officially undisclosed price---- one that surely reached deep into seven figures. ---K.S.
i would love to have this car so incredibly much!
