CLK-GTR Roadster To Be Auctioned (again)

Another rare gem is going to be auctioned next month. It's the stunning roadster variant of the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR of which only six units were ever built. The road going race car is powered by a 6.9-liter V12 producing 612 Hp and a massive 775 Nm of torque. It weights just 1,440 kilograms and has a top speed of 320 km/h (200 mph). It was, back in 2003, the most expensive production car ever built.

Expect it to sell for at least $1.5 million since this less rare coupé version was already sold for $1.1million one year ago. The car will be auctioned at the Charlotte Convention Center Auction that will take place between October 31st and November 3rd. More pictures in the gallery below.
