'99 Mercedes CLK GTR Roadster goes to auction

One of the most iconic sports car designs has to be the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR. Only 35 CLK GTR’s were ever built and only six of them were roadsters, one of which is going up for auction on 26 June at the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The impressive 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster is sure to bring in a healthy sum - experts expect it to reel in bids of up to US$2.8 million. The stunning ride boasts a 6.9-litre V12 engine that tops out at 604hp; it has a 0 to 62mph time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 199mph. 

With plenty of power and meticulous attention to detail, this is definitely one of the most desirable rare cars on the road. What do you think?
