Mercedes-BenzCLK GTR
The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR is a GT1 sports car built and produced by Mercedes-Benz in conjunction with their then motorsport partner AMG. Intended for racing in the new FIA GT Championship series in 1997, the CLK GTR was designed primarily as a race car. As such, the production of road cars necessary in order to meet homologation standards of GT1 was a secondary consideration in the car's design, i.e. the CLK GTR was a homologation special.

This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: production chronology. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Road-legal homologation version of the CLK-LM Le Mans GT1 racer (already catalogued separately as 'CLK LM'); 28 built (2 prototypes, 6 roadsters, 20 coupes), over $1.5M new. Production count corroborated by Wikipedia; one secondary source (ultimatecarpage.com) cites 25 road cars instead — flagged as a minor source discrepancy, not resolved.
