HRE Wheels | Behind the Scenes - Photoshoot of a Mercedes CLK-GTR (1 of 25 ever made)

Today we go behind the scenes of a photoshoot we recently had with a Mercedes CLK-GTR, one of the most rare and beloved cars ever produced by any manufacturer. A road-going race car, the Mercedes CLK-GTR still looks, sounds and feels like a modern hypercar, with incredible attention to detail that commands respect.

Here's a few shots and videos from our blessed day checking out this incredibly rare beast!

Nice! Chassis #01 and has the upgraded SuperSport engine just like chassis #17. I saw that car back when Don Wallace used to own it...standard rims at the time. Sold at auction for a pretty good bargain imo ($1.1mm in 2012). I never got a good look at the black wheels it wore around Monterey last time around the auctions...I assumed they were the standard multispoked ones painted black. Thanks for the photos and videos!

 

Got a few more teasers from the photoshoot!
