Born as an evolution of the 1997 Mercedes CLK GTR, the CLK-LM was unveiled during the 1998 24h of Le Mans, when already two rounds of the 1998 FIA GT Championship were won by the V12-powered CLK GTR. The LM was powered by a NA V8 engine which was not only a lot lighter than the previous V12 but also more reliable since it was based on the 1989 Le Mans-winning engine. The body was revised to be more suitable for the high-speed track (nose and roof were both lowered, reducing the drag considerably). The new car showed its performance in qualifying but during the race some problems forced to retire both cars. Mercedes continued to use the CLK-LM in the 8 following FIA GT rounds winning all of them. Enjoy watching this car driving on the Goodwood hillclimb course during the 2018 Festival of Speed! #CLKLM #MercedesCLKGTR #MercedesCLKLM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have to thank my friends and youtubers Italiansupercarvideo (ht
