The CLK-GTR developed for this purpose was the first production racing car from Mercedes-Benz with a mid-engine. Externally the vehicle was inspired by the CLK Coup\u00e9 of the C 208 model series, but it featured advanced racing technology and its V12 engine developed around 441 kW (600 hp) with a displacement of six litres. Bernd Schneider won the driver\u2019s title of the 1997 FIA GT championship in the CLK-GTR, while the brand championship went to AMG-Mercedes. From June in the following year, the further developed CLK-LM equipped with a V8 engine entered the lists. The CLK-LM won every championship race in which it competed, and by season\u2019s end Klaus Ludwig and Ricardo Zonta had captured the driver\u2019s title, while AMG-Mercedes again won the manufacturer\u2019s title.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-0-1536.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1005\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-0-1536.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK LM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-0-1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-0-1536-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-0-1536-1024x670.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-0-1536-100x65.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-0-1536-770x504.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-0-1536-293x192.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-0-1536-1400x916.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-1-1536.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1045\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-1-1536.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK LM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-1-1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-1-1536-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-1-1536-1024x697.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-1-1536-100x68.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-1-1536-770x524.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-1-1536-293x199.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1998_MercedesBenz_CLKLM-1-1536-1400x952.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\r\n                W\u00e4hrend der Rennsaison 1998 wird der CLK-GTR vom CLK-LM abgel\u00f6st, der urspr\u00fcnglich f\u00fcr das 24-Stunden-Rennen von Le Mans entwickelt worden ist.
