Toto Wolff drives rare Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR in Monaco
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff was filmed driving a silver CLK GTR in Monaco ahead of the United States Grand Prix.
The car is a road-legal version of a racer that Mercedes built to qualify for the 1997 FIA GT Championship.
Mercedes made only 28 CLK GTRs, including prototypes, coupes and roadsters.
The car has a 6.9-litre V12 engine and was designed around racing performance.
A roadster recently sold for $10,235,000 at an auction, while the article says coupes can reach eight-figure values.
Its scarcity and racing history have helped make it one of the most valuable Mercedes road cars.
Wolff was seen driving it in Monaco; no further plans involving the car were given.
