Take A CLK GTR On A Rally Stage? This Guy Did!

By -

Putting a CLK GTR through its paces on a rally stage is like mixing water and oil. Luckily someone took video of that alchemy.

How strange the world has become. Up is down, left is right, and CLK GTRs are being used on rally stages now. We were in awe while watching this video at MBWorld, since the CLK GTR roadster is a seriously expensive supercar. Yet it gets right down and dirty on a field doing donuts and then blasts down a rally stage near a local Concours-style car show.

With more than 700 horsepower to the rear wheels, the owner of this car isn’t bashful about using the power, and we like that. Cars, as we see them, are meant to be driven. While some may say, “What’s he doing with a car that expensive?!,” applaud this guy for actually using his supercar. If you think of the engineers who poured countless hours of dedication and love into this car, we’d like to think they would agree as well.

We couldn’t think of anyone better to own the car either since all too often these cars sit tucked away under a car cover for no one to see. Not this one. Definitely not this one.
