Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster Interior Retrim
The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster is an ultra-rare, open-top variant of the already exclusive CLK GTR, built to showcase the pinnacle of Mercedes-AMG’s racing technology in a street-legal form. Only six roadsters were ever produced, making it one of the rarest production cars in the world. Like the coupe, it was powered by a 6.9 litre naturally aspirated V12, generating around 604 horsepower and capable of reaching 0 to 60mph in about 3.8 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 200 mph.
Unique features include a carbon fibre monocoque chassis, a fully exposed cockpit with no roof mechanism, and ultra-luxurious interior. Built strictly for collectors and enthusiasts, the CLK GTR Roadster cemented its place in automotive history not only through performance but by being a bold statement of 1990s GT1 engineering, with direct lineage to Mercedes’ FIA GT Championship dominance.
Prior to the retrim, this vehicle had a lovely purple leather interior. We are unsure of the reason why the customer wanted to retrim the interior, but the new green leather is a really nice upgrade. The Mercedes-Benz green tartan is also a very cool touch, paying homage to Mercedes-Benz's racing history. We retrimmed the seats, head rests, dashboard, steering wheel, door cards, centre console, carpets, and more. We even created a custom vehicle cover/tonneau as the customer wished to take their car to a car show in Italy. As the CLK GTR Roadsters had no hood/soft top installed, we had to create a completely bespoke cover and mounting setup in order to protect the vehicles interior from any rain.
This job was completed for the amazing team at DK Engineering, who do some of the most incredible work you will see in the automotive world, and on some of the world's most exclusive and sought-after vehicles. They are a company to follow if you do not already.
