赛车文化不仅仅在赛道上。车手的生活方式、时尚、旅行、设计和那些让赛车不仅仅是一项运动的故事
管理一级方程式锦标赛的巨大压力需要找到在比赛周末之间放松的方法。对于梅赛德斯车队负责人托托·沃尔夫来说,在美国大奖赛之前放松似乎包括驾驶这辆罕见的、最昂贵、最激进的公路车之一,在赌场广场上悠闲地驾驶
就在一场艰苦、潮湿的新加坡大奖赛后的几天,这位亿万富翁赛车运动执行官被Instagram账号@monaco_luxurystyle拍摄到在公国阳光明媚的街道上驾驶一辆银色的梅赛德斯-奔驰CLK GTR。
即使在摩纳哥,一个布加迪和法拉利泛滥的城市,CLK GTR也能完全阻止交通。
这辆车是一种"认证特殊车"——一种专为满足FIA规定而建造的合法街道车,以便将其赛车版本进入1997年FIA GT锦标赛。为了合法地在赛道上竞争,梅赛德斯-奔驰不得不为公众客户生产一小批汽车。结果是,一辆碳纤维单体壳怪物,装备了一台中置的6.9升自然吸气AMG V12发动机。
这款CLK GTR拥有惊人的604马力,572磅英尺的扭矩,基本上是一款穿着皮革座椅和空调的勒芒式耐力赛车。
在开阔的道路上发现CLK GTR是一件极其罕见的事件。梅赛德斯-奔驰总共只生产了28辆:两个原型车,20辆双门轿跑车和六辆敞篷车。
由于其极端的稀缺性和在汽车纯粹主义者中的神话般地位,过去十年中,该车辆的价值已经飙升。当它在1997年首次亮相时,被吉尼斯世界纪录认证为世界上最昂贵的量产车,售价约为150万美元。
如今,这些数字已经呈指数级增长。六款敞篷车之一最近在RM Sotheby's拍卖中以令人震惊的1023.5万美元的价格售出,而双门轿跑车在私下里通常能卖出八位数的估值。
当新秀车手奇米·安东内利在欧洲秋季的秋风中为他在奥斯汀2026年世界车手锦标赛的参赛机会做准备时,他的老板显然正在驾驶梅赛德斯历史的巅峰之作享受着秋天的美景。

Toto Wolff spotted cruising Monaco in a $10million Mercedes Unicorn
Toto Wolff was spotted driving an ultra-rare, $10million Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR through the streets of Monaco
Motorsport culture beyond the track. Driver lifestyle, fashion, travel, design and the stories that make racing more than a sport.
Managing the immense pressure of a Formula 1 championship battle requires finding ways to disconnect between race weekends. For Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, unwinding ahead of the United States Grand Prix apparently involves taking one of the rarest, most expensive, and most aggressive road cars ever built for a casual drive through Casino Square.
Just days after a gruelling, humidity-soaked Singapore Grand Prix, the billionaire motorsport executive was filmed by the Instagram account @monaco_luxurystyle navigating the sun-drenched streets of the Principality in a silver Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR.
Even in Monaco, a city overflowing with Bugattis and Ferraris, the CLK GTR completely stops traffic.
The vehicle is a "homologation special" - a street-legal car built specifically to satisfy the FIA regulations required to enter the racing version in the 1997 FIA GT Championship. To legally compete on the track, Mercedes-Benz had to produce a small batch of cars for public customers. The result was a carbon-fibrecarbon fibreum monocoque monster housing a mid-mounted 6.9-litre naturally aspirated AMG V12 engine.
Producing a staggering 604 horsepower and 572 pound-feet of torque, the road-going CLK GTR was essentially a Le Mans-style endurance racer dressed up with leather seats and air conditioning.
Spotting a CLK GTR on the open road is an incredibly rare event. Mercedes-Benz only ever built 28 examples in total: two prototypes, 20 coupes, and six roadsters.
Because of that extreme scarcity and its mythical status among automotive purists, the vehicle's value has skyrocketed over the last decade. When it debuted in 1997, it was certified by Guinness as the world's most expensive production vehicle with a price tag of roughly $1.5million.
Today, those figures have multiplied exponentially. One of the six roadster variants was recently sold at an RM Sotheby's auction for a jaw-dropping $10,235,000, and the coupes routinely command massive eight-figure valuations behind closed doors.
While rookie sensation Kimi Antonelli preps for his shot at the 2026 World Drivers' Championship in Austin, his boss is clearly enjoying the European autumn behind the wheel of the ultimate piece of Mercedes history.
