  1. Fitted with a 6.9 liter version of the M120 V-12 powerplant, the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR street car pumped out roughly the same horsepower as the 1997 GT1 racing sports car. An exception to this performance equality is an ultra-rare SuperSport model was given a larger 7.3 liter V-12 engine capable of 720-horsepower.

    The skeleton of the CLK GTR Strassenversion is a carbon-fiber and aluminum monocoque; its heart is a 6898-cc, naturally aspirated V-12. Dubbed M297, this 6.9-liter, aluminum-block mill is essentially a stroked version of the race car’s M120 V-12.

    Starting with the mid-mounted engine, the CLK GTR racecar used a 6.0L L600 V12 derived from the M120 V12, while the StraßenVersion similarly had its basis with the M120, but instead used a larger 6.9 L variant called the M297 making a whopping 604 hp - and later powering the Pagani Zonda.
