FBI seizes one of the rarest supercars in the world, worth $13 million: Who did
Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR

The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, one of the most extreme and rare homologation special cars ever created by AMG in the late 90s, was at the center of one of the FBI's most impressive operations and was seized from wanted former Olympic champion Ryan Wedding.

The FBI seized a 2002 CLK GTR Roadster, worth approximately $13 million, as part of Operation Giant Slalom, which targets the international drug cartel of former Olympic snowboarder and now FBI Top 10 Most Wanted fugitive Ryan Wedding.

An exotic construction, only six in the world

The CLK GTR is the result of a golden age for manufacturers chasing glory at Le Mans. To participate, they had to produce several street-legal copies. Thus were born such “monsters” as the Porsche 911 GT1, the Nissan R390 and, of course, “their” Mercedes.

Of the 28 CLK GTRs ever built, only 6 were roadsters, and this convertible version is considered even more valuable. Under its hood is a 6.0-liter V12 engine, which produces almost 600 horsepower and reaches 7,000 rpm, through a 6-speed sequential gearbox.

The supercar of an "invisible" baron

This particular CLK GTR belonged to Ryan Wedding, who is accused of running a multinational cocaine trafficking ring with illegal revenues exceeding a billion dollars a year. US authorities compare him to names such as Escobar and El Chapo, while they believe he is hiding in Mexico.

FBI seizes one of the rarest supercars in the world, worth $13 million: Who did

The FBI is offering an epic $15 million reward for information leading to his capture, which is almost enough to buy the CLK GTR itself, if it ends up at auction.

What will happen to the CLK GTR?

That remains unknown. It is most likely that it will be auctioned, as is the case with other confiscated luxury assets. However, with its rarity and "dark" history, its value could increase even more.

One thing is for sure: every appearance of a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster is news in itself. And this is probably the most “cinematic” model we’ve seen in years.
