Road & Track CLK GTR Review (Racecar)

It's a review of the Racing version of the CLK GTR.

The performance is downright wicked:

0-97 km/h (60 mph) - 3.4 seconds
0-160 km/h (100 mph) - 5.7 seconds
0-193 km/h (120 mph) - 7.5...
Lateral G's: 1.7 .. !

I'm sure the suspension is one hell of a tight one, stiff and certaintly unforgiving. Of course, this vehicle is running on slick tyres, so that combination of the two mean an extreme G number like that. It's quite amazing! FYI the 2002 Panoz LMP-1 Roadster S achieves a maxinum figure of 1.52g.

Re: Road & Track CLK GTR Review (Racecar)

The most impressive part about this car is not necessarily the handling and acceleration specs, but the time it took to be created. It was concieved from just an idea that Mercedes should enter back into motor racing to a championship winning car in under half a year, if my memory serves me correctly.

Good point! In itself about as amazing as the 1.7 number
