This is a 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR Roadster – one of the rarest supercars on the planet, with only six units built. These images are not from an auction website, but were released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
This CLK-GTR Roadster, worth about $13 million, is not for sale, but was seized by the FBI from Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic athlete turned fugitive. According to the agency, Wedding was heading a global drug and money-laundering operation and allegedly trafficked “tons of cocaine” into the United States.
Wedding, who once represented Canada in the 2002 Olympics, was on the FBI’s Most Wanted list and had a $15 million reward on his head.
The FBI seized multiple assets belonging to Wedding during a recent raid, including the CLK-GTR Roadster, which might be forfeited if Wedding is convicted. The car might eventually come up for sale at a government auction.
The CLK-GTR Roadster is a homologation special based on the CLK-GTR Le Mans race car. It is powered by a 6.9-liter V12 engine that produces 604 hp and 572 lb-ft of torque and comes paired with a 6-speed sequential manual transmission.
