Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR

The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR (W297) is a sports car and race car that was built by Mercedes-AMG, performance and motorsports arm of Mercedes-Benz. Intended for racing in the new FIA GT Championship series in 1997, the CLK GTR was designed primarily as a race car, with the road cars made in order to meet homologation requirments. The limited production road-going cars are considered racing cars for the road. After competing successfully in 1997, the race car was upgraded in 1998 for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and renamed the CLK LM. The project would end in 1999.

Only 25 were built, with five of those units being roadsters. A 6.9-liter V-12 that churns out over 600 hp is mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox. Its carbon fiber chassis, intricate suspension set up, and carbon-fiber disc brakes still impress today as much as they did in the mid-1990s.

Today the CLK GTR is highly collectible and good examples easily command in excess of $ 2m.

Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay paring Ferrari collection

Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay is paring his Ferrari collection. Two of his prized Ferraris will go under the hammer next month. The pair up for sale at the Silverstone Auctions includes Jay Kay’s first supercar — a 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello. The Pininfarina-designed 550M features a 5.5-litre V12 engine producing 485bhp – good for a 0-60mph sprint in 4.3sec and a top speed of 199mph. It’s the last front-engined, rear-wheel drive V12 manual model ever to come out of Maranello. It is expected to sell for £135,000-160,000.

Also on the block is Jay Kay’s 2011 Ferrari FF — the Italian firm’s first ever four-wheel drive car. The FF has a 6.3-litre V12 engine producing 651bhp, enabling a 0-60mph time of 3.7sec onto a top speed of more than 200mph. With just over 17,000 miles on the clock and its rock star provenance, the FF is expected to fetch between £120,000 and £135,000

2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 boasts 755 horsepower and 715 lb-ft of torque with an engine called LT5. With pushrods instead of its ancestor’s dual overhead cams, this LT5 is an evolution of the 6.2-liter LT4 powering the current Z06. Like the Z06’s engine, this one is capped by an Eaton supercharger. Chevy says the ZR1 will hit 60 mph in less than three seconds, clear the quarter in less than 11, and top out beyond 210 mph.

The ZTK Performance package includes Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber, specific tuning of the magnetorheological dampers, and a mondo wing.

Final pricing for the 2019 ZR1 isn’t set, but it should start just above $120,000 when it reaches dealers in spring 2018.

1967 Shelby GT500 Fastback

In 1967, Shelby was squeezing the C6ME ‘Police Interceptor’ 428 into the mustang which created the GT500. It included a host of upgrades including Holley BJ/BK carburetors, manifolds, RUGS-1 transmission, 3.50 Traction-Lok rear end, braking system with KH calipers and drums, a louvered hood, inboard driving lights, and optional 10-spoke wheels with Goodyear tires. Power was 355 bhp @ 5400 rpm.

The GTs lost their Cobra tag for 1969 and were marketed simply as Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500. Carroll Shelby terminated his agreement with Ford in the summer of 1969.

For 1967, the GT350 carried a "Ford Cobra" V8 (FE Series 428 cu.in.) engine with two 600 CFM Holly four-barrel carburetors sitting atop a mid-rise Aluminum intake manifold.

2,048 examples of the GT500 Fastback were produced in 1967. Haggerty suggests $247,000 for a concours example.
