Didn't EVO put this on their Top 10 list of worst cars they had ever driven? Compalints about ridiculous oversteer followed by ridiculous understeer, and having to use the strange paddle-shift transmission, which still had a clutch.

I thought the acceleration of the F50 was insane at the beginning, but that CLK was fricken awesome.

like he said in the video it was never ment to be a road car but mercedes had to built them to enter the fia championship.with the gearbox apprently you didnt need to use the clutch but you would have to rebuilt it every 500miles

I'm actually surprised this guy does not own the Toyota GT-ONE road version car. If he had it, it would be the sweetest car collection ever..I like the Porsche 911 GT1 more then the CLK GTR by the way, and the sound of the CLK is ugly compared to the F50

Mohammed Ben Sulayem must have an Enzo as well now, anyway good to see a video up.

nop just one

A total of seven GT-Ones were built in total over the two years of the program. The first six were built in 1998, while the final chassis was built in 1999.

* LM801 - Developmental prototype, never raced.
* LM802 - 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans #29, later a test car.
* LM803 - Road legal version of the GT-One, on display in Europe.
* LM804 - 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans #28, 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans #3, later on display in Japan.
* LM805 - 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans #27, later a test car.
* LM806 - 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans #2.
* LM907 - 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans #1.

TTE also developed the lone GT-One road car, painted red and fitted with a basic interior, and it was quickly put into a museum in Japan, having served the purpose of merely existing.

Ouch, what a shame they didn't produce more of 'em 👎

One was all that was required for homologation, so one was all they built and as Holdenhsvgtsr said its rather unlikely that Toyota will be in a hurry to sell it.

Merc have also said that they lost a hell of a lot of money on each road going version they produced - i doubt Toyota were queing up to lose millions on a car that all the reviews would say was a dreadful road car. No company wants to willingly spend millions on negative press.

one word, insanity 710hp.... crazy
