The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR (W297) is a sports car and race car produced by Mercedes-AMG, the 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 necessary in order to meet homologation standards being secondary in the car's design. Thus the limited production of road-going cars are considered racing cars for the road. After competing successfully in 1997, the race car was modified in 1998 for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and renamed the CLK LM.

Following the design that Porsche had laid out with their 911 homologation special, the GT1, Mercedes-AMG was tasked by Mercedes-Benz with creating an extreme racing car that still maintained some elements of a normal street legal car. AMG's designers and engineers designed and developed a car which shared some design elements with the Mercedes-Benz CLK, yet had all the standard features of a racing car underneath. A Mercedes-Benz M120 V12 engine would be at the heart of the car, mounted behind the cockpit. The bodywork would be made entirely of carbon fibre, and would have many aerodynamic design elements and cooling vents in order to survive on the race track.

After conquering the FIA GT Championship, Mercedes-Benz set its sights on competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1998 after their departure in 1991. Mercedes-AMG set about to modify the CLK GTR in order to meet the new demands required at Le Mans. They decided to use the M119 HL V8 engine from Sauber C9/Sauber C11 which raced in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as Mercedes-AMG felt that the M119HL would have better reliability at speeds while still providing the same amount of power output as the M120 due to air restrictor regulations. The turbochargers were removed and other revised components were added in order to achieve high rpm.The modified engine was designated as GT108 B.

Satisfied with the engine, Mercedes-AMG also set about altering the bodywork to better cope with the high speeds achieved at Le Mans. The nose was lowered and the large front brake cooling ducts on the sides of the nose were removed and replaced by a single, large opening in the front of the car. The roof of the car was also lowered and a new engine air intake was designed for better engine cooling along with various other mechanical modifications. This new car would come to be known as the CLK LM, with the LM designation standing for Le Mans.
