Feel like driving Bernd Schneider‘s DTM CLK
To celebrate Bernd Schneider’s 2003 DTM-championship victory AMG embarked on an ambitious project to create the ultimate expression of its motorsport success. The resulting CLK DTM AMG was unveiled in 2004 as a strictly limited-production model, with just 100 coupes and 80 cabriolets, powered by AMG's supercharged 5.5-liter V-8. Yet rarer still was a small badge of experimental vehicles developed behind closed doors at Affalterbach. Dubbed „CLK DTM AMG P900“, they were built as engineering prototypes and a development platform for the first powerplant developed entirely in-house: the normally-aspirated 6,2 litre-V8 (M156.)
This car is one of only four CLK DTM AMG P900 built and one of just two believed to have survived. It features many components unique to the P900 program, including Lexan windows, carbon fiber doors, ventilated front wings, DTM-style mirrors, front canards, and a twin-fin rear wing. It was retained by AMG and AMG USA for demonstration and development purposes before entering private ownership. It is also reported to be the sole surviving car carrying an authentic DTM chassis number. As a unique fusion of prototype engineering, DTM racing technology, and AMG craftsmanship this rare DTM CLK displaying fewer than 225 km at cataloguing and is now set to cross the block at RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction in mid-August.
Fox on the run
Let's be honest: When we think of a Ford Mustang, the third-generation models aren't the first ones that spring to our US-Muscle car inspired mind. Using the company's Fox platform, Ford built these Pony Cars from 1979–1993, colloquially called “Fox body” Mustangs. But more recently these square and boxy cars stepped out of the shadow of their iconic predecessors and enjoyed rising attention among enthusiasts, not least thanks to a spacious engine bay which make these Mustangs popular among the aftermarket performance industry.
This Convertible from 1988 currently offered in Belgium belongs to the small contingent of Fox-Mustangs imported by Ford Germany. It’s powered by the legendary High Output (H.O.)302 cu V 8, paired with the T-5 Borg Warner 5-speed gearbox. Equipped with the original GT package its finished in Oxford White over a cloth interior in Scarlet Red. The car already displays the elements of a major restyling introduced for MY 1987: The restyled front end provided a rounded-off "aero" style with flush-composite headlamps, grille-less nose and round foglamps. Complemented by aerodynamic lower bodyside skirting in a contrasting grey color.
Over the past five years, this Fox Body Mustang has benefitted from extensive maintenance and the replacement of some vital components. Be it at your next Mustang enthusiasts club meeting or while cruising along your local Main Street – this Pony Car will surely turn many heads.
Last rear-wheel-drive hero
The Lancia 037 was the last rear-driven car to win the WRC manufacturer’s title. That was in the year 1983 and before the advent of the all-conquering 4WD Integrales. Apart from the Martini sponsored works cars 037s were also entered by renowned private reams, among them the one run by independent French Lancia importer André Chardonnet. Who for 1983 had Jean-Claude Andruet, one of France’s most talented all-round drivers of the era, under contract. This 037, currently on offer by Movendi from Düsseldorf (Germany), was completed in July 1983 and is officially registered in the 037 registry as the “Andruet test car. In fact, it belongs to the 200 “Stradale” versions built by Lancia and Abarth to gain the homologation papers for competing in the WRC. It is believed to have been part of Chardonnet’s fleet of training, development, and press cars. Andruet also used it as a reconnaissance vehicle for stage inspections; wearing the same blue and white livery of main sponsors Pioneer and Total as his race 037. Apart from some minor upgrades it was also mechanically close to a Stradale.
The car recently underwent a comprehensive overhaul of the engine and transmission and was famously driven by former Lancia works driver Walter Röhrl (2nd in the WEC drivers’ rankings of 1983) at the 2026 AvD Histo Monte Rally. It has 7.686 miles on the odometer, is remarkably well-preserved and in perfect running condition. This rare combination of historical factory ties and contemporary prominence lends this 037 exceptional authenticity and collector’s appeal.
Maximum Elan
Back in the early 1990s, Lotus swapped glass for goggles with this forward-thinking Elan M200 Concept. Unlike most purely static concept cars, this one-off, based on a blue Elan that was returned by a customer, was first presented at the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show and is totally functional and drivable. Julian Thomson did a great job of adapting the original Peter Stevens design into a more exhilarating alternative to the M100 Elan.
The M200 Speedster concept featured fixed low-profile headlights, a deeper front spoiler, brake cooling ducts, a body-colored, forward angled roll hoop and a subtle rear wing. For the wrap-around tinted windscreens Thompson took inspiration from windshields of a Ferrari 312 B F1 from the 1970s while interior designer David Brisbourne claims he took inspiration from female swimwear. But it’s the separated cockpit which is almost more spectacular than the vibrant yellow bodywork.
Underneath the dramatically changed exterior sits the standard 1.6-litre turbocharged Isuzu four-cylinder which sends power through a manual box to the front wheels. This jaw-dropping little Lotus is available with Swiss Andreas Wüest and has covered a mere 100 km.
Reimagining a legend
The Porsche Carrera GT, first unveiled as a concept in 2000, followed by the start of the production model in 2003, was a milestone in Porsche’s history. Due to a carbon fiber monocoque and a normally-aspirated 5,7 liter V10, mounted midships and derived from an abandoned Le Mans-Prototype project. Bruce Canepa, long time Californian Porsche specialist and collectors now took the challenge to „reimagining“ the Carrera GT and to satisfy growing customer demand. This one now on offer is the first of his SPORT Canepa GT, mission #001.
For the new program Canepa approached renowned Carrera GT specialists, Repasi Motorwerks. They received the donor car – a silver 2005 car with just 2,458 miles on the clock – in early 2025 and began their mechanical upgrades with a steel multi-plate clutch and updated camshafts for the sake of superior longevity. Upgraded carbon ceramic brakes allow for improved stopping power but reduced replacement cost and a coilover suspension upgrade with 1.5" body lift allows for improved maneuverability at steep angles. Finally, a custom-made exhaust system raises the power of the V10 by 40+ horsepower and saved 50 pounds. Exterior upgrades comprise Carbon fiber body panels in Liquid Metal Green, roll hoops laminated with exposed carbon fiber, and clear coated for a fantastic finish and engine air intakes painted in the same color as the car, but in a matte finish. The bespoke interior was trimmed in house in Cafe Latte leather with matching Alcantara accents and Porsche square weave carpet inserts.
Completed in March of 2026, the first Carrera GT SC was revealed at the 2026 Amelia Concours to critical acclaim, sparking an interest in future commissions. We are anxious to see what comes next.
