About the Mercedes CLK LM GT1 #1 AMG Mercedes K. Ludwig / R. Zonta FIA GT Championship 1998 Maisto 1:18

TL;DR: Maisto's 1:18 diecast reproduces the #1 AMG Mercedes CLK LM GT1 of Klaus Ludwig and Ricardo Zonta from the 1998 FIA GT Championship. Diecast construction captures the widened bodywork and factory livery of one of the era's dominant GT1 racing cars.

GT1 racing in the late 1990s produced some of the most extreme silhouette race cars ever built, and Mercedes' CLK LM sat right at the sharp end of that arms race.

The CLK LM's Dominant 1998 Season

Built around a CLK road-car silhouette but bearing almost nothing mechanically in common with it, the CLK LM was AMG Mercedes' purpose-built GT1 weapon, and Klaus Ludwig and Ricardo Zonta drove the #1 car during a 1998 season in which the works Mercedes team dominated the FIA GT Championship. Wide box-arch bodywork, a towering rear wing and deep front splitter mark the car out immediately from any road-going CLK, changes this diecast reproduces faithfully alongside the factory Mercedes-AMG livery from that title-winning campaign. For collectors of 1990s GT racing, the CLK LM represents one of the class's most visually extreme and competitively successful cars.

Diecast Presence for a GT1-Era Icon

Maisto's diecast delivers real weight and the widened bodywork proportions that made the CLK LM such a distinctive silhouette against, at 1:18 scale, giving the model genuine shelf presence next to other late-1990s GT1 machinery from Porsche, McLaren and Nissan. Set beside its road-car namesake, the transformation from CLK saloon-coupe to full GT1 racer becomes obvious at a glance, a contrast that makes for a compelling paired display. For a Mercedes motorsport or FIA GT Championship themed shelf, this CLK LM anchors one of the era's genuinely dominant seasons.
