Drake Might Be Buying A Mercedes CLK GTR
A celebrity buying a supercar is hardly news, and even less so when itâs a rapper buying a Mercedes. However, this is an interesting one – Drake seems to be putting energy into manifesting a Mercedes CLK GTR.
Weâre speculating here a little, as the Canadian rapper has posted an image on Instagram of an example of the car that DK Engineering had for sale last year, with the caption âSoon I hopeâ.
If heâs been reading the advert for that car, itâs too late as itâs long since sold. Itâs hardly like theyâre common either – just 25 examples of the hardtop homologation special were ever made.
Had he looked sooner than later, Drake couldâve had his hands on a choice of a coupe or a roadster in November when an example of each was being auctioned alongside the Las Vegas Grand Prix in November.
Lord knows if heâd been in the mix, but his deep pockets wouldâve been needed to be successful in that auction. The roadster sold for $10,235,000 (approx. ÂŁ8m) while RM Sothebyâs hasnât revealed what the coupe went for. Weâd imagine a similar price.

Weâre not aware of any examples of the car currently for sale, but weâre sure if Drake is keen enough he will have the connections to turn nothings into somethings.
With an AMG-built, 6.9-litre V12 producing 604bhp and 572lb ft of torque, we can certainly see why the rapper would want to own it. As long as heâs happy to do without Tuscan leather or a digital dash.
It would also join a fairly eclectic collection of Mercedesâ he owns. If reports are to be believed, he has (or has at least had at some stage) a Maybach S600 Pullman, an SLR McLaren, a Brabus 850 and a one-of-99 Maybach G650 Laudaulet at some stage.Â
