Drake Might Be Buying A Mercedes CLK GTR
A celebrity buying a supercar is hardly news, and even less so when itās a rapper buying a Mercedes. However, this is an interesting one – Drake seems to be putting energy into manifesting a Mercedes CLK GTR.
Weāre 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 āSoon I hopeā.
If heās been reading the advert for that car, itās too late as itās long since sold. Itās hardly like theyāre common either – just 25 examples of the hardtop homologation special were ever made.
Had he looked sooner than later, Drake couldāve 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 heād been in the mix, but his deep pockets wouldāve been needed to be successful in that auction. The roadster sold for $10,235,000 (approx. Ā£8m) while RM Sothebyās hasnāt revealed what the coupe went for. Weād imagine a similar price.

Weāre not aware of any examples of the car currently for sale, but weāre 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 heās happy to do without Tuscan leather or a digital dash.
It would also join a fairly eclectic collection of Mercedesā 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.Ā
