The Pop Race Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK-GTR FIA GT Championship 1997 brings one of the defining GT1-era racing machines into a compact 1:64 scale die-cast collectible. This release recreates the #10 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK-GTR in its period-correct Warsteiner racing livery, complete with the silver bodywork, red race number, sponsor graphics, aerodynamic bodywork and large rear wing that give the original car its unmistakable competition-spec appearance. The model is catalogued by Pop Race under PR640509 and is officially licensed, making it particularly appealing to collectors of Mercedes-Benz motorsport, FIA GT racing and historically themed 1:64 die-cast cars.

What makes this release especially interesting for a serious die-cast collection is its attention to the race-car construction rather than simply the exterior silhouette. The model incorporates removable front and rear body covers, allowing the detailed cockpit and mechanical components beneath the bodywork to become part of the display. The sculpt also captures the low, wide proportions of the CLK-GTR, its race-spec wheels, deep aerodynamic surfaces and substantial rear wing. With the #10 livery associated with the 1997 FIA GT Championship, this is a strong choice for collectors who prefer competition cars with a specific motorsport identity rather than generic road-car variants.

Key Product Features

• Authentic Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK-GTR design: A finely scaled representation of the purpose-built GT1 racing car that competed in the 1997 FIA GT Championship.
• 1997 #10 race livery: Recreates the silver #10 competition car with prominent Warsteiner branding and period-correct motorsport graphics.
• 1:64 scale format: Compact enough for a multi-car motorsport display while retaining the distinctive proportions and aerodynamic character of the full-size CLK-GTR.
• Die-cast metal construction: The primary body is made from die-cast metal, giving the miniature a substantial feel compared with lightweight plastic-only models.
• ABS plastic components: Precision-moulded ABS parts are used for selected structural and detail elements, complementing the metal body.
• Removable front and rear covers: The bodywork can be removed to expose the model's detailed cockpit and mechanical detailing, giving collectors more than a purely exterior display piece.
• Race-spec aerodynamic profile: The miniature reproduces the CLK-GTR's broad body, low nose, pronounced front aero surfaces, side extensions and large rear wing.
• Detailed wheels and tyres: Multi-spoke racing wheels and black tyres reinforce the period GT racing appearance.
• Detailed cockpit: Interior components are represented beneath the removable bodywork, adding visual depth when the model is displayed with its covers removed.
• Fine sponsor graphics: Warsteiner, Mobil 1 and other period-style racing markings contribute to the authentic 1997 presentation.
• Free-rolling wheels: The model is designed as a display-grade die-cast car with rolling wheels.
• Collector-focused presentation: Its combination of removable bodywork, detailed internals and historically specific livery makes it suitable for motorsport collections, Mercedes-Benz displays and 1:64 racing dioramas.

A Closer Look at the 1997 Racing Identity

The Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK-GTR represents the era when GT racing regulations produced some of the most extreme competition cars ever developed. Rather than being a conventional road car simply adapted for racing, the CLK-GTR was engineered around the demands of GT1 competition, giving it the low-slung silhouette, wide stance and extensive aerodynamic treatment that define the model.

This Pop Race release focuses specifically on the 1997 FIA GT Championship #10 configuration, rather than presenting a generic CLK-GTR. The Warsteiner graphics across the silver body, race number 10, sponsor markings and prominent rear aero give the miniature a distinct motorsport identity. For collectors building a chronological racing display, it also fits naturally alongside other GT1-era machines from the same period.

At 1:64 scale, the model works particularly well in collections focused on Mercedes-Benz racing cars, FIA GT, GT1, endurance-inspired competition cars and European motorsport history. The removable bodywork adds another layer of collectability, allowing the chassis and cockpit details to be appreciated rather than leaving the model as a sealed exterior sculpture.
