ABOUT THIS COMMISSION
The road-going Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR has always felt like a car that slipped through a crack in reality - something that should have thundered down the Mulsanne Straight, yet somehow wound up wearing number plates and idling at traffic lights. In the metal, it exudes that unmistakable aura of a machine built first for racing and only later, almost begrudgingly, adapted for the public road. Its cabin is tight and businesslike, its controls heavy with purpose, and the 6.8-litre AMG V12 behind your shoulders pulses with the sort of intent that makes lesser supercars feel like weekend toys.
Driving it is an event in the old-fashioned, slightly intimidating sense: there’s nothing sanitised, nothing smoothed over. Instead, you get a sense of barely civilised ferocity, as though the car is constantly reminding you that homologation was a legal requirement, not a philosophical shift. And yet, for all its rawness, the CLK GTR possesses a strange kind of nobility, a purity of engineering ambition that speaks to the era’s most outrageous dreams, when racing cars still occasionally escaped into the real world, unfiltered and gloriously unrepentant.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Rudolf van der Ven is a Belgium-based commercial and automotive photographer with a knack for capturing iconic cars in a way that feels both meticulously considered and effortlessly expressive. His work blends technical precision with an instinctive understanding of form and light, giving his images a clarity that appeals as much to engineers as to aesthetes. Whether he’s shooting hypercars in controlled studio environments or chasing reflections on wet tarmac at sunrise, there’s a consistent sense of craft in everything he produces.
