Highly likely to return based on appearances in Forza Horizon 4 and 5; not yet officially announced for FH6 at the time of writing.
About the 1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Strassenversion in Forza Horizon
Track toys remove the compromises that make road cars liveable. 1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Strassenversion is one of those single-purpose machines: stripped interiors, fixed-back seats, and aero developed for downforce rather than fuel economy. Forza Horizon places these in the S2 and X brackets where their downforce character pays off on circuit-style events.
The 1990s were a creative high point for Mercedes-Benz performance machinery — tighter regulations had not yet limited engine breathing, and tuner-shop culture was at its peak. Horizon's roster leans heavily into this decade.
In-Game Classification
1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Strassenversion sits in the Track Toys bracket of the Forza Horizon car list. S2 territory means power-to-grip ratio becomes the real engineering problem — CLK GTR Strassenversion responds well to aero and tire upgrades disproportionate to the engine work.
The RWD drivetrain shapes how CLK GTR Strassenversion responds to power and tire upgrades — every Forza Horizon entry rewards drivers who understand what their drivetrain layout means for weight transfer in corners.

Where Mercedes-Benz Sits in Forza Horizon 6
Mercedes-Benz contributes a substantial slice of the Forza Horizon 6 vehicle catalog. The CLK GTR Strassenversion fits into that broader Mercedes-Benz lineage — every entry on the wiki cross-references its in-game class, drivetrain, and country of origin to help players plan their Festival Playlist garage. For a Germany-built Track Toys machine in the S2 class, this is one of the more interesting picks in the full 896-vehicle catalog.
