Yup, I know that. The one I posted was the Porker made in 1998, after the FIA opened up the rules (which no longer required the 25 road cars), effectively making them closed top prototypes.

The pic you have is of the 911 GT1-EVO, from 1997. the GT1-98 was a completly new car.

As for the Mercs. The Original CLK-GTR was the one that whooped ass in 1997, and was then replaced with the CLK-GTR-LM at LeMans in '98.
The CLR was the Merc that flipped in '99 (same again with the GT1-98, it was a closed top prototype, not a homologated "road car").

Call me pedantic, but I like to be accurate about what car is which ...
Have a look here for more info on sportscars etc

So Porsches...
'95/96 - 911 GT1
'97 - 911 GT1-EVO
'98 - 911 GT1-98

Merc's
'97 - GLK GTR
'98 - CLK GTR LM
'99 - CLR (flipper)
