Game Over: S-Klub LA Rebodied a New McLaren 750S as a Mercedes CLK GTR

Mercedes-Benz built the CLK GTR to win the GT1 class of the FIA GT Championship in 1997, and it did. Almost three decades later, a Southern California coachbuilder has built one on top of a McLaren. 'Game Over' is a McLaren 750S rebodied as a CLK GTR by S-Klub LA (@s_klub_la), and it was revealed at the 2026 SEMA Show in Toyo Tires' Treadpass lot, the outdoor tent between the Central and South Halls.

It is a coupe, not a roadster. duPont Registry and Supercar Blondie both describe the same list: four round headlights, exaggerated wheel arches, upward-opening doors, a roof scoop, an aggressive front splitter, sculpted side intakes and a large fixed rear wing, in red and white. Our frames from Nov. 5 show the quad lights, the dark roof with its scoop and the long, low nose sitting a few inches off the tent floor.

S-Klub LA built it with Slang500 (@slang500), according to duPont Registry. Toyo's build page credits John Sarkisyan, whom MBWorld identified as S-Klub's builder when it covered the shop's SLR-inspired SEMA build.

What is under the body

Toyo lists the donor as a 2024 McLaren 750S; Supercar Blondie calls it brand-new. In stock form the 750S runs a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 rated at 740 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, with a claimed 2.8 seconds from 0 to 62 mph and a 206 mph top speed. Both duPont Registry and Supercar Blondie note that S-Klub has not said whether any of those numbers changed.

The choice of donor makes sense once you look at the proportions. The original CLK GTR carried its V12 behind the driver, per Supercar Blondie, and the 750S is a mid-engine car too, so the long nose, short tail and cab-forward stance of the GT1 car have something real to sit on. Supercar Blondie calls the 750S one of McLaren's most powerful series-production supercars, which makes it an expensive starting point for a body swap.

Toyo's build sheet holds the only mechanical detail published so far: downpipes and a custom exhaust on the V8, the 750S's stock suspension and McLaren track brakes. That is a sensible split. The parts that make a 750S fast stay McLaren, and the work goes into the shape.

At the back, duPont Registry describes four centrally mounted exhaust outlets in a custom surround with CLK GTR style badging, an aggressive diffuser and taillights meant to recall the original road car.

Wheels are white HRE, on Toyo tires, a pairing duPont Registry and Supercar Blondie both confirm. Toyo lists the tire as its Proxes Sport R. In our video from the tent, the HRE logo sits on a white face ringed with small windows, a design that looks right at home on a car imitating late-1990s GT racing.

Inside

The cabin keeps the 750S's dashboard architecture, digital displays and center console, per duPont Registry, with most visible surfaces redone in red and white leather with diamond quilting, contrasting stripes and exposed carbon fiber trim. Through the windshield on Nov. 5 we could see quilted white and red seats with a center stripe and a red and white dash. duPont Registry also credits Audison and Voodoo Design on the project without spelling out what each supplied.

Why the CLK GTR

The original is one of the great homologation stories. Mercedes developed the CLK GTR for the new FIA GT Championship in 1997, and Supercar Blondie reports that AMG built the first two prototypes in 128 days. In its debut season the car won the drivers' title, with Bernd Schneider, and the teams' title, per Supercar Blondie and duPont Registry.

It did not stop there. The Petersen Automotive Museum says the CLK GTR program took the FIA GT title again in 1998, though most of that season was run by the V8-powered CLK LM, which debuted at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Supercar Blondie likewise notes that the GTR returned for 1998 and was succeeded by the CLK LM.

GT1 rules required road versions, so Mercedes built them. The Petersen Automotive Museum counts 28 road cars: two prototypes, 20 coupes and six roadsters, and duPont Registry gives the same 20 and six. Both list a 6.9-liter V12; duPont Registry puts it at about 604 hp. That rarity is the whole appeal of a build like this. A real CLK GTR is a museum and auction car. A CLK GTR shape on a modern McLaren chassis is something you can actually drive.

The timing in Las Vegas was pointed, too. duPont Registry notes that the CLK GTR was among the stars of the Wynn Concours, an event that gathered 19 GT1 cars, 10 of them McLaren F1s. A short drive away at the convention center, the same shape turned up again with McLaren hardware underneath.

S-Klub's track record

Game Over is the latest in a long line of Mercedes tributes and one-offs from S-Klub. duPont Registry lists a one-off G-Wagon built for Drake, a Ferrari 612 called 'Teppista,' several 300 SL Gullwing-inspired builds, an SLR-inspired widebody and the '600 Final Boss' shown at SEMA 2025. MBWorld separately documented the SLR build.

The pattern is consistent: start with a modern car, keep its hardware, and give it the face of something rare and old. Game Over is the most extreme version yet, because the car it imitates was never a road car first. It was a race car that Mercedes had to make street legal. Motor1 Italy and Supercar Blondie both covered the reveal during show week.

S-Klub had a second car in the Treadpass this year: a 1955 Porsche Speedster style build that Toyo lists under Sarkisyan's name, which carried a Hermes Edition plaque when we photographed it. The Weekly Driver lists Game Over among the Top 40 entries in the 2026 Battle of the Builders, and duPont Registry reports, from an Instagram reel, that rapper 2 Chainz looked it over at the show.

No one from S-Klub has been quoted on the build, and the shop has not published power figures, build hours or a price. What it has published is the car, and on Nov. 5 that was enough to keep a crowd standing around the Toyo tent. Whether a tribute this complete belongs on a modern supercar is an argument people will have at every show it attends. Game Over makes a strong case.
