Four round headlights, a huge rear wing, gullwing-style doors and a candy-red body: S Klub LA's Game Over is a brand-new McLaren 750S reborn as a CLK GTR for SEMA 2026 in Las Vegas.
Walk up to it on the Toyo Tires Treadpass at SEMA and your brain will insist it's a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR — the poster car of late-1990s GT1 racing (the top class of FIA GT endurance racing), the one with four round headlights and a wing big enough to shade a picnic. Then the details snap into place: the curved McLaren windows, the carbon fiber tub underneath, the speedmark on the steering wheel. Southern California coachbuilder S Klub LA has taken a brand-new 750S and turned it into Game Over, a one-off finished in red and white that looks like it rolled out of a PlayStation intro screen and into Las Vegas. The show runs through Nov 6, 2026 (Supercar Blondie, duPont Registry, S Klub LA).
This is what S Klub LA does. The studio has been deep in the SoCal show-car scene since the mid-1990s, and it has a soft spot for Mercedes mythology — a G-Wagon for Drake, 300 SL Gullwing-inspired builds, the 600 Final Boss that debuted at SEMA last year. Game Over, developed with Slang500, is the shop swinging for the fences: not another widebody, but a full coachbuilt costume change. Rapper 2 Chainz was among the people who stopped by for a look (duPont Registry, S Klub LA).
The body is the whole point. S Klub LA stretched the 750S into that long-tail GT1 stance, planted four circular headlights in a black-slatted nose with a standing star on the hood, flared the arches and added a roof scoop, a deep front splitter and a fixed rear wing on swan-neck mounts. The doors open upward in a gullwing style. Around back, four chrome exhaust outlets sit in a brushed surround badged S Klub and 750S, above a carbon fiber diffuser. White HRE wheels on Toyo tires pop against the red paint. Voodoo Design and Audison are also on the build list (Supercar Blondie, duPont Registry, Mercedes-Fans).
Open those doors and the mashup gets honest. The cabin still has the 750S dashboard, vertical touchscreen, digital cluster and McLaren wheel — then everything soft is red and white leather with diamond quilting, contrasting stripes and carbon fiber trim. One seat runs red with a white stripe; its neighbor flips the scheme. It is louder and more luxurious than the original CLK GTR's race-bred cabin ever was, which is exactly the joke (duPont Registry, Double Apex).
Under the costume sits the stock McLaren recipe: a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with 740 horsepower and 590 pound-feet, a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and rear-wheel drive, good for 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds and 206 mph when the car left Woking. That is plenty for a showpiece whose job is to stop traffic, not rewrite a dyno sheet (Supercar Blondie, duPont Registry).
The original earned that silhouette the hard way. Mercedes-AMG built the CLK GTR for the new FIA GT Championship in 1997, won the teams' and drivers' titles with Bernd Schneider, and kept winning into 1998 before the CLK LM took over. Homologation rules demanded a road car, so Mercedes built a tiny run of Straßenversions — 20 coupes and six roadsters, 26 cars in total — with a naturally aspirated 6.9-liter V12 making about 604 horsepower. They became blue-chip collectibles and a generation's desktop wallpaper. The same Las Vegas weekend, the Concours at Wynn put a big GT1 field on the lawn, McLaren F1s included. Game Over is S Klub LA answering that nostalgia with a car you can actually commission in 2026 (Supercar Blondie, duPont Registry, Double Apex).
And the mashup works because the two cars were never strangers. McLaren and Mercedes already shared a chapter with the SLR. Pairing a modern MonoCage supercar with GT1 theater is outrageous on purpose — British mid-engine hardware wearing German endurance-racing clothes — and SEMA is exactly where that kind of mischief belongs (Double Apex).
Purists will clutch their homologation papers. Everyone else will walk around it twice. Game Over is not pretending to be a lost Mercedes; it is a finished, detailed coachbuilt one-off that understands why the CLK GTR still stops conversations nearly 30 years later. S Klub LA has the chops for this kind of homage, and the photos show a car built to be stared at, not apologized for.
A real CLK GTR is a seven-figure unicorn with a waiting list measured in decades and luck. Game Over is the modern route: a current McLaren carbon tub, everyday supercar performance and the silhouette collectors grew up wanting. If you want one, you talk to S Klub LA and commission it as a bespoke project — build time, paperwork and insurance on a heavily rebodied 750S included. For everyone else in the US and Canada, the invitation is simpler. It is on the Toyo Tires Treadpass at SEMA in Las Vegas through Nov 6, 2026. Go see the doors go up.
Fabrizio Giugiaro, who designed the original Lamborghini Gallardo at Italdesign, has redrawn it for CAVËN Atelier. The HOMMAGE 26 has a new carbon body, a manual V10 that revs to 8,500 rpm and up to 560 hp. Only 25 will be built, each from a first-generation Gallardo, starting at €900,000 (about $1,005,000) before taxes and the donor car.
Classic Recreations is back at SEMA for the first time since Velocity Restorations bought it out of bankruptcy. Its GT500CR Carbon is a Shelby-licensed 1967 GT500 with a carbon fiber body, a 1,000-horsepower supercharged Ford V8 and carbon-ceramic brakes, and the company quotes at least $500,000.
Karma has started a bespoke program called Eximius. Its first car is a one-off, four-seat track version of the Revero for a single client. Karma says the plug-in series hybrid will get a 6.2-liter V8 and close to 1,200 hp before delivery in 2027, with 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds.
