The FBI has seized an ultra-rare 2002 Mercedes CLK-GTR Roadster—valued at more than $13 million—as part of its intensifying search for Ryan Wedding, a top ten most wanted fugitive and former Canadian Olympic snowboarder. Only six CLK-GTR Roadsters were ever produced, making the vehicle one of the rarest and most valuable supercars in existence. Its confiscation marks a dramatic turn in the manhunt.

According to federal officials, the seizure of the multimillion-dollar roadster is linked to efforts to trace Wedding’s financial network and assets while narrowing down his location. The fugitive, once a celebrated athlete, is now accused of high-level criminal activity and has evaded capture for years. The luxury supercar was discovered during operations targeting individuals and properties believed to be connected to Wedding.

The Mercedes CLK-GTR Roadster, a limited-production masterpiece originally built for FIA GT racing homologation, is considered one of the crown jewels of modern automotive history. Its rarity—only a half-dozen units exist worldwide—combined with its soaring collector-market value makes the FBI’s seizure particularly notable.

Authorities have not disclosed whether the vehicle was directly owned by Wedding or held through intermediaries, but investigators say the confiscation is a significant step in tightening the circle around him. The FBI emphasized that seizing high-value assets often disrupts a fugitive’s ability to finance continued flight, secure safe housing, or maintain support networks.

Wedding’s status as one of the FBI’s most wanted underscores the seriousness of the charges he faces. Law enforcement agencies across the United States and Canada continue coordinated efforts to track him down, with leads expanding into financial records, luxury holdings, and international movements.

While the $13 million supercar has now been secured by federal authorities, the manhunt remains active. Officials say the investigation is ongoing and encouraged the public to report credible sightings or information that could assist in bringing Ryan Wedding into custody.

The FBI’s message is clear: no asset, no matter how rare or expensive, is beyond reach in the pursuit of a top-tier fugitive.
