Thumbs up Clk Dtm Amg

I love DTM styled cars, look at that wide body!!
0-62 in 3.9, 200 mph limited top speed - street legal race car. Limited to 100 units.

I'm sure the wing is functional but I'd probably remove it

Not a big fan of the current styling of the CLK, but the DTM, wide-body look is pleasing to the eye and reminds me of the black M3 coupe (far-right in the pic below). The interior is modified nicely as well

Thumbs up

I'm becoming numb to cars like these because:

A.) They never come to America.
B.) Even if they did come to America, the roads suck and having a super-star track car is a pipe dream (for me). I'm not a race driver and wouldn't know what the hell to do with a car like that. Probably kill myself.
C.) As with the tail end of item "B," I have to be realistic and figure that I will never to able to afford a car like that.

Having said that, what a wicked ride. Much respect.

Yup ... was right about to say that I WANT THAT CAR ... but I'm never going to get the chance because it will never be coming here!

Technics ... you're mean for showing this to all of the state-side CL members

Another amazing Benz. They really have the best product lineup right now. Thought that is what a 250k car?

LOL, I'm in the same boat as the rest of you, I want what I can't have, but you know we never get the GOOD offerings over here.

I think it's $290k. Yes, I'm a dreamer.

Never liked the current CLK, but this wide body looks much better. But for $290K, I'll take a SL65 in a second & keep the $100K difference in my pocket.

My mom's got a CLK500 (so I'm a bit biased) and I'll tell ya, 5.3 to 60 is for real. But this car is crazy. I like the angular wide body front and rear and the carbon fiber interior. Big
