Looks pretty good. I like what they do to the "black series". I really took a liking to the SLK55 Black but 120K up from 60k was a bit of a price hike for 50 more bhp and fix carbon roof.

I don't know, that ground effects kit still looks a little ricer for my liking, if I was gonna do it, I'd still want the CLK DTM more.

I agree, It is a sexy car and would look sharp as hell in black or a dark grey, but the kit just looks... cheap.

I don't know why they keep doing so much with this generation CLK.

[Matt]

i dont think the CLK is anything special to look at. I'd rather have an S series of some sort.

[markr]

I don't think it looks bad at all. The DTM looked over the top and it should have because that was the point. This looks just right.

[INFINITE]

I love the look of the car, however mercedes probably wont send the good version to the states, so their is no reason want one

[Talus]

It looks much better in person, trust.

I wish they stayed with the SC 5.4 instead of going NA though.

Looks like this thing is turning out to be pretty beefy:

500 HP, 478 ft. lbs. torque = ~3.8 sec 0-60

Love the car, period.

[Matador]

The performance may be impressive, but the styling leaves much to be desired. I would never pay that kind of money for a car that looks like a CLK ricer.

[bdasbul]

for that type of money , the performance should be alot better . 4.3 0-60 . the old e55 was just as quick or even quicker and thats for less than 1/2 the money !!!!

this Black Series car is fitted with a 6.3L V8 engine developing 507hp and capable of pushing the car to 100km/h in just 4.3 seconds.

reading is fundamental Dave , lololol ...... 3.8 ??? what are you guys smoking down in fla , send some up here ....

[Matt]

AMG’s acceleration forecast is 0-to-60 mph in 4.1 seconds. Since we’ve already recorded a 4.2 for the CLK63 cabrio—less power, more mass—4.1 seems pretty conservative. Shall we say 3.8? Yes, let’s.

you're both right i guess.

[Seb]

Love it :grinning-smiley-003

I dont think there are enough people who will spend the extra $$ on it...

I would just take a CLK-DTM. Its the only car I would purchase from Mercedes Benz besides the new generation S-Class

DTM is a very nice but in a much different price bracket, not legal in the US and out of production . . .

[duc749r]

there are 2 clk dtms in ca and 1 in wa with street titles I think they go for around 220k

Yes, there are but I am not dealer and even if had 220k I am really not interested in playing the "games" with the state/local/dmv in order to get a car like that tag in this country. Don't even mentioned show and display law because a car like that in my garage is getting driven more than 2500 miles per year. If tagging a non US car was easy as most people who are not dealers lead on than I would call it a day and buy Zonda and be done with it all.

After doing what I done with my Lotus to get it through emissions and make sure it passes this and passes that, it would be nice to simply go buy a car and just drive it with no strings attached. The DTM is NOT that car.
