MB CLK55 AMG DTM...574BHP

[shine]

Just looking at a locally advertised CLK55 AMG DTM 574BHP year 2006, 9k miles, up at only £239,000.
Not come across this model before, why so expensive?

Very rare.

‘Twas the “road going” version of the DTM (German Touring Car) race car. I’m not sure if they needed to make some for homolognation purposes but they made them and they are a thing of beauty.

Only 3 made then.

 

[Blobcat]

Very nice

Only 3 made then.

Only 40 made I believe. There's also a GTR version of which only 25 were made for street use. That's V12 powered and totally bonkers.

Still seems lot of money, or maybe not for a V12 totally bonkers rocket ship.

The DTM is a V8.



The rarer GTR is the V12

£239kand still no ABC. Commoner car!

Those rear wheel arches with air intakes really look the business. The wheels are too ornate for me, but if any saloon car can wear jewellery, this is perhaps the one.

This is one I think?...FoS at Goodwood a few years ago.

That's a GTR I think (airscoop on roof and single air intake on bumper)

Should be bought to use, but almost none of then will be.
