MB CLK Supersport! Hot!!!



The AMG-developed street version will come to market as a small production line of 100 units. The two-seater is powered by a 5.5-liter V-8 kompressor from the SL55 AMG, putting out 580 horsepower. The sports car — named CLK DTM — weighs 165 pounds less than the CLK55 AMG, yet features equipment such as air conditioning, a roll bar, traction control, and ESP. In Europe, it will be sold via AMG starting this summer at a cost of $232,000 EUR, or roughly $278,000 USD.

I don't think that there's one thing on that car that I don't like Dead sexy.
As per Road & Track, they say ".....Production could start as early as the summer, although the likelihood of any of the $275,000 cars coming to the States is slim." Now, whether they mean that the price tag may be too high for anyone in the States to purchase of the 100 or so made, or whether they mean it's not even heading across the pond at all, is unknown I guess for now. Either, it'll be pretty rare to actually see one of these out there in person.
Cheers,

I think if I keep looking at it I will learn to like them. It does look kinda weird
now, but by the time they hit the dealers they may look pretty dang good! :smile:
