Default CLK DTM

There is a rumor that there will be a CLK DTM which will be introduced in this

summer (only 100 will be produced)....each will be sold at €232,000....

some figures: 5.5L kompressor, 580HP, 1640kg,

This is all I know....oh yeah...and it looks like a DTM car....

WOW ... a great looking car... its about time the CLK got a harder make-over than the AMG models. It's sure to be a fast car, with great handling.

CLK DTM? It has no sense if they will now compete with the C class sedan

On this site you can see the preview of the new C class DTM car: http://www.mercedes-benz.com/omb/str...t.htm?mode=int

I wonder if they are doing that just to get rid of spare parts etc...

Looks nice...but I doubt it'll find its way to the market....Opel was supposed to produce a few Astra OPC extremes (their version of the V8 DTM car) but I haven't heard boo about it...I don't think it actually happened unfortunately.

Uhm.. about the Astra, since the first pics were shown it was clearly stated that they were not planning to produce it as far as I remember
