Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM specs

still amazed me that this thing launched in 2004 and the specs are still holds up to this day

What's not to love about this car? :,)

I really can't decide if I like the DTM or the Black Series more

the 355hp & 273lb-ft e46 csl - https://fastestlaps.com/models/bmw-m3-csl
it has no chance of beating the clk dtm on any track..
Power / weight 260 ps (256 bhp) / t <-- M3 CSL
Torque / weight 267 Nm (197 lb-ft) / t <-- M3 CSL
Power / weight 347 ps (342 bhp) / t <-- CLK DTM
Torque / weight 477 Nm (352 lb-ft) / t <-- CLK DTM

To be honest, the M3 CSL is faster only because it was driven by pro and the CLK DTM by journalists from a magazine. I even ain't Mercedes fan but this one was a hell of a car.

This thing looks so much better than the newer CLK 63 Black Series. Data is also impressive.

This makes my list of dream cars, this machine is just brutal!

The old-good CLK DTM... Mmmm... Even more badass than the Black Series... Just shame, there are neither CLK-class, nor DTM series with us anymore...

"So now why buy an SLR?"

For the looks! :D

DTM=
Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft

So now why buy an SLR?

Comon , there is no E92 CSL , maybe GTS...i was talking about the E46 CSL and about the nordschleife track...

m3 csl? Comon. Last time I checked there was no E92 M3 CSL with 500 hp.

the bmw m3 csl eats this on track for less money ;)

The NSX-R did not have 280BHP... it was considerably more, despite what Honda claim.

And much less weight. Saying that a car is amazing just because it did something with less power is pointless.

The NSX-R did this lap time with only 280BHP.

1:44.10 is the correct time in the 2007 magazine was a laptime sheet published of all sportscars Oschersleben laps... the other time wasfor the convertible

And two Oschersleben times using the same reference! Anybody knows the real one?

So why the 7:40 is still there? Somebody delete it please

The 7:56min is from the 3/2006 test which is quoted here as the referenz for the 7:40min, just klick my link which transfers you directly to > Autobild > online archive > 3/2006 test at the Ring with the CLK DTM AMG

7:56.50 155.594 km/h -- Mercedes CLK DTM AMG, 582 PS/1678kg, Klaus Ludwig (AutoBild 02/06)
this is the 7:56 lap time^^.

the CLK DTM can make this time the lap time 7:56 is another autobild test it's older than this time.Do you like BMW M?

The 7:40min time is wrong..during this Autobild test published in 3/2006 the CLK DTM AMG reached a 7:56.50min driven by Walter Röhrl Klaus Ludwig and other real race drivers.. the conditions on that test day was not perfect Walter Röhrl reached at that day only a 7:39min with the Carrera GT ..11s slower as his best time
