http://www.dtm.de/fanodrom/

do they modify the car base on C klass?
it's so much longer than a normal C klass...
or they build their special chasis with C klass look like WRC cars?

all 3 teams are going to bring their 4 doors sedan back to the DTM, that's good for us to see although they don't look as good as those 2 doors coupes.

A whole lot of engineering involved. Just awesome.

the 203 DTM has essentially the same chassi as the 209 DTM it replaces, and the 209 chassi was modified from the 208 DTM.

so, no, the DTM's chassi is completely different from the street w203.

WRC cars on the other hand are built from the street car's chassi with much more modification. Almost everything on the WRC car is strengthend for heavy duty work for racing.

this is awsome... different chasis, but able to built something looks very very close to production car...
