Once the CLK-DTM and the GT-CLK for the GT class of the ALMS (American Le Mans Series). Both versions are propelled by 4.0 litres a V8 suction engine with approx. 460 HP.

do you read what I read in that bottom line???!!!

If they are going for the ALMS that means they have to build a street version just as BMW has done with the V8 M3...

OK! Where do I put my deposit down for a 400+HP "extremely sporty" CLK-GT???
