CLK DTM at Mercedes Benz of Laguna Niguel

Just thought I'd share with you guys some pictures of a CLK DTM at Mercedes Benz of Laguna Niguel. I stopped in there today and saw this in the AMG Performance Center. For those of you in SoCal you know where to go now if you want to see 1 of 100 CLK DTMs made.

Wow! Thanks for posting such a rare find.

Never saw one in person so I'll stop in when I return home. Just curious, do you know the mileage and how much they were asking?

I'm not sure of the mileage but I remember there was a piece of paper there that said something along the lines of display only and do not touch. I don't know what they are asking but I'm going back tomorrow so I will ask.

i have been back and forth to this dealer and a customer for 10 years now and was introduced to the owner and had a nice conversation with him (even gave me a free service) . they actually own 2 DTMs this one and a coupe. they only take it out to car shows like concours or demo track days in laguna seca. the car has never been for sale

Smart move on the dealer. Guess if I was the owner I would also have to keep a DTM or two!

They're street licensed in California ostensibly for ‘demonstration purposes’ or some other arcane loophole.
Don’t have the chutzpah or bankroll for a CLK DTM, but I’d certainly enjoy flogging one during a track day!

That same car at a Dana Point Concours d'Elegance:


^ never mind the Veyron :p:

Awesome. One of the few cars that doesn't seem to age.
