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.

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.
