Of course.
The first prototypes are already being tested around the Nurburgring. This is a street version of the CLK DTM. Only 50 examples will see production. The car will be built in Affalterbach, and will be powered by the same 626 HP V8 supercharged engine that is currently in the production SLRs. the price is 230,000 Euros. According to them, this CLK will be less luxurious and more race car oriented. I guess similar to the Porsche GT3 Cup edition and the M3 CSL .

Another item of interest LIGHTENING RESISTANCE: Summary

The Technical University of Berlin made a presentation on behalf of MB re lightening strike resistance of the new CLK convertible.

The new collapsible roof consists of steeltubing, which divert the electrical strikes of up to 1.4 mill. Volts.

The new roof is also quieter - 2 decibels - and protects all electronics from lightening strikes.



Kurz vor der Showroom Präsentation präsentiert die
TU Berlin eine Studie im Auftrag von
Mercedes-Benz, die beweist, dass das neue CLK
Cabrio Verdeck ein Faradayscher Käfig ist und somit
im geschlossenen Zustand vor Blitzen bis 1,4 Mio
Volt schützt. Dies konnte erreicht werden, da das
neue Verdeck, welches auch wesentlich weniger
Windgeräusche (bis zu 1,9 dB(A) leiser als das
Vorgängermodell) in den Innenraum lässt,
Stahlrohre beinhaltet die die elektrischen Ströme
somit ableiten. Auch die Bordelektronik die sehr gut
abgeschirmt ist, wird durch solche Blitze nicht
beeinflußt.
