This car was presented in frankfurt and represent, with the CLK DTM street version from HWA, the ultimate W209. We still don't know the price but I bet for a 200000€+

AMG BRED, the CLK K8 use a special suspension with a lot of ride adjustements. That's certainly why it looks different.

quote from Brabus site; "The custom BRABUS threaded suspension was calibrated specifically to the 19-inch tires and offers ride height adjustment as well as shocks with 9-stage adjustable bound and rebound. This allows lowering the ride height by up to 45 millimeters and selection of individual suspension settings. In addition BRABUS sport sway bars reduce body roll to a minimum. "


sounds like a coilover suspension with 9 ways adjustable dampening and rebound.

very nice..


this car is the best looking CLK I'd say


Regardz,
