Is that all to get a replica? Wouldn't you need also the suspension bits, the race tranny, the bucket seats, the steering wheel, the CF trim as well? Either way, I'dlike to see it!

thats using a clk55 so you get the amg to start with to take care of the susp, big brakes etc. doesnt include any interior mods. the tiny dtm steering wheel is cool but to keep the cost down the exterior would be matched almost exactly with oz superleggeras.

I really dont think the DTM and the regular run-of-the-mill (hahaha) CLK55 have the same suspension or brakes?

What about labor?

100k$ total?
