For the right collector it might be worth it. For someone just looking for performance/styling, a regular BS with some mods(maybe ~$20K worth or less) should easily match the DTM.

It has a 6 speed semi-auto? What transmission is that? Or did the dealer mess up?

Here's one from a knowledgeable source. It lists a 5-Speed automatic transmission.

http://www.canepa.com/inventory/coll...DTM/index.html

You can also find details on these cars at:

http://www.mercedes-amg.de

After the site loads, click on "Performance Studio", then click on "Vehicles", then click on "Signature Series".

Also more info directly from HWA AG at:

http://p28363.typo3server.info/home.html

http://p28363.typo3server.info/clk_dtm_amg0.html

If you're fluent in German, note that the language can be converted if you click on the button on the upper right "Deutsch" (next to the "Search").

I doubt anyone is going to pay 400 large for that car, especially when it appears to have a ricer body kit.

The kit is quite well done, actually. It's more radical than a BS. A question of taste perhaps. The DTM heritage shines through, for better or worse.

The DTM is more powerful, more brutal. The front wheels are so big the steering angle is limited, making it a poor performer in a parking lot or doing a 180 around a slalom cone. Other than that, it's the one to have: more exclusive, better sound form the pipes. The perfect track toy for a rich boy. And only that: this car is not street legal in the USA.

It's all carbon fiber also - not carbon fiber over plastic.

Since the DTM isn't street legal in the US, it's just another dust collecting mantelpiece. Actually, it's a good thing that it isn't street legal because waaaaay more people than me would be making the ricer comparison.

...And yes, I would take my Black Series over it.


Actually, if you look closely, you can see a red version of the DTM here @ the 5:09 mark....

Nice performance; no doubt, but it still looks ricer. At less than 1/3 the cost, this gives me plenty of thrills......

The Black Series should have been done with the 55k Engine with the same specs as the DTM! The BS is badass even with the 6.2 but toss in the whine combined with all of the other mods out there and we would see 700hp Black Series rolling around!

Yep that would be my dream car for under 100k , do you think it would have been a better seller with the 55k engine?
