Looks like they forced a CLK55 to mate with an M3. For the record the M3 was the *****. LOL. This'll be the car to own though.

20+ to list......
I've seen the real thing in person today. It's absolutely gorgeous!! One thing we don't get, is the fabric bucket/Recaro seats, but AMG grace us with somewhat of a replica in full napa leather.
I was talking to the director of AMG from Germany at the unveiling event today @ NYIAS, and I asked him if he prefer the CLK DTM or this Black Series, his response was for city driving, hands down the DTM, but if you plan to go to the track, say once a month, the Black is your best weapon out there.
Now, let's check in with reality, is the $135,775.00 a reasonable asking price for it? Yes, absolutely. Consider the fact that it's a very limited production vehicle for the US, 350 units nation wide to be exact, hand made carbon fiber panels, all sorts of coolers you can think of which a car needs, light weight panels which cover most of the car, and adjustable ride height, damping, camber, track ready suspension. Would I buy one? No. First reason is because my Benz's occupy 50% of my garage population, secondly for about the same price, a 997 TT would be a better candidate given it has more tuning/upgrading potential, and finally, while it's a very special model, but it's the CLK DTM I truly want. It's a special one, but not ALL THAT special to me.

I also saw the car tonight at the NYIAS and I must say it is absolutely gorgeous, especially the rear carbon fiber diffuser, and the wider fenders. The only thing I was disappointed with is the fact that no true manual transmission or sequential manual will be offered. I think AMG needs to offer either a true manual or a sequential, I spoke to AMG CEO Volker Mornhinweg and asked if a manual or a sequential was in the works but he said AMG did a survey and found that about only 1% of AMG customers wanted either, which to me sounds crazy
