Mercedes CLK DTM Replica May Come to U.S.

Inside Line is reporting that Mercedes has plans on brining the CLK DTM to the States. According to Mario Spitzner, AMG-Mercedes director of marketing & sales/branding, the company would be willing to federalize the car if there were enough customers.

"I get a lot of pressure from our best customers to bring it to the U.S.," Spitzner said.

With 582 horsepower and suspension, brakes and bodywork derived from the company's fire-breathing German Touring Car racers, the CLK-DTM rockets to 62 mph in 3.9 seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 200 mph. The initial run of 100 coupes was supplemented by another 80 cabriolets for sun-worshipers with a need for speed. As you will see in the video below, the coupes had an engraving stating that it is one out of 100 cars. Watch the video below and get a better look at the CLK DTM that was imported by some guy in SoCal.

Head over to Inside Line to read more about the car.
