High tech derived from motorsport, racetrack handling dynamics, eye-catching
design and utmost exclusivity -
the new Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet is not only the choice of
prominent sportsmen, but also makes the hearts of other automobile enthusiasts
beat faster. With its 428 kW/582 hp powerful AMG 5.5-litre V8 compressor engine,
the newly developed AMG sports suspension, optionally available sports tyres and
aerodynamics optimised in the wind tunnel the CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet, which is in
a limited edition of 100, delivers a superlative performance: The AMG
high-performance sports car accelerates in only 4.0 seconds from zero to 100
km/h, the highest speed is 300 km/h (electronically limited). This means that
the new AMG high-performance car is the fastest open-top four-seater in the
world.
"Exactly the right car for quick trips around my home town [of] Monte Carlo"
is how Mika Hakkinen of F1 fame describes the CLK DTM AMG. He is one of the
first people to actually buy the hot vehicle. What? You want one, too? Then get
in line, because they're only making 100 of these beasts, and they're asking for
no less than 277,820 euros ($354k) :P
