Never a fan of the looks of the current CLK, but the widebody style of this makes it looks hot !

I don't want to be a poser (like slapping an amg on a non-amg), but on a curious basis, is it possible to:

1. Get a CLK 320/500
2. Put an SL55 engine in there
3. Have a body kit made
4. Exhausts don't look to different from stock amg
5. 747 wing

and not put any amg, dtm badges (if you can even buy one) on?

If you can't have one in the US, can this be done??? Excuse me for my car-ignorance.

The only thing that might not be possible is the shifter-very simple:

KILL
Reverse
Neutral

I'd take either CL65 or SL65 easily over this, as well as the ugly SLR Mclaren.

I would have to say....NO.
The real DTM car is the track car, this is a street car with the race car bodywork and a big supercharged V8.
It even has a licence plate!!!!

I think it looks hot...though the fenders are something to get used to...along with that wing-thingy...lol.

Love the cockpit though and all that carbon fiber....

TXStyle, did you download the movie? Can you email it to me (email in sig)? The movie has been taken down..........

I will host it on one of my servers so that others can view it.

I'm sorry but this car looks more Rice every time I see it.

The kit is just too added on looking and tacky.

I'd still take it though.

Yea I think its just a flyby, but it sounds pretty bada**. I would take one over a 65 AMG car just for its track heritage. Too bad they're that expensive and soooo limited.
