    The Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM is a $450,000 supercar -- but most people have never heard of it. I'm reviewing the Mercedes CLK DTM, and I'm showing you around it and driving the CLK DTM to reveal why it's so special.

      I know one other RUclipsr was able to drive a CLK-GTR in Switzerland. But honestly, I hate the Doug score. First, the 2017 Ford GT gets a 9 in importance vs 10 for the 917 or Carrera GT? Did either of those sweep their class in LeMans 50 years after the last "real" Ford racecar you could buy? And if it's not a Porsche or Ferrari, forget about a good style score. Despite it's styles subjective nature, this does look almost exactly like a real DTM car. It's also the most modern DTM type car you can get. The other most recent examples are 15 to 30 years older, like an Alfa Romeo 155 GTA Stradale or in the 30 year category, an Alfa Romeo 75 Evoluzione, an E30 M3 Evo or a 190E 2.5-16. These all are significant, race winning homologation specials. Which while based on production sedans and coupes are certainly significant and seem only to rise in price year over year, as I'm sure the CLK-DTM will as well. So even the value proposition is good. There is an Alfa 75 Evo that is going for 130k now. Way more than it did new.

    My brother worked for Mercedes for many years and did service on a couple of these in Sweden. One of his favorite cars of all time. According to him it's one of the most exciting cars you can buy. Seen one in real life (convertible) and they do look very imposing and the sound is insane. Don't understand how anyone can call Mercedes boring. Look at the mad cars they have been putting out constantly since 50 years back!

    Looking at CLK55 and CLK63 Cabs now. One will be in the garage soon. Many low mileage 63's available for under $30K; great deals for 475 HP beasts originally costing over $100K decently equipped. These are non-supercharged 6.2L's so assume less stress and longer life.
    This DTM and the Black Series are dream cars!

    Doug, "my opinion" is that your success comes from your accurate and speedy dialog. You waste no ones time. You say what you need to say, quickly and you get to the point (admittedly, the point you have decided to get to) but you waste NO time with UH or ya know or anything inarticulate Your humor is fun, your diction is precise and your delivery doesn't waste time Pretty good. I like Hoovie, your protégé, too, but he isn't doing videos like you do. Also, he sings. HA! It's no wonder why you are as successful as you are and to a lesser extent, Hoovie, also. BUT! You guys are DIFFERENT and wonderful in each of the ways that define you. I read a bunch of the comments to this video and determined that, at least the first ones listed, the people commenting are more interested in hearing themselves than they are making a contribution to your video. I'll keep watching.

      All that carbon fiber, no rear seats, and it still weighs 3,854 lbs?! That's basically the same as the current ZL1 Camaro (3,883 lbs.) which makes 650 hp from a blown V8--sure, it's much newer--but has no carbon fiber whatsoever.

    "This is basically a road-going version of the Mercedes CLK DTM Touring race car."
    Except that it's not. The actual DTM race cars do not have much in common with the street legal cars, they only have bodies designed to look like them. What you have reviewed here is a special edition of the regular CLK that Mercedes released to celebrate their win in the 2003 DTM season (9/10 races won).

      exactly, the DTM cars have the front-mid engine so far back the drivers are actually sitting at where the b-pillar would be. the CLK-GTR was the actual road-going race car that Mercedes built.

      Plus, the CLK GTR wasn't even based on this generation, but on the previous one ('97 - 2001)

    I love this engine (M113k) cuz it's so similar to the M112k in my car. Make sure your tool set has a full complement of Torx & E-Torx in it before opening the hood of this vintage of Mercedes.
