The Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM is a 2-door DTM touring car constructed by the German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz, that debuted in the 2000 DTM season, and competed until the end of the 2003 season. It was based on the standard Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class (C208) road car then later the CLK-Class (C209).
History: For the 2000 DTM season, Mercedes-Benz committed to entering eight cars split between four cars from the Works HWA Team, and two cars each from the semi-Works Persson and Rosberg outfits. HWA, in turn, sub-divided its operations into two parallel squads. The first ran two D2 Telekom-sponsored cars for Bernd Schneider and Thomas Jäger, the second fielding two Warsteiner-backed cars for Klaus Ludwig and Marcel Fässler.
In March 2002, Mercedes-Benz announced a revised version of the CLK DTM now based on the CLK-Class (C209), at the Geneva Motor Show with Bernd Schneider and Jean Alesi as drivers. With this car, Mercedes-Benz won the 2003 DTM season.
Additionally, there is a notable mention of an official Works DTM AMG Mercedes show car chassis produced by HWA AG in Germany, specifically built for Vodafone. In 2006, Bernd Schneider once again clinched the title, becoming the champion in the Mercedes.
