TheMercedes-Benz CLK DTM is a 2-doorDTMtouring car constructed by the Germancar manufacturerMercedes-Benz, that debuted in the2000 DTM season, and competed until the end of the2003 season. It was based on the standardMercedes-Benz CLK-Class (C208) road car then later theCLK-Class (C209).[1][2][3][4]
For the 2000 DTM season, Mercedes-Benz committed to entering eight cars split between four cars from the WorksHWA Team, and two cars each from the semi-WorksPersson andRosberg outfits. HWA, in turn, sub-divided its operations into two parallel squads. The first ran twoD2 Telekom-sponsored cars forBernd Schneider andThomas Jäger, the second fielding two Warsteiner-backed cars forKlaus Ludwig, andMarcel Fässler.[5]
In March 2002, Mercedes-Benz announced a revised version of the CLK DTM now based on theCLK-Class (C209), at theGeneva Motor Show withBernd Schneider andJean Alesi. The car won the2003 DTM season.
