Why Is The Mercedes CLK DTM AMG So Unique? (4K)

In this video, I go over the Mercedes-AMG CLK DTM C209 which was available from 2004-2006. I briefly cover the performance, m113k engine, and unique production of the DTM. I also show how a few DTMs were fitted with the M156 engine.

What are you thoughts on The CLK DTM? Cool low-production AMG or overpriced CLK?

[@Asiamoviemusicssscults]

Looks very cool and rare

[@jamienat.1943]

Very cool!

[@DanielEhlmann]

A little of both. A cool piece of history, but an m113k swap into a w209 chassis would be way cheaper. Less Mercedes-nerd clout to that, obviously.

[@kondjanegongo796]

Very cool. What benz did with the CLK platform was amazing. DTM, P900, BLACK, GTR, GTR LM, 63, 55

[@FStan-co8vv]

Cool but overpriced

[@quaidmciver172]

Wow 😯 this CLK DTM is even more interesting than the CLK Black Series 👏

[@shamil808]

Stunning content, as always. 👌 Fun fact: Number 10 is owned by a paraplegic driver here in South Africa. A right-hand-drive CLK-DTM, with hand controls. Unsure of the whereabouts of this vehicle currently or if it still has the original owner.

[@keruamg]

Saw that in a documentary on T.V many years ago. I do see one for sale now by a dealer on Auto Trader...I wonder if it could be the same one.

[@Manuqtix.Manuqtix]

This is the most expensive way to get a Mercedes with a m113k engine

[@Leonardo555ZZZ]

Except it is not a standard M113k engine ,,not to mention all the other differences in the car.

[@miseryparty3726]

Cheapest is an S55 with a rebuilt title and blown ABC!

[@leoz4692]

​@miseryparty3726 lol with extensive amount of haggling cheaper than buying a used long block. The way to go!

[@ftffighter]

@@miseryparty3726 Lol idk, you can get some CLS 55's that have rebuilt titles and are in baller mode 24/7 for dirt cheap in your nearest Ghetto.

I'm a Mercedes Benz guy that has a 04 clk base, but I like all the other clk unique design styles, my base might not be a AMG or DTM or Rentech, CLK320 car is my dream car, I wanted it for so long I finally owned one for 6 months got it detailed(it came out clean and nearly flawless, detailer said I had remarkable Mercedes paint work, (cleans or buffs out easy)), I prefer my semi analog technology Mercedes Benz instead of the new cars with electric power steering(no road feed back), "A TRUE GERMAN COUPE!" ... I prefer nothing else, I mean it. P.S. Seriously the seats are hard like rocks so I did need a lumbar support cushion, no longer had annoying thoughts of regretting of buying the car, because of the seats

[@v14da]

Great video, with no BS, I'm proud owner of E55 and CL55 and I just love these engines, people need to drive them more !

[@Leonardo555ZZZ]

Another excellent , informative video..As the owner of a CLK55 , it's nice to see the CLK 's getting some attention. I think the M113k engined cars would be the best choice ..rather than the more troublesome M156.

[@Smexy_af]

It was a troublesome engine but later M156s were reliable

[@J8den]

Yea! I have a CLK350 and i love it but i am already looking for a clk500,clk550, or clk55 :)

[@blitzy3244]

Probably the nicest fenders I've ever seen.

Amazing video!!! Definetly a holy grail amg and by far one of my favorites.

[@embajadoresboy4535]

Had the opportunity to drive this car, love it! Raw power and Rough handling, you can feel the road

[@ANDERZENAMG]

These cars are the life blood of my inspiration for my 6 speed swapped C55 AMG Track build.. Thank you!

[@anthonyleos4308]

Love your videos! Keep it up brotha

[@whitennnerdy]

My dream car. I knew I wouldn't realistically afford one so ended up buying a W209 CLK55 AMG. By no means comparable but plenty of fun on the UK roads

[@BlagoP]

The most powerful version of the M113K was in the SLR 722 edition, 650HP, 605TRQ

[@bernardwarr4187]

Another really good video keep up the good work! Ideas for further videos Slk 55 Black series? 203 c55 and c32 amg for early 2000's? The ML 55 AMG?

[@revinot]

@AMGmeister please do a Video on the CLK model range, I believe it has the most vast range of models of any car Mercedes has made, from everyday daily drivers(CLK 200-500) to sportscars(CLK 55 - CLK 63) to racecars(CLK BlackSeries ) to supercars(CLK DTM) to hypercars (CLKGTR ). There is basically a CLK that fits into any of the common car categories.

[@len333p]

Very interesting, thank you for the research.

[@siegfriedbarfuss9379]

great video - thanks! Wasn't there a DTM CLK with an M120 engine?

[@JustinSmithPYRO]

Holy shit I would love one of these. We have a 2014 C63 and it's a beast. But this thing is awesome. Never knew about the CLK the fact it only weighs about 18 pounds more then our car and has that much more horse and torque. Absolute monster. Gotta be a fun car to drive.

Of course is a unique car cuz the heart of thes car is the ultimate m113k engine Nothing like the m113k engine in mercedes amg series 👌

[@plxton]

Your videos make me so sad, to imagine what it was like 16 years ago and to have been wealthy enough to have owned these golden era Mercedes from new on less congested roads. I was only 7 but that doesn't matter!

[@NeverDieKnight]

You made me think the same.. woaw what a feeling that would've been, no social media no bs

[@Hamza-or7jm]

I believe the slr 722 edition had the most powerful m113k

[@razvan2379]

they were M155k's

[@Hamza-or7jm]

@@razvan2379 yeah but they are m113k derived, very similar just cams, intercooler, pistons I believe are the only difference

[@AMGmeister]

@@Hamza-or7jm Yes, the M155 was m113k derived but it is quite a different engine. On top of the changes you mentioned, the oil system is dry-sump like a racing car on the m155 in the SLR. The engine in the DTM is definitely closer to the E55/SL55 than the SLR.

[@Hamza-or7jm]

@@high5compliments45 see here’s the problem with your statement and mind sets. You don’t see these cars everyday this is not a CLK 55/63, these are real DTM cars you have to know what a collector car is when you see one son, learn before you speak.

[@kondjanegongo796]

It's basically the same engine as the SLR which is even more stagering

[@AMGmeister]

Not quite. While the DTM has almost as much power as the SLR, the engine is not as good. The SLR's engine is called the M155 and it has a dry-sump oil system and much better cooling. I talk about the M155 in my video on the SLR.

[@kondjanegongo796]

@@AMGmeister I get wat u mean but its a varient of the 113 engine in the all 500, 55, CLK nd SLR. So if we consider the dtm (with heavy mods to the engine to be a 113) then the SLR shud qualify as one too. Pity we loosing all v8 AMG engines soon. V12s are already gone. I swear all 65s and some m156 engines will soon become collector items

[@thatmatty231guy]

@@kondjanegongo796 Yea V12's in the 65's will be special but they're still doing V12 on the Maybach platform. The m156 probably a bit too common to be collectable just yet? Maybe M159?

[@kondjanegongo796]

@@thatmatty231guy I think they will take a decade and once many have died off, it will become sought after. No one can afford a maybach so it's not common nd the v12 is not AMG tuned like the 65.. A car like the 2005 SL 65 R230 is so cheap now yet has that brutal engine. Pity the trans sucks

I thought the SLR mclaren had the most powerful m113k engine every built?

Engine in the SLR is called the M155. Much more of a racing design, dry sump oil system etc.
