Offered for sale is a truly unique Mercedes-Benz CLK W208, featuring a fully built AMG M113 supercharged engine and extensive motorsport modifications.
The vehicle was built over the course of several years with an uncompromising technical approach. The project’s goal was not to restore a production model, but to develop a road-legal high-performance vehicle focused on acceleration, durability, and state-of-the-art control systems.
The original mechanical and electronic systems have been largely replaced; the engine and transmission are now managed by fully programmable motorsport control units. Consequently, the vehicle shares virtually no technical commonality with a standard CLK 55 AMG. Engine

Performance
The car was engineered for drag racing and maximum acceleration. Due to the vehicle's low weight combined with the installed M113K engine, it is suitable only for experienced drivers.
The powertrain's output is currently restricted to ensure traction remains manageable on public roads.
Engine mileage since complete build: approx. 150 km
Project completion: June 2026
Documentation
- Over 1,000 photos of the entire build process available
Special Feature
This vehicle is not a modified production CLK, but a high-performance project featuring a bespoke technical design.
The project focused on maximizing technical performance rather than maintaining originality. The engine, fuel system, cooling, control systems, and transmission were all engineered specifically for high-performance operation.
The standard CLK DTM AMG is considered one of the most capable vehicles in its class. However, this vehicle was built with the specific goal of significantly surpassing the technical and performance capabilities of the CLK DTM AMG.
Conversion and development costs alone amount to approximately 114.000 Dollar.
Numerous components were custom-made or modified specifically for this project. Many of the installed solutions are unique to this vehicle; no other CLK worldwide features this specific configuration.
The sale is motivated solely by the start of a new project, not by financial necessity.
Note
No test drives for casual sightseers.
Demonstrations are reserved exclusively for serious prospective buyers who can provide proof of their intent to purchase.
