Mercedes CLK

Here’s prove that Mercedes is hard at work on the next generation CLK

Bigger and yet a bit more elegant than the outgoing model, the new CLK (and CLK convertible likewise) will be based on the still-new C-class saloon. It goes without saying, however, that modifications will be done to the chassis to meet expectations of the somewhat more ambitious coupé-drivers. Engines will come from the C-class line-up and will include a V8 for a CLK 500 pictured here with the M ZY 1011 registration plate.

We expect the car to arrive at the dealers in summer 2009 with the soft-top following just a few months later
