In 2004 the CLK DTM was the most powerful production car Mercedes had built to that date. With 582 bhp and 800NM of torque, the top speed was electrically limited to 200mph while 0-62 takes 3.8seconds. Both exterior and interior features carbon fibre panels to reduce weight and a stripped interior. The suspension was modified and wider and special wider tyres allowed the DTM to corner 30% harder than the standard CLK55 AMG of the time.

A limited number were built to mark the successes in the DTM race series of 100 Coupes and 80 Cabriolets and available only in the European, with the Coupe built for the 2004 model year and the Convertible for 2006. The cars were built by the same team responsible for the race cars with the body mods and aerodynamic aids giving enormous grip when cornering.

Juan Pablo Montoya and Mika Hakkinen who both competed in the DTM owned Cabriolet versions and Kimi Raikonnen and Jensen Button each have a Coupe
