Sportauto drove CLK-DTM Cabrio - 06-01-2006, 08:51 AM

CLK-DTM Cabrio
0 - 100 km/h 4,2 s
0 - 200 km/h 13,0 s
Hockenheim 1.15,0 min

Sportauto said its not a sportcar like the Coupé. Topspeed limited to 300km/h for the Cabrio version.

------------------------------------------------------------

Compare it to CLK-DTM Coupé
0 - 100 km/h 3,9 s
0 - 200 km/h 11,8 s
Hockenheim 1.12,5 min

Give me the one without Cabrio. I love the one with roof

I don't understand why MB made a cabrio version of this car, it's meant to be a hardcore race car, not one for looking good in!

It's a bit like BMW making an M3 CSL cabrio, just doesn't work! These cars must be fixed coupes because that is what makes them most rigid!

Lol, they made a CLK-GTR roadster too, which was basically a road-legal racecar. I don't know why they did.

the laptime for the Cabrio isnt that great, slower than M6 and other porsches. The coupe is better prepared for the track.

I really couldn't care less for the cab, the coupe is definitely my choice.

I sure they didn't make that much money, all the engineering that went into this car, and only 100 are being made!
