Only 2,580 miles, what a shame. You've got to have a pretty good stable to just let that car sit. Nice door panels, the speakers in the door must be the heaviest component.

Lota $$ for a show and display only car! They were 250K euros when new.

Lmited production has a cache, but on the track black series is just as fast unless your at a very long track like Spa. If you think the black series sounds good you should hear this car at full wail.

That car is beautiful!

I tried pushing the VIN WDB2093421F154436 through different MB software and kept coming up with a CLK200 Kompressor... wanted the part numbers for that steering wheel, gauges, etc...

This is funny! They actually started life as a CLK 200 Kompressor so it is correct.

They arrived at HWA as fully completed cars before their transformation into CLK DTM's.

Super Sick, but not $429,000 dollars Worth. Especially if it is only licensed for show. If I spent that kind of scratch on a car, i would like to be able to drive it when ever. Just my $.02.

alexander stemer · 10-07-2008, 06:57 PM

I love some of the interior details, but (I may be alone on this) but prefer the styling of the BS. In this world of add on rear wings and skirt kits, I think most people looking at the DTM would assume "aftermarket mods".
Components like the brakes, rear dif, coil overs seem to have been transported well to the BS. And, I prefer NA engines. Plus, I have no interest in owning a car I can't drive. AS

jrcart · 10-07-2008, 07:31 PM

They're on ludes...good ones too! The only way they are going to get $429k for that thing is if they sell it to some Oil Sheik in the middle east who's kid is dying for one. About a year ago I saw one that went for $330k and it was a U.S. street legal, road going version (so they claimed).

If I had $429K sitting around I would buy a Black Series and drop $70K on some sick mods. I would still have a car that was nearly as rare and could at least keep up with, if not spank a DTM on the track and still have $240K left over in my pocket to buy an SL 65 Black Series....oh, wait a second, that's what I did

You serious...?

JosephLINY-E55 · 10-07-2008, 08:00 PM

The SL65 Black series is going to sell for a prem over the 350K sticker if you can get one as they are only producing around 350 in total...

JCART - my apologies my July 28 issue of Autoweek stated list price of $320,000 350 build and 200 coming to US. My friend who is a GM of a large MB dealership told me last month at a party that he heard of higher pricing based upon the very limited production numbers. He stated that his dealership may only be able to get 2 copies that will be sold probably above based on demand... No official pricing to date as I was only passing on info that I read and heard - my bad! Best regards, Joseph

JosephLINY-E55 · 10-07-2008, 09:18 PM

PS JCART I love what you've done to your CLK Black Series - it's a killer

2MANYCARS · 10-07-2008, 09:52 PM

JosephLINY-E55,
I heard different story, and it's from MB Manhattan's top guys. Anyway, like JCART, I'm getting mine @ MSRP and the first one too, I can hardly wait for the car to show up at my house in Long Island.

The CLK DTM is truly a masterpiece, but for 429K, it's alot. With that kind of money, I would get an SL Black and an S Class for daily use. 429K for a car that's not street legal is just rediculous.

These dealerships always try to hype up cars and try to ask premiums for them. Look at what happened with the CLK Black Series, I'm sure a few dealerships sold them at a big premium but most delarships sold them for MSRP. If you look around you will see a bunch of them still at dealerships, brand new at greatly reduced prices. Remeber there were only 500 $139k CLK Blacks produced and they can't sell them, what makes these dealerships think the are going to be able to move 200-300 $300+k SL Blacks? FYI according to two local dealerships I have spoken to, they are hardly getting anyone asking about these new SL Black Series, and I live in an affluent area. What does that tell you? I was half tempted to wait a while and try to grab one at $25k under MSRP. There are no waiting lists for these cars, call up a few dealerships outside of the ones in major citys and you can get one, and get it for MSRP.

Congrats on your upcoming SL 65, just one question. You claim you are getting one of the first ones, why does your sig say March delivery? I heard late December for the first batch and mine is due in the week of 1/11/09. Did your dealership respond to their allocation(s) late or something?
