A special version of the CLK is the CLK DTM AMG sports car, which looks similar to the full race car for the German Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters racing series which has to use a normally aspirated 4.0L V8, limited to less than 500 hp. About 100 street cars were released for sale in Europe, using AMG's supercharged 5.5L V8, now producing 428 kW (582PS) and 800 Nm (590ft.lbf). The front and rear track are widened by 2.9 and 4.2 inches (74 and 11 mm) respectively, and special tires and suspension modifications allow the car to pull 1.35 g (13 m/s²) of lateral acceleration. 0-100 km/h acceleration is just 3.9 seconds, and top speed is 320 km/h (199 mph). In Germany, the car cost 236,060 euro after taxes.
In addition to hard top CLK DTM AMG, 100 convertible versions of CLK DTM were made for 2006 model year, titled Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet. Compared to the coupe version, a speed limiter further reduces its top speed to 300 km/h (likely due to the top not able to withstand higher wind forces safely).
Owners of the CLK DTM Cabriolet includes former McLaren Mercedes Formula One drivers Juan Pablo Montoya and Mika Häkkinen. Häkkinen is currently racing for Mercedes in the DTM championship. McLaren Mercedes Formula One driver Kimi Räikkönen owns the hard top version of the CLK DTM.
