Future Youngtimer
The Mercedes-Benz CLK is a coupé/cabriolet produced by the
the star between 1997 and 2009. A clever mix of the C-Class chassis
the chassis of the C-Class and the design of the E-Class at the time, the
CLK borrows the engines of both cars. This model
model spans two phases: the W208 which was produced between 1997 and
2002 and the W209 produced between 2002 and 2009. Of course, the
CLK did not fall through the cracks of the AMG net. The engine is
5.5L V8 with 347 hp. And like many MercedesBenz AMGs, the CLK 55 will have its moment of glory as a Safety
car in Formula 1 competitions. Between 1997 and 1998, it was the
the official car of this race in its first phase (W208) and
(W208) and the experience will be repeated in 2003, in its second
phase and still with the 5.5L but with 367hp this time. You
you will have understood, this car is not just any car.
The example presented is not a simple CLK 55 AMG, it is an exact replica of the
an exact replica of the Safety Car from 1997/1998. Under the bonnet
first of all, you'll find the 5.5 with 347 horsepower that propels you
propels you from one end of the track to the other (the motorway not being a
track of course). In terms of aesthetics, this car has all the
codes of the official Safety Car. It is painted in grey, has F1 Safety Car
the F1 Safety Car markings on the doors and on the bonnet and,
the icing on the cake, functional flashing lights on the roof. If it hasn't
the world's most iconic tracks, it's just as well!
just like it! The car is ready to take you on a F1 adventure
adventure, accompanied by the purr of the engine and the orange
orange lights. "
