Mercedes-Benz CLK500. The two-door hardtop: Still sexy after all these years. Here I talk about 3 interesting, little-known facts & features of the CLK500
Against the old benchmarks, this CLK500 is something of an extremist. It packs very reasonable room for four adults into a package that's downright compact, not quite 183 inches long, nearly a foot shorter than a Camaro. Extreme, too, is the 5.0-liter V-8's thrust; 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds will get you the last word in most exchanges. Back on those long-ago summer nights, this Benz would have shown its taillights to all the bad boys on the blacktop and had the girls paying for rides.
The Mercedes-Benz CLK500 Coupe was the hardtop variant of the W209 CLK500. Introduced for the 2003 model year, the CLK 500 coupe was powered by Mercedes' M113 E50 engine, which was a 5.0L V8. This powerplant generated 302hp - 339 torque - which was sent to the rear wheels via a 5 speed automatic transmission. Production of the CLK 500 ended in 2006, when the CLK received a facelift as well as new engines, resulting in the the CLK500 being replaced by the the W209 Mercedes-Benz CLK550.
