For Sale at Auction: 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK in Amelia Island, Florida

Chassis No. WDB2094421T067269

The Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG launched in 2004 as a coupe, celebrating the brand's triumphs in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM). All 100 coupes sold out immediately, and in 2005, Mercedes followed up with an even rarer Cabriolet version. Limited to just 80 units, the CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet became the world's fastest four-seat convertible with a top speed of 186 mph, drawing high-profile owners including Juan Pablo Montoya and Mika H�kkinen.

Developed by HWA AG and AMG, the car was powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged V8, producing 582 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. It could sprint from zero-to-62 mph in just four seconds, with its performance matched by an aggressive design inspired by the DTM race car. Carbon fiber body panels, a prominent rear aerofoil, and widened arches complemented the car's motorsport DNA. The widened fenders house unique AMG double six-spoke 19x9-inch front and 20x10-inch rear wheels. The larger wheels not only improved grip but also allowed for massive carbon fiber brakes with 360 mm front rotors with six-piston calipers and 330 mm rotors with four-piston rear calipers.

Inside, the cabin was fitted with leather-clad AMG sport bucket seats, a suede-trimmed racing steering wheel, and four-point harnesses to complete the race-ready feel. In place of a conventional ashtray, a row of switches lets drivers instantly disable traction and stability control and adjust transmission settings, unleashing the car's full potential at the flick of a switch.

Delivered new in Germany in September 2006, this particular CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet was finished in Iridium Silver, echoing the legendary Silver Arrow racers, while the interior was appointed in Black Alcantara to complete its sporting character. It remained with its original owner until 2011 before being exported to New Zealand with its next caretaker. In August 2024, it was exported to the United States by its current owner under the Show and Display Rule. G&K Automotive Conversion Inc. of Santa Ana, California certified the car to be EPA and CARB compliant in October 2024. Accompanying the car is its importation documents and a letter from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirming its entry approval.

Today, this rarely seen AMG Cabriolet displays just 5,460 miles at the time of cataloging. In January 2025, the car was serviced by the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center of Long Beach, California in preparation for sale. It additionally benefits from a multi-step detail and full paint correction by I am Detailing of Costa Mesa, California. As the pinnacle of the track-focused CLK lineage, the DTM AMG Cabriolet offers a visceral, open-air driving experience that remains unmatched in its rarity and presence. Unavailable in the United States when new, this example is one of only a handful ever to be offered for sale to U.S. collectors through the Show and Display rule. With its motorsport pedigree, top-down thrills, and exclusivity, this low-mileage example provides an exciting opportunity to acquire one of AMG's most potent creations.
