CLK-Class (C209) Next generation CLK (spy pics, CGIs, info)
- Thread starter Zafiro
- Start date
The Mercedes-Benz C209 is the second generation CLK-Class, launched in 2002. The car was available in both hardtop coupé (C209) and in soft-top convertible (A209). Although its design and styling was derived from the E-Class, the mechanical underpinnings were based on the smaller C-Class. It was succeeded by the E-Class C207. Production: 2001–2009.

I have to admit, I'm not digging it. Will wait for official photos I think.

Assuming that this is the finished product, I'd be heading straight to the Audi dealer.

Hope you're right, Artist
. I will give MB the benefit of the doubt until I see the official photos. They've done a great job on the W204 IMO so hopefully they don't screw it up with the new CLK.

Long awaited amongst Mercedes fans, we got the first spy shots today in Stuttgart. Mercedes is hard working on the next generation CLK which is bigger and yet a bit more elegant than the outgoing model. The new CLK coupe and convertible just like their predecessor will be based on the still-new W204 C-Class saloon. Going in the same direction of the new C-Class, the CLK's chassis is expected to give greater driving dynamics and will lose some of it's softness in pursuit of a slightly younger, more performance orientated driver. Although heavily covered in flat black tape, we can see the overall shape of the CLK as well as some design details such as obvious C-Class styling in the front grille and headlamps plus trapezoidal exhaust tips for the CLK 550 model. Engines are expected to match those coming from the C-Class line-up in addition to the S-Class 382hp 5.5 liter V8 for the CLK 550 pictured here with the registration plate M ZY 1011. We expect the car to arrive at dealers in summer 2009 with the convertible following a year later.

Finally some spy shots. The will be one very interesting car. Dressed it all that camo it heavily resemble the CL back in the days when it was rolling on the streets dressed in fake panels.
I have very high hopes for this car and it can turn out to be a mini CL offering supreme beauty under the 50k. The exhaust tips look very interesting too and it seem like this isn't going 100% be a C-class with 2 doors. A5 and E92 better watch out.

Yep. It really looks like a mix of CL / CLS side profile with new E-class inspired fascia & rear end.
