An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is standard, while Brake Assist applies full braking force in panic stop faster than a driver could. The huge four-wheel discs are larger and thicker than the other CLKs, and the rear discs are specially vented to enhance cooling. The resulting firmer, more controlled ride is made even tighter by its high-performance ZR-rated low-profile tires. The four-wheel independent suspension is basically the same as the lesser CLK versions, but AMG fits higher-rated springs, tighter shock valving, larger diameter anti-roll bars and stiffer suspension bushings. The standard CLK chassis is used, and while the current version is not based on the new C-Class platform, the AMG version of the CLK offers some special undercarriage components. Standard traction control keeps wheelspin to a minimum, while its Electronic Stability Program (ESP) keeps the CLK on its intended path. Also a larger four-bolt driveshaft that's four inches in diameter connects to a reinforced rear differential to keep all the extra power under control. It is fully adaptive and electronically controlled, and is a stronger unit than that of the CLK 430.

The five-speed automatic transmission (722.6) is adapted from the gearbox used in the V-12 S-class models, because that gearbox can take the torque. These technologies help provide 362 hp (270 kW) and 376 lb⋅ft (510 N⋅m) of torque. The engine has a high compression ratio of 10.5:1. The 'dual-resonance' intake manifold with tuned runners helps optimize torque and power output by taking advantage of what Mercedes calls 'resonant frequencies'. The hardware list includes super-stiff forged billet steel crankshaft, forged, weight-matched connecting rods and pistons, lightweight AMG-specific chain-driven single overhead camshafts V8 (one cam per cylinder bank) with two intake and one exhaust valves per cylinder, as well as 8 coil packs and 16 spark plugs (two spark plugs per cylinder). The CLK 55 AMG is powered by a hand-assembled 5.4-litre V8 engine. The high-performance CLK 55 AMG, which was introduced first in Europe in 2000, was powered by the 347 PS (255 kW 342 bhp) M113 5.4 L V8 engine the CLK 55 AMG Cabriolet was launched in 2002, the last model year of this bodystyle.

Making it the first 2001 CLK 55 AMG Cabriolet. This allowed it to reach up to 0.83G's of lateral acceleration, and 66.5 mph on the slalom run.Īlthough the CLK 55 AMG Cabriolet didn't officially release until the following year, in 2001 the CLK 430 Cabriolet could be equipped with all the AMG options as a special order from the AMG factory with the full 55 AMG setup, which includes the CLK 55 AMG engine and transmission, AMG suspension, AMG brakes and full set up as a factory option. In the United States, the CLK 430 could be equipped with a "Sport Package," which gave it the external styling of the more powerful CLK 55 AMG, and equipped it with the same wheels and tires as its AMG counterpart (see section "CLK 55 AMG"). Wing mirror-mounted turn signals were implemented in 2001 for the 2002 year model. In late 1999 for the 2000 model year, a facelift was launched which incorporated, among others, a revised instrument cluster with a bigger multifunction display, steering wheel with controls for the multifunction display and radio, Tiptronic automatic gearbox, revised bumpers and new side skirts. All models were available in both coupé and convertible form. The CLK GTR FIA GT1 racing car appeared in 1998, powered by a 5.9 L V12 engine 25 road-going CLK GTRs were made. The CLK 320 Coupé was introduced in the 1997 model year, powered by a 218 PS (160 kW 215 bhp) 3.2 L V6 engine. Two versions were initially available: the four-cylinder CLK 200 (136 PS (100 kW 134 bhp)) and four-cylinder supercharged CLK 230 Kompressor 193–197 PS (142–145 kW 190–194 bhp). MB returned to the same approach in 2023 with the Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class. Although the W208 used components from the E-Class (W210), aesthetic based on the E-Class and had a specification level higher than the E-Class, it was in fact based on the less expensive C-Class (W202) platform. The CLK introduced a new market niche for Mercedes-Benz. The W208 coupé was replaced by the W209 CLK-Class in 2002 (for the 2003 model year), although the convertible remained in production until 2003 when replaced by the C209 CLK. The first-generation C208/A208 CLK was introduced in 1997, and was based on the W202 Mercedes-Benz C-Class launched three years earlier.
