Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM 2000

Of the eight Mercedes-Benz CLK used by four teams entering the 2000 German Touring Car Masters (DTM), Team Original-Teile had the most unique coloring. The paint job on the body of the vehicle is a reproduction of the actual design marked on a Mercedes car part's box. Markings on the car's front depict it tearing out of a package as the engine of the vehicle rips through the wrapping. Tamiya is proud to present a 1/24 scale model reproduction of this powerful machine. The racing version of the Mercedes-Benz CLK maintained the same image as the 2-door coupe production version, but its "guts" were purely for racing. With its 4 litter V8 engine this machine took Team Original-Teile 2000 to the top ranks of the DTM. Driver Peter Dumbreck drew much attention when he captured 2nd place for the 7th and 8th races at Sachsenring.
