W208

The Mercedes-Benz W208 coupes and convertibles were produced from 1998 to 2002. They were sold under the CLK-Class model names. The W208 models were the CLK 200 4-cylinder, CLK230 4-cylinder, CLK 320 V6, CLK 430 V8 and CLK 55 AMG. All models were available in both coupe and cabriolet form.

The CLK introduced a new market niche for Mercedes-Benz. Although the W208 used components from the E-Class and had a specification level higher than the E-Class, it was in fact based on the C-Class platform. Motorola W208 è un cellulare molto semplice ed Motorola W375.

The CLK features a number of innovative accessories and systems, such as tow-away protection and an emergency transmission mode.

The CLK 430, although not branded as such, is in fact also an AMG model.

The W208 was succeeded by the W209, also called the CLK.
