Available in a sexy coupe or dynamic convertible, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class is a soulful blend of style and substance. A range of powerful engines, bountiful luxury amenities, and sculpted lines are the defining characteristics of the lineup. Coupes include the CLK350 and CLK550, while convertible choices include the CLK350 Cabriolet, CLK550 Cabriolet, and CLK63 AMG.

Three engines choices redefine exhilaration. A potent 3.5 liter 24-valve V6 with 268 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque comes standard in the CLK350. The CLK550 steps things up with a 5.5 liter 32-valve V8 engine producing 382 horsepower and 391 lb.-ft. of torque. The ferocious CLK63 AMG houses a 6.3 liter AMG-built DOHC 32-valve V8 engine with a bombastic 475 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. All engines are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission, with CLK350 models incorporating the Touch Shift feature, and the CLK63 AMG featuring AMG SPEEDSHIFT™ with direct manual control for 50 percent faster gear changes.

A commitment to ultimate luxury is part of the essence of a proper Mercedes-Benz, and the CLK-Class does not disappoint. With a swath of class-leading features, both the coupes and cabriolets feature amenities like dual-zone climate control, an optional advanced DVD navigation system with the COMAND (Cockpit Management and Data) system, a selection of 17- and 18-inch wheels, luxurious leather seating surfaces, and a fully automatic power soft top on CLK Cabriolet models. Option packages add additional features like a glass sunroof (CLK Coupes) Harman Kardon® Sound System, SIRIUS® Satellite Radio, 6-disc CD changer, bi-xenon active headlamp system, and cross-drilled brake rotors

An active safety system utilizes multiple features to protect occupants from a variety of road conditions and driving hazards. Driver and front passenger are each provided with a dual-stage front air bag (adaptive for the front passenger), a side-impact air bag (coupes) or head/thorax air bag (cabriolets), and a 3-point seat belt with an Emergency Tensioning Device (ETD) and adaptive belt force limiter. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) integrates all-speed traction control, which senses drive-wheel slip under acceleration. In the CLK Cabriolet models, sensor-controlled roll bars disguised as head restraints offer additional protection for top-down motoring.

With a mellifluous blend of timeless style and inspired performance, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class is the perfect luxury coupe or grand touring convertible.
