The sporty, exclusive atmosphere of the interior
is especially characterised by the grippy AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel,
aluminium-look sports pedals and special velour floor mats. The letter
combination CLK has denoted excitement and driving pleasure for many years.
The new "Sport Edition" special model now makes the Coupés and Cabriolets
of the Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class even more desirable. Both externally and in
the interior, the Sport Edition further upgrades the CLK models and makes
them even more attractive and dynamic. The exciting design of the CLK-Class
is accentuated by muscular AMG styling features for an even more dynamic
appearance. These include a front apron with more pronounced contours, as
well as the rear apron and side skirts which typify AMG models. Large, 18-inch
light-alloy wheels in a new, six twin-spoke design (front 225/40 R 18, rear
255/35 R18) further enhance the sporty appearance and contribute to driving
pleasure. The same applies to the perforated front brake discs. The brake
callipers of Sport Edition models bear the lettering "Mercedes-Benz". The
special CLK Sport Edition models are equipped with bi-xenon headlamps including
dynamic beam control, cornering lights with an integral foglamp function
and a headlamp washer system as standard. The Active Light System is also
available as optional equipment. A large, chrome-plated exhaust tailpipe
and a special rear silencer provide a sonorous, sporty exhaust note.
The new Sport Edition is based on the already sporty
configuration of the luxurious AVANTGARDE design and equipment line. In models
equipped with an automatic transmission, an AMG sports steering wheel with
upper sections of perforated leather and steering wheel shift paddles ensures
an even more sporty touch. Depending on the engine variant, a further technical
highlight is available in the form of the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic
transmission, the world's only car transmission of this kind. Its seven gears
can be shifted either automatically, via a manual shift programme or by means
of steering wheel shift paddles as in the motor racing world. Moreover, 7G-TRONIC
Sport reduces gearshift times by up to 30 percent. The sporty atmosphere
of the interior is accentuated by black upholstery in a combination of
high-quality ARTICO man-made leather and fabric. A black leather interior
is also available on request. Other sporty touches include a sports pedal
cluster with an aluminium look and non-slip studs, as well as velour floor
mats with silver-coloured edging. The special models of the Mercedes-Benz
CLK Sport Edition are available as Coupés and Cabriolets, with a choice
of six powerful engine variants which are among the most economical in their
class. This attractive enhancement package provides a further individualisation
option, and is only available for AVANTGARDE variants of the CLK models.
The cost of this sporty equipment package is 3 332 Euro (incl. VAT).
