CLK :
Forget virtual reality. The best way to get onto the superhighway is
to choose the real thing, the CLK. After all, nothing can compare with
the look, the feel and the sound of the actual car. The CLK is designed
to appeal to the senses, to inspire you to rediscover the pleasures of
motoring and enjoy being behind the wheel. The combination of powerful
engines and sure-footed chassis means the CLK responds to your commands
instantly and accurately, while the flowing lines of the coupé have
a vogue and elegance all of their own.
They echo the look of the E-class but have been adapted to suit the
curving, shortened lines of this compact coupé. And, true to Mercedes-Benz
traditions, the CLK has brains as well as beauty, incorporating among its
many innovations an electronic 'Brake Assist' which enhances the ABS by
significantly reducing stopping distances in an emergency.
