    Does anyone recognize these to Mercs from the MB museum?

    This classic in the MB museum collection.


    And this odd car which appears to be a CLK.



    I doubt it is a CLK GTR because it has a far too upright front.

    I think that first one is a Mercedes C111, it's rotary powered.

    Just for future reference though, we have a "What is this car?" official thread, so try to search for that first before posting a new thread.

    Oh man. I actually did look around but i guess not well enough.

    Doesn't appear to be a C111 though.

    btw, if a mod could move the thread that be great.

    It's not that big of a deal, don't worry.

    This was what I was talking about.

    It's weird, it looks very similar to the car in your photo, but different at the same time.

    I believe the second one is the CLK DTM Prototype from around 1999 (still attempting to verify in photos) as for the first car it definately looks to be from the same sort of period as the C111.

    The 3rd 1 is a CLK GTR Super Sport.
    I want to die in my sleep like my Grandma, not screaming like the other 3 people in her car.

    There are 10 types of people in this world. People who understand binary and people who don't.

    mercedes classic center 0158 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

    From my limited knowledge of german, I think it says it was just a design proposal. Possibly for the C111.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.
    Visca Catalunya!

    I'm pretty sure this is the same car as your second photo shows, if this be the case then it was a 2000 DTM design study displayed at the Frankfurt International Motor Show that same year.

    Sadly i've been unable to find further pictures of the CLK. Neither have i been able to put a title to the first photos, I did however find two more photos of it.
