Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG

[Dave A]

Right, thanks for clearing that up.

 

[pimp racer]

Yeah thanks.

So then how come none of the CLKs are supercharged?

Anybody?

 

[pimp racer]

The CLK DTM the one we are talking about?

 

[1X83Z]

Okay. Scaff said 'kompressor' means 'supercharger.' Logic there is that all Mercedes cars with 'kompressor' in their title have a supercharger. So why doesn't the CLK?

The K in CLK doesn't stand for Kompressor. Even the SLK isn't completely supercharged, only the SLK230. The SLK320 (and new SLK350) are naturally aspirated.

Okay. So Scaff was wrong.

Opps, sorry about that guys.

Guess that taught me a lesson, post in haste, repent at leasure.

Still, I'm not the first and damn sure I won't be the last.

Don't worry about it - I just wanted to know what was up.

 

[pimp racer]

I am not sure if this has anything to do with this but this is what the Mercedes Benz naming scheme stand for.

C-Class = Compact
E-Class = Executive
S-Class = Super
G-Class = Geländewagen
ML-Class = Mobility
SL-Class = Sports Lightweight
SLK-Class = Sport Light Compact
