Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class Coupé (C209) (C209)

Sharper creases and a wider stance signaled maturity — the C209 CLK Coupé took the compact two-door formula established by the C208 and refined it into a more athletic, more technically advanced machine.

Mercedes-Benz introduced the second-generation CLK Coupé in 2002 on the W209 platform, sharing architecture with the C209/A209 range. Styling moved toward the brand's early-2000s design language; engines expanded to include the 5.0-liter and 5.4-liter AMG V8s that made the CLK 55 and CLK 63 genuine performance cars. The C209 also served as the basis for the CLK DTM AMG limited edition — a aerodynamic homage to Mercedes-Benz's Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters program.

Built from 2002 to 2009, the C209 CLK Coupé was the last generation to carry the CLK name before Mercedes-Benz consolidated its coupé strategy around the E-Class and C-Class two-doors.
