to sum all the frenchness up

It says that MB will use their DTM experience to let AMG produce a road version of the CLK-GTR. The same 5.5 V8 that is used in DTM will output 610HP. The aim is to essentially crush cars like the M3 CSL.

They also mention that the picture shows the first protoype being tested on the road... and they go on about describing the agressive look of the car (skirts, front lip, etc.). Production is expected to be very limited.
so this is actually real- not some old guy w/lots of money and a crazy midlife crisis!

I thought AMG had the knowledge

 

Good god... this takes the horsepower wars to a whole new level....I can't imagine what we'll see next. That's just awesome

 

the rear look like EVO and side looks like Lexus RS

 

I got a bit bored so I decided to translate the article

''>Mercedes GT-R
The Latest DTM Replica?

The latest project for Mercedes : profit from the DTM investment by building a civilized version from the monster participating in the German Championship. The task has been obviously handed to AMG. The first prototype handling very, very well with its bulgy fenders at the front and at the back, its front spoiler and its rear lip where two exhaust tips stick out with a diameter that disguise the true power of the machine. Like his DTM cousin, the 5.5 V8 engine produces 610hp. Produced in a very limited number, the Mercedes GT-R, more powerful, is a response to BMW's M3 CSL. If only BMW built its M3 GT V8...''
