To help reduce engine weight and increase durability, the engine block is made of cast aluminum with a solid bedplate, an ideal construction for performance and durability. Indeed, the engine’s smooth, immediate power delivery whisks the CLK 550 Coupe from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds(1); the CLK 550 Cabriolet, in 5.2.(1)

The CLK-Class features numerous advances in braking, including internally ventilated discs to ensure that the brakes stay cool. The CLK350 Cabriolet, equipped with the Sport Appearance Package, also offers perforated front discs for powerful, nearly fade-free stopping control.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

This advance continually monitors your vehicle’s motion to help keep you going in your intended direction. If it detects wheelspin, severe understeer (plowing) or oversteer (fishtailing), ESP can brake individual wheels and reduce engine power to help bring the vehicle under control.
