Default Mercedes GT-R

Hello, everyone!

I've found this on the net: Mercedes wants to produce a road version of the Mercedes CLK-DTM. From what I've seen, it has a 5.5 liters V8 with a compressor and produces 610 HP.
Here are some pics:

Anyone knows more about this?

Wow sweet find.....I so hope Mercedes makes it.... not even an aftermarket M3 would stand a chance
I also love how it looks exactly like the DTM racer

Mercedes benz is really trying hard to change its fuddy - duddy image- need to make some decent manual gearboxes, add porsche communicative steering and bmw handling balance - then there sports cars will be among the best available..

Love what AMG have done with the V8 5.5 liter - thats one beast of an air pump!
