Engine choices include a 268-bhp 3.5L V-6 (CLK350) and a 382-bhp 5.5L V-8 (CLK550), or pick the 475-bhp 6.3L V-8 in the CLK63 AMG. All are equipped with a a 7-speed automatic. A dizzying array of options allows customers to personalize their CLK; especially the "designo" packages, which combine interior and exterior trim with a color-coordinated theme.
