The CLK320 was a variant of the Mercedes-Benz CLK that was introduced as part of the First Generation W208 CLK. Introduced in 1998, the CLK 320 was available as a Coupe or Convertible, and was powered by Mercedes' M112 E32 engine. This 3.2L V6 engine generated 194hp, which it sent to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission. Production of the CLK 320 coupe ended in 2002, but production of the convertible version continued until 2003. The CLK 320 would continue life in the Second Generation CLK, as the W209 CLK320.
