Both the CLK saloon and convertible variants will be based on the new C-class platform but with a few added refinements to meet the expectations of the somewhat more ambitious coupé-drivers.

These new shots reveal the shape of the headlights for the first time, somewhat resembling the new E-class rather than the C-class on which it is based.

The powertrain on the other hand will be lifted from the C-class and will include a V8 unit for the CLK500.

Our sources inform us the new CLK saloon is due to hit dealers across Europe in summer 2009 with the convertible to follow shortly after.

Here we have our clearest look yet of an almost completely undisguised example of the new generation Mercedes-Benz CLK Coupe.   The new CLK Coupe and Cabriolet is larger and more focussed than its predecessor, closely resembling the new E-Class range rather than the C-Class from which it has been derived.

Here’s proof Mercedes is working hard on the next generation CLK. Bigger and yet a bit more elegant than the outgoing model, the new CLK (and CLK convertible likewise) will be based on the C-class saloon.

Mercedes-Benz CLK Cabriolet spied
While at first this may appear to be the new CLK Coupe, a second glance reveals this latest prototype from Mercedes boasts a folding hard top roof.   While the camouflage for the most part disguises the roofline, a joint between the windshield and roof clearly indicates this is the next-generation CLK Cabriolet.

    From memory, CLK has always being based on C-class but styled to look like E-class to commend a price premium well over C-class.

    Hopefully they can make the new CLK handle well as the current C-class is quite a promising platform to start work with. Wonder if the next AMG version will still use the 6.2 V8, or switch to some form of turbo charged V8.
