Mercedes-Benz, with the help of Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg, has unveiled the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe DTM racing car at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, currently in progress.
The new touring car will compete next year in the German Touring Car Masters (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) up against its main rivals; the BMW M3 DTM and the Audi A5 DTM cars. The 2012 Mercedes-Benz DTM car features a full carbon fibre monocoque chassis incorporated in with a race-spec sophisticated steel roll cage cabin structure.
The brakes, likewise, are carbon fiber, and don't offer ABS. Mechanical grip is handled by 12x18-inch front wheels and 13x18-inch rears mounted with 300-mm/310-mm race tires.
The latest Mercedes DTM car replaces the previous C-Class DTM, and Mercedes is hoping it can preserve its 62.5 percent win rate in the "new" DTM series.
Mercedes took the wraps off their new silver surfer that will challenge next year’s DTM. To cope with the power, the DTM AMG Mercedes C-Coupe has double wishbone suspension.
“Mercedes-Benz chose the IAA International Motor Show in Frankfurt to present the new 2012 DTM AMG Mercedes C-Coupe. HWA AG began development, design and construction of the DTM AMG Mercedes C-Coupe in June 2010. “This new-generation vehicle, based on our Mercedes-Benz C- Coupe, signals the introduction of an even more spectacular racing car from the start of 2012.
