Mercedes-Benz C-Class DTM AMG
The 2007 AMG-Mercedes C-Class is the third generation of this model, and is the most successful car in the history of the DTM with 54 victories out of 106 races in which it has been entered until the end of 2006. Development, design and construction began in March 2006, and after a ten-month sprint, the new C-Class made its debut on the race track in January 2007.
Bernd Schneider and Bruno Spengler were the drivers at its roll-out and initial testing in Estoril, Portugal. Technical director of HWA, Gerhard Ungar, headed the team that began with a 1:2 scale wind tunnel model to focus on aerodynamic development. Parts had to be designed and manufactured completely new to match the car's new silhouette.
The V8 engine is optimised for driveability, equipped with two air restrictors each with a diameter of 28 millimetres as stipulated by the regulations, and delivers a peak torque of 500 Nm. The engineers also worked on the suspension, giving a new scope to handling and driving dynamics with the new toe-in and camber angles.
