Market commentary
After Bernd Schneider won the DTM title in 2003 in a Mercedes-Benz, the company offered essentially a 200-mph-capable DTM car for the road. Mercedes-Benz sold 100 coupes and 80 cabriolets, though there can't be more than a handful of either in the U.S. RM Sotheby's offered a coupe one lot after this, and it sold for a very similar $665,000, including fees.
