The original CLK-Class coupe debuted on the C208 body code for the 1998 model year in the United States, bringing Mercedes-Benz styling with a two-door layout based on the contemporary C-Class platform. U.S. versions included six-cylinder and V8 variants, along with AMG performance models during the lifecycle. This first coupe phase ended before the facelifted C208 update arrived for 2003.
