About the Mercedes CLK DTM #18 Persson Motorsport M. Tiemann DTM 2000 Maisto 1:18

TL;DR: Maisto's 1:18 diecast Mercedes CLK DTM #18 reproduces the Persson Motorsport livery driven by M. Tiemann during the 2000 DTM season, the year the championship relaunched Mercedes factory-backed touring car competition. Entry-tier diecast construction covers the widebody race silhouette at an accessible price.

DTM's 2000 relaunch brought Mercedes back into German touring car competition with purpose-built race silhouettes, and Persson Motorsport was among the teams campaigning that new generation of car on track.

Entry-Tier Diecast of a Widebody Touring Racer

This CLK DTM's flared fenders, deep front splitter, and towering rear wing translate clearly at 1:18, with the #18 racing number and Persson Motorsport sponsor graphics reproduced as tampo-printed detail rather than hand-applied decals. Maisto keeps construction simple at this price point: doors and hood operate on basic hinges, the cockpit is simplified compared to the real car's stripped-out race interior, and panel gaps run wider than costlier resin pieces show. What comes through well is the shape itself, the aggressive, flared bodywork that separated DTM's silhouette racers from anything sold as a road car under the CLK name.

A Snapshot of DTM's Relaunch Era

The DTM championship returned in 2000 after several quiet years, bringing manufacturer-backed touring car racing back to German circuits with cars built specifically for the series rather than adapted from showroom models. Persson Motorsport ran as one of several teams fielding Mercedes machinery that season, part of a competitive field that helped reestablish DTM's place in European motorsport. Displayed among other early-2000s DTM cars, this CLK marks a genuine turning point for the championship.
