Mercedes-Benz C-Class DTM: three seasons in racing
The coupe was developed and built by HWA, Mercedes-AMG’s long-standing motorsport partner. The team used this example in the DTM championship from 2014 to 2016.
For the first two seasons, Paul di Resta drove it, returning to DTM after three years in Formula 1. In the opening round of 2015 at Hockenheim, he finished third and set the fastest lap of the race.
In 2016, the car received body panels in the style of the W205 generation and passed to Maximilian Götz. His best result in this chassis was fourth place in the first Moscow race.
Currently, the coupe again has the W204 exterior and the livery with number 3 that di Resta used in 2015. HWA sold the car to its current owner in June 2018.
