About the Mercedes CLK #18 Team Persson S. Mucke DTM 2004 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:43 diecast Mercedes CLK wears Team Persson's #18 livery driven by S. Mucke in the 2004 DTM season. The body is a fixed one-piece shell, its detail carried entirely on the exterior for a German touring car display.

The CLK replaced the C-Class as Mercedes' DTM weapon in this era, giving the series a sleeker coupe silhouette across a new generation of factory competition.

Exterior Diecast Detail on the Persson CLK

With the panels fixed as a single casting, this CLK's DTM-spec wide arches and rear wing carry the entire visual argument, and Minichamps' one-piece construction keeps shutlines tight around that aerodynamic bodywork. The Team Persson livery prints with clean, sharp registration across the doors and bonnet, and the number 18 sits legibly against the body colour. The CLK's more coupe-like silhouette, compared to the sedan-based W202 and W203 cars that preceded it in Mercedes' DTM lineage, comes through clearly in the casting's proportions.

Team Persson's Role in Mercedes' 2004 DTM Effort

Team Persson operated as one of Mercedes' respected customer squads within the DTM's structure, running alongside the manufacturer's more direct factory entries during a period when Mercedes and Audi dominated the championship. Mucke's 2004 season with this team represents that customer-team layer of the sport, distinct from the works cars but still competing at the same professional level. For a collector building a full Mercedes DTM grid from this era, this Persson CLK adds variety beyond the factory liveries, showing how the manufacturer's presence extended across multiple teams running the same underlying chassis.
