Games
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
The CLK 500 appears in Need for Speed: Most Wanted with a $75,000 price tag and is unlocked upon beating Blacklist racer #8 - Jewels.
Due to its heavy weight, it suffers from understeer through corners but is suitable for ramming police vehicles in pursuits. Other advantages of the car are a high top speed and quick acceleration.
Kaze's
Kira "Kaze" Nakazato (Blacklist racer #7) drives a modified CLK 500 with a unique livery of a snake wrapped around a cherry blossom tree branch. Her car can be obtained from a pink slip marker after defeating her.
Need for Speed: Carbon
The CLK 500 appears in Need for Speed: Carbon as a tier 1 exotic class car.
It has worse handling than other exotics, but makes up for it with a high top speed and better acceleration. It is capable of reaching over 200 mph (322 km/h) when fully upgraded, and is also effective in pursuits due to its heavy mass.
