CLK63 Black Series

After doing so with the SLK 55 AMG just recently, engineers are now making the CLK 63 AMG even sportier

Merc technicians are about to develop an exclusive, emphatically puristic special series, a car that sets new standards in handling dynamics ? the CLK 63 AMG Black Series. With the AMG 6.2-litre V8 engine, which has been boosted to 530 bhp, the numerous lightweight components, 19-inch AMG forged wheels, AMG adjustable sports suspension and AMG high-performance composite brakes, the special CLK 63 AMG brings its sports car talents to bear even more convincingly ? and cuts an impressive figure especially on racing circuits.

Broad, brawny and low-slung ? it's clear at first glance that the CLK 63 AMG Black Series is something very special. It offers a captivating view from the front with a redesigned AMG front apron and its broad openings, which supply the added transmission-oil cooler and the high-performance steering-oil cooler with plenty of fresh air. In addition, new side outlets made of carbon ? still disguised in our pictures ? ensure effective ventilation for the engine-oil coolers. The front wings, now wider, are made of reinforced plastic with ultra-light carbon-fibre composite material and feature black outlined air outlets.

The combination of low vehicle weight and a powerful AMG eight-cylinder engine ensures first-class performance. This CLK 63 AMG Black Series accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in only 4.5 seconds (standard model: 5.2 s). Power transmission is accomplished using the AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7G-TRONIC with manual drive program ("M") and AMG aluminium gearshift paddles on the steering wheel.

If a standard AMG version of your favorite Mercedes model isn't enough for you, then the gang from Stuttgart now has something even more special. Introducing the Black Edition AMG CLK63. The Black Edition has already been running on Formula One circuits as the official Safety Car. During the course of the presentation, two technicians came out and converted the safety car to street spec by simply removing the light bar and F1 stickers from the roof and doors.

To create a Black Edition, they add a 500-hp version of the 6.3L V8 that can push the CLK to an electronically governed 186mph after passing 60mph in a scant 4.1 seconds. The wider carbon-fiber fenders enclose 19-inch forged aluminum wheels that themselves enclose composite brake rotors measuring 14.2 inches in front and 13 inches in the back. Lots of additional vents in the front valence and fenders help to manage airflow for cooling and downforce. The limited slip differential in the rear also has it's own oil cooler with a thermostatically controlled fan.
