Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series

If you are not already noticing a trend, I am a Mercedes-Benz guy and the three-pointed star makes some of the best cars in the world. Therefore, this explains the frequent amount of Mercedes-Benz posts. The CLK63 AMG Black Series is the most hardcore of the last-generation CLK models sold in North America. In regards to the previous statement, the most extreme version of the 2003-09 CLK is the limited-edition CLK DTM, which never made its way stateside. Like many AMG models of the late 2000s and early 2010s, the CLK Black Series has a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 under the hood, but with 500 horsepower and 478 lb-ft of torque. It can launch from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 186 mph. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic gearbox. On the exterior, notable differences between the CLK63 Black Series and a standard AMG CLK include a more aerodynamic front bumper, carbon fiber air intakes, a carbon fiber rear spoiler, a carbon fiber rear diffuser, and flared wheel arches. The rear seats, several power-adjustable features, and other amenities have been removed from the CLK Black Series in order to conserve weight. As with the entire CLK range, the CLK63 Black Series doesn't have pillars between the front and rear side windows, which enhances the vehicle's beauty when the windows are rolled down. The CLK63 Black Series was only produced for the 2008 model year, with less than 700 in existence and only 367 shipped to the US, priced at $135k when new. To sum things up, the Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series is an incredible vehicle and flies under the radar with its subtle styling changes from the rest of the CLK lineup.
