For the 40th anniversary of AMG-turned, Mercedes added an limited-edition of the CLK63 called black Series. The black Series CLK63 weighs near to 3,918-pound and runs 500 HP with a muscle of 6.2liter V8. When it comes to acceleration to 60 mph, the Benz achieve the feat in 4.4 seconds. That’s all well and good, but there are some bits that make this especially interesting.
If there is one thing that lets things down, it’s the price, in fact the German automaker will produce up to 500 examples for $136000. You can think of the black Series as the brother of CLK63 that has been launched last year. It sports an large front that open a feed air to a larger radiator and a second transmission cooler.
The benefits adopted in this car is something that may help you find out. The major improvements are been made on the structure and suspension. It sports the flare fenders, flanked in front by huge carbon-fiber, 19-inch wheels and tires, larger brake rotors that measures an massive 14.2 inches at the front and a still impressive 13 inches in the back. The car is also equipped with rocker panel extensions and a carbon-fiber rear decklid spoiler.
It’s essentially an two front seats, so the vehicle is more lighteen, since it’s intended to be a track car.
The Black Series suspension makes the outgoing BMWM3’s scemsoft. The 14.2 - inch front and 13.0 - inch rear rotors transfer their stopping power to competition - rated Pirelli Pzero Corsa tires mounted on nineteen - inch forged aluminum. The quad exaust pipes are housed in a large rear diffuser.
Conclusion
“Yet even as the 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series joins the 500-hp club, we might be coming to the end of an era. As manufacturers devote more resources to environmentally friendly technology, there will be less money to fund pure performance exercises like this car. Speed will never go out of style, but the 700 examples of this car that come out of AMG’s facility in Affalterbach surely mark some kind of memorable moment in the ambitions of both AMG and Mercedes-Benz.”
