The Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series were high-performance cars based on the existing CLK 63 AMG but nearly 100 pounds lighter, more aggressive, and more potent. Carbon-fiber components were used inside and out, including lightweight carbon-fiber fender flares and a carbon-fiber rear air diffuser allowing even wider tires and even better aerodynamics.
The CLK AMG Black series made its United States debut at the New York Auto Show. The suspension system was improved, the rear seat removed, and additional cross-bracing was added to further stiffen and increase structural integrity. The engines were hand-built by one person from beginning to end. The 6.2-liter V8 received enlarged intake passages, reprogrammed engine-management software, and a low-restriction sport exhaust system for a menacing growl and lower backpressure. The result of this tuning was an additional 25 horsepower, to 500 bhp. Torque was raised as well by 13 pounds-feet, to 478 at 5,200 RPM. The transmission is an AMG version of Mercedes' seven-speed automatic. Aluminum shift paddles behind the wheel, and three transmission modes-including full manual, allow as much or as little driver involvement as desired. In the front were deeply bolstered sports seats and a competition-style, leather-covered steering wheel with an F1-style flat-bottom design.
Just 500 examples were built and 350 were sent to the United States. Priced new at over $135,000.
This particular example was originally owned by an individual from Arizona. The current caretaker is the second owner, who purchased the car with approximately 9,000 miles on the odometer. Currently it has just over 15,500 miles.
