2008 | Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series
Overview
2008 found Mercedes-Benz looking for more. As trends in vehicle design increasingly favored AWD, reduced displacement, and turbochargers by the pair, the German manufacturer sided opposite convention. Mercedes' AMG engineers approached the CLK chassis with zeal, delivering the naturally aspirated CLK63 AMG Black Series. Its widened track and bodywork, adjustable suspension, and hefty performance-first frills positioned Mercedes-Benz once again at the forefront of sports-purpose desirability. Limited to only 500 units worldwide with 350 delivered to the US, this AMG's allure is more than muscle and far from skin deep.
.
This 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series presents true to form in black over black leather. Carbon fiber trim features throughout from gauge surrounds and center console trim to front bumper inserts, rear diffuser, and spoiler. A DTM-style steering wheel mirrors the exterior's touring car championship-inspired looks and the automatic gearshift sits low and away from the driver's main inputs including column-mounted paddle shifters. The seven-speed transmission and limited slip differential provide crisp shifts and planted power delivery from its 6.3L M156 V8, enabling a boisterous sprint to 60mph in just over 4 seconds.
.
Enthusiast modifications include a Weistec ECU tune, long tube headers w/x-pipe and mid-pipes plus upgraded air intakes. Seamlessly integrated for stock appearance, this car’s powertrain enhancements are claimed to deliver 600hp and 550 ft/lbs torque. Now showing just over 62k miles, this Black Series benefits from a recent $8k full service and long-term ownership in the personal collection of the selling dealer. A clean title, Carfax report, and third-party inspection report accompany the sale.
