2008 Mercedes AMG CLK63 Black Series

While not the first of the Black Series – that accolade goes to the SLK 55 AMG – the CLK 63 AMG Black Series was the first to feature the 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8, which was bespoke to the AMG lineup and introduced in the regular CLK 63 AMG. The ’63’ badge is a bit of a misnomer given the 6,208cc engine capacity, but German car tax is based on capacity in 100cc stages, meaning the model sits in the 6,300cc bracket.

While aimed squarely at the Porsche 911 GT3 of the time as a track-biased high performance variant, Mercedes went about the CLK 63 AMG Black Series in their own way. The interior was typical of the range, and despite concessions to weight having been made, the Black Edition actually weighs more than the regular CLK 63. Fixed bucket seats replace the heavy electric front seats, while the rear seat has been removed entirely.

Externally, the car wears forged 19-inch wheels at all corners, with the pumped-up arches measuring a fairly substantial 75mm wider at the front and 66mm at the rear. Ample stopping power is provided by AMG-branded 6-pot callipers front and 4-pots in the rear.
The other exterior changes are slightly more subtle, with carbon fibre vents and a deeper lip on the front bumper. Fender vents help remove pressurised air from the front arches, and deep side skirts follow the coupe’s widened lines. Out back, a subtle carbon fibre lip sits atop the boot lid, and a carbon fibre diffuser frames the four exhaust tips. What you can’t see is the differential cooler, hidden behind the slotted rear grill.
