Vehicle Description
Is this 2007 Mercedes CLK63 AMG the perfect car? Fast, stylish,
technological, luxurious, built like a Panzer tank and ready for
open-air cruising, it might just be the Swiss Army knife of
world-class motoring. The cool thing about a brand like Mercedes,
or Swiss Army for that matter, is: they're really good at offering
everything their clientele could ever want or need. So, looking for
a low-mileage luxury car that's pretty much great at everything?
This 2007 CLK should be at the top of your list!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Despite their recent challenges, Mercedes-Benz is a very fortunate
automaker. Not only do they have a great lineup of legendary,
well-engineered cars, they also have a top notch in-house tuner
brand that can take virtually anything the Benz boys produce and
turn it into something REAL special. Fastidiously maintained, and
driven just a few thousand miles per year since its z-rated tires
hit the asphalt, this 2007 CLK63 AMG shows the kind of mileage
that, in the Mercedes world, amounts to merely break-in time. The
car's all-too-appropriate Obsidian Black paint is exceptionally
dynamic and absolutely nails the formal appearance Daimler has
spent over 100 years cultivating. Fit and finish is just as you'd
expect from something with a three-point star in its grille. The
car is an outstanding piece that features world-class build quality
and laser-straight body lines!
Like all of Daimler's best luxury metal, this drop-top's styling is
brilliantly executed with elegant proportions that rightfully place
form over function. At the front of the car, a chrome-trimmed
grille cages a chrome, 3-point star between bright fog lights, a
chrome-trimmed valance and Bi-Xenon Active Head Lamps that feature
a built-in a washing system. Behind that grille, an angled hood
founds a Mercedes performance badge in front of like-new glass and
a clean cloth top. At the sides of that grille, chrome-trimmed
spears reflect classy door handles, European cornering lamps, small
"6.3 AMG" emblems and electronic, body-matched mirrors. And at the
back of those spears, a second chrome-trimmed valence frames
pristine taillights, polished tailpipes and a Mercedes-branded
decklid that floats an LED Center High Mount Stop Lamp beneath a
stylish spoiler.
ENGINE
Toss the wide hood and you'll find a highly advanced DOHC V8 that's
so smooth it'll make you forget you're even in a car. Officially
AMG's first wholly designed powerplant, and officially named the
M156, this impressive, big-bore V8 delivers an Autobahn baking 481
horsepower and a continent shifting 465 lb./ft. of torque straight
from the factory. Along with providing the physical sensation of
having a rocket engine strapped to your derriere, this heavy
cruiser catapults to freeway speeds in mere sports car time lapses;
and has no problem quickly reaching its electronically limited 186
MPH terminal velocity. Flick the key and the historically
designated mill lights off instantly, humming to life with a
technical roar that seems to float through the tail pipes. Fully
pressurize the electronic fuel injectors and the smooth powerplant
provides plenty of torque at any speed. And that's before you
factor in this Benz's spry ECU tune, performed by Charlotte's own
GMP Performance, which follows a healthy 520 horsepower with a
stout 481 lb./ft. of torque.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Under this classy cabriolet's floor, rock-solid Mercedes
engineering provides a luxurious ride that, while not too firm,
also doesn't share the softer characteristics of a traditional
luxury barge. That's because, like its engine, the car's
undercarriage was completely massaged by AMG. An upgraded, fully
independent suspension benefits from a wider rear track, 18-inch
machined and graphite accented sport wheels and sticky 225/40 and
255/35 Nexen N3000 rubber. One squeeze of the throttle and a
tri-mode 7G-Tronic 7-speed automatic transmission seamlessly
streams power to a highway-friendly rear end. Need to stop? No
worries; a well-balanced 4-wheel disc brake system utilizes
standard ABS, drilled and slotted rotors and AMG-branded calipers
to provide a reliable, drama-free escape from virtually any speed.
And when you're carving curves and tearing up the twisties,
Electronic Stability Control, capable of a 90 degree turn at 50
MPH, ensures you arrive at your destination quickly and safely.
INTERIOR
Inside this fashionable land rocket, you'll find a Stone leather
interior that's Teutonic luxury at its finest. I'm guessing nobody
has ever used the car's back seat for anything, and the front
seats, heated leather thrones which feature active vent technology
and small AMG emblems, show virtually no wear at all. In front of
those seats, a combination of analog and digital gauges is laid out
in typical Mercedes fashion, with simple pointers framing a bright
driver information center. Mercedes has become the savior of modern
consoles by designing an artful piece that features a perfect
combination of leather touch points and Burl Walnut wood surfaces.
The driver spins a dark-trimmed steering wheel around AMG
Speedshift paddles and buttons for the car's top-notch audio. And,
as far as amenities go, Mercedes famed Parktronic and KeylessGo
systems, a full AM/FM/CD/MP3 sound system that includes a glove
box-mounted disc changer, a DVD-based Command Navigation system and
a power trunk closer kick off a roster of hardware that includes
pretty much any neat option Mercedes could imagine.
