Vehicle Description
2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series with custom carbon fiber
interior by MAcarbon for sale. Motorcar Classics is excited to
present this rare 2008 Mercedes CLK 63 AMG Black Series
high-performance coupe featured in Bright Iridium Silver Metallic
Clear Coat paint with Black Nappa leather interior. AMG's Black
Series version of its CLK63 hot-rod coupe is patterned, it is said,
on the CLK63 used as a safety car at Formula 1 races and and as a
pace car for DTM (German Touring Cars Championship) races. The
Black Series is immediately identifiable by its aggressive
air-scoop-rich front end and muscular wheel arches. The
carbon-fiber ducts you see on the front fascia sides are the real
thing, from a material and functional standpoint, as is the tail
spoiler. There is more than a hint of the company's DTM CLK race
car in this car's appearance, what with its prominent front apron
and rear diffuser, 19-inch forged alloys, and extroverted
dual-exhaust tailpipes. An incredible rumble emanates from the
pipes when you bring the 6.2-liter V-8 to life. Huge torque is on
tap, peaking at 465 pound-feet at 5250 rpm, but offering nearly 370
at just 2000 rpm, so the CLK moves off easily on a touch of
throttle. A 7-speed AMG-tuned GTronic SpeedShift automatic is
standard. Stand on the gas and the exhaust note hardens to an
urgent, staccato beat, and the car launches with determination and
60 MPH will come up in about 4 seconds. The car will cruise along
on the freeway turning 2200 rpm at 80 mph. Nail it at that speed,
and the transmission drops a few gears with awesome top-gear
acceleration. The Black Series surges from 30 to 50 mph in 2.0
seconds and from 50 to 70 mph in 2.7 seconds. But the real measure
of its output is its ability to accelerate from 60 to 150 mph in
less than 20 seconds.In typical racing manner, front-axle camber is
adjustable, whereas the rear axle has adjustable toe only. Compared
with the standard CLK63, the Black Series car has a rear track 2.6
inches wider and a front track almost three inches wider. Huge
cast-iron-disc, composite-hub brake rotors and monoblock calipers
haul the car down from speed with astonishing intensity.The cockpit
features extremely supportive leather-clad sport seats equipped
with a full range of manual fore-and-aft adjustment and power
recline, lumbar-support, and torso-bolster functions. This car has
a particularly handsome interior by virtue of tasteful and costly
upgrades by a previous owner. While Mercedes mixed carbon fiber
interior elements with lesser aluminum trim, the aluminum trim was
replaced with carbon fiber components from MAcarbon. The steering
wheel and shift paddles also have been upgraded to carbon fiber.
Sitting snugly in the wraparound seat, clutching the flat-bottomed
wheel while squeezing the throttle and stabbing the brake, the
Black Series blasts down the straights on an exhilarating tide of
torque and then digs in hard under braking, turns in with
considerable tenacity, rotates willingly on the throttle, and
rockets out of the corner. All courtesy of the latest generation of
Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, which do a lot to make transitions
progressive and readable without premature tire squeal.Just over
500 of these cars were produced worldwide with about 350 coming to
the US at a price of about $140,000. Our car has covered only
12,314 miles and has been cherished from new with never any history
of damage or any paint work. The car was delivered in September of
2007. Factory equipment includes Garage Door opener, Navigation,
Satellite Radio, Climate Control, Headlamp Washer, Bi-Xenon
Headlamps, AMG 19 Wheels, CD Changer, and more.
