CLK63 AMG Black Series - Car and Driver (blog)
Mercedes-Benz's performance arm, AMG—with about 45 percent of its 20,000-unit annual production destined for the U. S. —is cleverly diversifying its range into various categories and levels of performance and trim. Hence, AMG's Black Series version of its CLK63 hot-rod coupe. Patterned, it's said, on the CLK63 used as a safety car at Formula 1 races, the Black Series is immediately identifiable by its aggressive air-scoop-rich front end and muscular wheel arches. Critics have described the standard CLK coupe, with its soft, generic look, as a bit of a girl's car. Not the CLK63 Black Series. There's more than a hint of the company's DTM (German Touring Car Championship) CLK race car in this vehicle's appearance, what with its prominent front apron and rear diffuser, 19-inch forged alloys, and extroverted dual-exhaust tailpipes.
