Mercedes Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series (2008/08)

SOLD

In 2007, Mercedes high performance division AMG decided to create a more driver focused version of their already very potent CLK63 AMG. Buoyed on by the strong reception for their SLK55 AMG Black Series the previous year, Merc employed the same recipe into the CLK63 with a goal of creating a road car that really took the fight to the recently launched Porsche 997.1 GT3.

The naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 (M156 E62) powertrain was lightly fettled with modifications to intake, exhaust and ECU systems in order to increase power to a potent 500bhp. Cooling was also improved with larger air intakes, along with several additional coolers and the introduction of a multiplate limited slip differential.  

The chassis was comprehensively overhauled with bespoke spring links, wheel carriers and thrust, camber and torque-arms. In addition, the track was increased by 75mm at the front and 66mm at the rear while ride height, compression and rebound damping were all fully adjustable.

Weight reduction was also a key priority for the engineers at AMG with carbon fibre used extensively through the exterior and interior of the car along with the removal of rear seats.

In the end 700 units of the CLK63 AMG Black Series were built globally with just 25 destined for the UK market.

INVESTMENT THESIS

First registered in April 2008, this sensational Mercedes Benz (C209) CLK63 AMG Black Series is 1 of 25 UK supplied cars. Finished in Obsidian Black, this incredible example has covered a mere 10,900 miles from new and comes with full Mercedes Benz service history split between main dealer and specialist.

As an investment, the confirmation by Mercedes AMG that they are moving away from the use of larger capacity engines in favour of smaller hybrid power units makes the CLK63 AMG Black Series an increasingly interesting investment proposition. Furthermore, as the Black Series range has expanded to include some of Mercedes most iconic sports cars, the CLK represents the perfect opportunity to purchase one of the first and arguable most raw versions to sport the badge.
