2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series

This sporty model is derived from the Official F1 Safety Car. Originally a coup, the CLK 63 is powered with AMG 6.3liter engine that is capable of delivering a 500bhp power and 470 lb-ft torque. With the 25bhp upgraded power, the super car now accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, faster than the earlier 475bhp model. The top speed achieved is 186 mph (300km/h).

There are effective modifications done on the suspension and wheel system. The new model is characterized by the sophisticated AMG suspension along with the 19-inch AMG forged wheel system. To face the challenges on the road, the car is provided with a large cooling intake system with larger radiator, an optimized power steering cooler, and an additional transmission cooler in the left front wheel arch. Other significant modifications include the AMG-powered brake system with the composite disks, flared wheel arches, diffuser-type rear apron, and carbon-fiber airflow breakway edge.

There are significant alterations made in the interior of the vehicle. By dispensing the rear seats, the new coupe has been changed into a two seater now. The AMG instrument panel is now provided with a lot of modern features. These include the status indicators for the current gear in action, engine oil status, temperature of the engine, and battery voltage, in addition to the innovative race timer. The race timer helps the driver to keep a watch on the lap times in a closed course and also enables him to record the fastest lap, average speed, maximum speed, etc.
