Here is 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. 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'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. The beast fairly screams high performance from every angle.
Not to mention the rumble that emanates from the pipes when you bring the big 6.2-liter V-8 to life. It starts with a deep snarl and quickly settles to a basso profundo grumble. There's a whole boatload of torque available (peaking at 465 pound-feet at 5250 rpm, but offering nearly 370 at just 2000 rpm), so the CLK will move off easily on a whiff of throttle and a lazy burble from the exhausts.
Stand on it, and the picture changes dramatically. The exhaust note hardens to an urgent, staccato beat, and the car launches with determination. If you've tapped the ESP button to its off position, you may well expect some wheelspin. In this case, from both rear wheels since there's a taut and occasionally clunky limited-slip diff back there to keep the husky engine from vaporizing an inside rear tire in corners.
If you can get the tires hooked up, you'll be at 60 mph four seconds later. Stay on it for 23.1 seconds after launch, and you're at 150 mph and heading at a determined rate for the 186-mph governed top speed. As you've probably heard a thousand times, there's no replacement for displacement.
But that's just a part of the Black Series story. After all, it's only slightly more powerful—25 horsepower—than the "normal" CLK63 AMG. The rest of the engineering focus is on the chassis and body structure. Much of the suspension is all-new, with shocks that feature adjustable rebound and compression damping and springs that allow ride-height adjustments.
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. Extensive bracing—at the front strut towers, in the car's front section, and in the trunk area—lends additional stiffness, and some weight, to the Black Series compared with its tamer sibling. There had been some talk of a carbon-fiber roof to reduce weight, but instead, that material was used on some of the body add-ons such as the rear diffuser.
Lighter is better, for sure, but the big V-8 shoves this 3920-pound car around as if it were a comparative lightweight, and the huge cast-iron-disc, composite-hub brake rotors and monoblock calipers haul it down from speed with astonishing intensity. There is much of the race car in this Black Series.
