When it was launched back in 2007, the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series was only the second ever Black Series model to be developed after the original SLK 55 AMG Black Series.
It's been for about four years out of production, and meanwhile the CLK was replaced by the E-Class Coupe and the C-Class Coupe.
The E-Coupe never received its own Black Series variant, or a “regular” AMG version for that matter, so the C-Class Coupe got it all.
The current Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series is more than a worthy successor to the CLK version.
Both models share a version of the now legendary M156 AMG engine. The 6.2-liter normally-aspirated V8 develops 507 hp and 630 Nm (465 lb ft) of torque in the CLK 63 AMG Black Series, while the newer C 63 AMG Black Series offers the same torque but 10 hp more.
In other words, they are so much alike that a race between the two on a circuit would pretty much depend almost entirely on the drivers involved. The peeps form TouriClips recently caught such a friendly race between the two models, with the older CLK 63 AMG Black Series oddly driving in front of the C-Class.
Alex handled his first real steering wheel at the age of five (on a field) and started practicing "Scandinavian Flicks" at 14 (on non-public gravel roads). Following his time at the University of Journalism, he landed his first real job at the local franchise of Top Gear magazine a few years before Mircea (Panait). Not long after, Alex entered the New Media realm with the autoevolution.com project. Full profile
