Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 Black Series specs

Own one of these ultra rare cars, or at least drive it and I think the doubts of exactly how blisteringly rapid these are will be driven home. Now an absolute classic piece of engineering by AMG, sure it has its faults but speed and power certainly aren't one of them... Own one, love it! True 500Bhp territory!

Swedish carmagazine bilsport hits 0-100km/h 4.14 seconds.

This has 80 less hp than the DTM and weighs 70 kilos more, yet its faster around the ring by about 9 seconds. Fastestlaps really needs to fix some times on this site.

Manufacturer laptime, that explains it all haha, fine then.

I just saw, Zonda, with significantly more power and less weight, only one sec faster, lol

7:45min is the officel Mercedes claim... 8:05min was tested by sportauto... the different was the driver, 7:45min was driven by the most successfull DTM race driver of all time Bernd Schneider

Hypercar is a morronic term -.-
So the R8 5.2 is a hypercar now? It does 7:44
Anyway, 7:45 for thi car does seem too fast, I'll search the scans.

Yeah 7:45 is Hypercar territory

I was always suspicious about that 7.45, too quick for Black, no doubt about it.

my dream car

Anonymous----> You are... stupid?

it is kinda strange that this laps the ring faster than a 996 GT2, is that 7:45 really accurate???

new Faster 1/4 mile time can be added.

No, its really limited to 186mph, but infact unlimited it has reached a true top speed of 200mph!!

their probably just limiting it to 186mph to make people think it will go alot faster when really i would estimate it would only go abit faster than the speed they limit it to maybe 195mph at the most with out the limiter.

Well the problem with any fast car is where you going to go that fast before a pig pulls you over ?? Cars that do faster quarter miles impress me more as almost any car will go fast at top end!!

Dont forget its all the luxury equipment you get also. on and btw, the car is Limited to 186mph, thats not its TRUE top speed!!

Are all mercedes made of steel including the rims because they are all pigs.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dang that 7.45 lap at the nurburgring is impressive

I just recieved Clarkson's moive Thriller and he did say the CLK Black did a 1:26 on the Top Gear track.

can u send a youtube link please I've never heard about it and I've watched the episode with this car in at least twice

they did not show it it was a claim of Clarkson in a report about the CLK

that top gear lap ive neverseen it and i have seen every episode of topgear when is itbeing broadcast - you link didnt work btw

interesting that they don´t have their own laptime listed in their Northloop laptime table... http://www.sportauto-online.de/aktuell_U_sport/On-Line/hxcms_article_%20%20502725_14653.hbs

i wouldnt say its impossible for it to lap the ring in 7:45..

@ Georg http://www.sportauto-online.de/test_U_technik/supertest/hxcms_article_510409_14469.hbs

specially if the car magazine to which the wiki refers do NOT back up the Wiki informantion... sportauto has all Northloop laptimes online.. they have never tested the C63 AMG black seires at the Ring ...so impossible to make a sportauto laptime claim.. no matter what people at wiki claim

Werty, Wikipedia is a great source of information, the biggest encyclopedia in the world. But you can not refer to wikipedia. Not just in case of lap times. Wikipedia should not be used as reference and should not be quoted anywhere because it's content changes frequently and sometimes the information found in it turns out to be absolute bullcrap. And you never know the authors who got that information and where did they obtain it. Wikipedia is great for learning stuff for your own good but not a serious source of information to refer to. It is just too volatile and vulnerable.

Yes Exorcet. I think you are right. That's why many cars suddenly appear to be faster on Ring. To Georg http://www.sportauto-online.de/test_U_technik/supertest/hxcms_article_510409_14469.hbs I think they did...

At A156, you have to careful with lap times, particularily at the Ring where manufactures and testers drive the cars. Manufacturer tested cars are usually much faster. For example, the 430 Scuderia. It ran about 7:40. The ACR ran 7:22, but both cars are equally fast (the 430 might even be faster with better downforce/weight ratio and less drag). There's also the Zonda F which I am certain will kill the two car ahead of it.

Then you have to take into account that cars are run on different days, and that potentially makes a huge difference. The only time it's really safe to directly compare lap times is when there is a huge number of laps on the same track and/or the laps were done on the same day in the same test.
