Mercedes-Benz introduced the CLK 63 AMG Black Series in 2007 as its wildest, hottest, fastest car in the lineup, with performances that could match a supercar.

Installing a big V-8 engine in a car designed to accommodate a V-6 was never easy, but AMG did it, and it did it right.

Apart from the 100 units of coupe versions, Mercedes-Benz offered the special series CLK DTM AMG with a soft-top version.

To celebrate winning the 2003 DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters), Mercedes-Benz produced a limited CLK series, which it introduced in 2004.

Mercedes-Benz introduced the CLK range in 2002 to compete against its most obvious competitor, the BMW 3-Series Coupe, but it offered more on the comfort side until 2003 when the AMG version appeared.

Mercedes-Benz introduced a replacement for the former W124 coupe in 1997, but its customers had to wait another two years before they could get its most powerful version, the CLK55 AMG.
