Hopefully that's not the final bodywork, but holy shit at the engine if that turns out to be correct... <3

Bullshit .. where are the intakes ....
me dont likey ... .
this thing is totally gonna ruin the CLK DTM image :( ..

Well the car is still a prototype, so it could very well be altered still. The 2006 racing version has plenty of vents and bulges, so hopefully they integrate some more of those into the final bodywork package.

A little update here as more reports roll out...
Quote:

Following the launch of the SLK 55 AMG Black Series, Mercedes is planning to roll out another special edition model called the CLK 63 AMG Black Series. The car is believed to have a 530 horsepower engine — which is 50 hp more than the regular CLK 63. It also has ultra-wide fenders, adjustable AMG suspension, and composite brakes.

Black Series makes the most sense thus far, as I really don't see them making a commemorative Saftey Car (I don't believe they ever have either).

damn that engine its just awesome ! <3

nickthaskater 08-26-2006 10:18 AM

All reports are now saying this is indeed a Black Edition with 530hp out of the 6.3L V8. Also supposed to be a bit lighter than the standard CLK 63.

It's not a DTM, and it's 'only' going to have 530hp, it's the CLK Black Edition.

Cool car and an awesome engine, will we ever see a light road going mercedes. Well hopfully this is under 1500KG atleast.

nickthaskater 08-26-2006 09:28 PM

Haha yea, I don't understand why they're incapable of building a modern sub-3500 lb car... Even the DTM AMG was over 3,800. Just imagine what those AMG powerplants could do in a properly weighted car...

What a nice beast !! I like to see one of these car during F1 races :wink:
