CLK Black Series
Discussion
Hi all, here's my CLK Black had him about six months now, and have serious, serious man love for the car. Sounds incredible, handles, goes like stink and cruised 800 mls in a day back to Calais from Germany a couple of weeks ago even touching 175 leptons on the A-bahn until I wussied out. Car is an animal, love it.
Just got through six hours cleaning mainly the wheels and the outside then today Luke @ LG Autoworx did his magic with a light paint correction and some blackfire wax. My favourite car since I sold my long departed CSL back in 2005.

Cheers all, it's definitely a keeper. I love what it looks like and how it drives. I got to drive a lovely Aston Vantage V12S today, great car, probably faster, but just left me wanting to climb back in the CLK..! There's something just a bit special about it, it's got bags of character and it's very basic inside and I like that. It's not trying too hard to be anything if you know what I mean.
To answer the question above, they made 25-34, I suspect 34, RHD UK. There were quite a few for the US though as they didn't get the CLK63 standard model. The US Black is a bit different though as it was a bit of a mash up having AMG leather seats and leather door cards, not the race buckets and the carbon trim of the UK. I imagine non-US LHD & RHD cars are the same as the UK cars.
The car is very fast, it's however quite a chunky beast, so whilst it's ballistic the new GT is faster for example due to the fact it weighs quite a bit less and has a faster changing box. It's still plenty scary fast for me, and never stops pulling hard (ooeerr!) especially the low end torque which means it's super easy to provoke it into a delicious slide. It's very similar to an M3 CSL, just with a huge amount more torque, and a heavier more solid feel to it.
The old microsite for it is still up here:
