Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Performance Overview
Mercedes-Benz’s CLK63 AMG performance story is concentrated into a short 2007 to 2008 production run, covered here by 4 verified tests spanning two model years. Within the C209/A209 facelift era, every recorded example used AMG’s naturally aspirated M156 V8, with output ranging from 475 to 500 hp and gasoline-only powertrains. The early benchmark came from the 2007 CLK63 AMG Cabriolet, which established a 4.2-second 0-60 run as the first recorded high point for the model.
By 2008, the focus shifted to the lighter, more track-oriented Black Series Coupe, which reset the CLK63 AMG’s ceiling. In testing, the 2008 Black Series Coupe reached 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds, while another recorded run measured 4.2 seconds, defining the model’s full observed 0-60 spread. Quarter-mile performance followed the same pattern: the Black Series posted the quickest figure at 12.4 seconds at 116 mph, against an overall average of 12.5 seconds at 114.9 mph.
Today, that leaves the CLK63 AMG as a narrowly defined but well-documented AMG offshoot: one generation, one engine family, two body styles, and a current best that remains the 2008 Black Series Coupe’s 4.0-second 0-60 result.
