  • In this video review, I go over this Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Coupe (C209) that was imported recently from Japan and is likely the first one in North America that is not the Black Series version. I briefly cover the features, styling, interior, and options of these cars and briefly compare it to the convertible which was originally sold in North America. W209.

    Weird how the M156 in the CLK63 is rated at 630 Nm (465 lb⋅ft) of torque compared to the 600 Nm in the w204 C63.
    So that's quite a bit more. More than the Edition 507, which produced 610 Nm, and even the w204 C63 Black Series with its 620 Nm!

    • @ALLvideogamesFANBOY1
      @ALLvideogamesFANBOY1 5 місяців тому +2

      well he did mention that the prototype of the m156 was originally tested in the w209 so maybe that has something to do with it?

  • @williammorton7741
    @williammorton7741 5 місяців тому +2

    As far as I’m aware, the production number includes black series in the coupes but I could be wrong however if this is the case means just over 600 were made

    Very strange that a Japanese market car is left hand drive..
    We have these in Australia but they are around the same price as the CLK55 's , maybe because of the M156 engine issues.

    I'll never understand why they refused to import this model to North America. Perhaps they were afraid it would cannibalize sales of more expensive E63 and CLS63?

    Luckily we got both the cabriolet and the coupé in the C209/A209 CLK in South Africa and I'm lucky enough to own a coupé in bright silver metallic with black leather. It's a stunning car to drive that delivers stonking performance with great traction and road feel. My car is stock with the original MBUX radio unit too. I plan to keep it for a while as they are extremely rare and are starting to gain collector like status with the M156 V8 and pillar less design.

    • @AMGmeister
      @AMGmeister  Рік тому +3

      Just haven't been driving it since it isn't very warm - just driving the E55. So the plastic is for avoiding flat sports to the tire as well as increasing the pressure. Who knows if it actually does anything to preserve the tires.

    Great car & great spec; I own a mid facelift CLK 55 Coupe, it has the looks and equipment of the 63 but the relaibilty of the M113 engine. The w209 CLK design is nearing 20years of age but still looks stunning in person esp with the windows down.
