  • The 2007 CLK63 Black Series played a pivotal role in Mercedes-AMG’s development. All of the company’s world-class modern day performance cars owe something to it.
    Dan Prosser sets his alarm for 4am hoping for a sunrise, only to be met with a raging summer storm. At least the car didn’t disappoint.

    Stunning car. Insane. I remember Clarkson reading the owners manual out. "Please take care when driving this car - The acceleration is savage" 😵😁

    The Evo TME and now this. I'm loving the 2000s-2010s cars. Would like to see some more from this era. Really enjoying the videos!

    This to me is peak AMG, not as serious as the current ones, but just enough to make it feel tied down, just need a transmission remap to add in downshift blips

    Jeremy Clarkson, this car's previous owner, has said in one of his columns that the car rode so hard on the Top Gear test track (which is flat) that one day the Lotus engineer who designed the track said he can make it a lot softer while going faster round there. So he did the setup and it's 3 seconds or so faster than the original setup from the factory.

      @@ledio.m Take the new S-klasse, which has a weird grille with so many angles, I don't know what shape it is anymore, which also bulges out like it got bitten by bees while allergic, and has a gloss square right in the middle of it, which looks like a giant piece of transparent scotsch tape. I know what it's for, but it's the least elegant solution in all of motoring. And then there are headlights that are also rounded and angular at the same time, but the angles somehow don't match the grille... It looks like a morbidly obese angry man with grillz in his mouth and diamond necklace around his neck.
