Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG

Sunday, July 5, 2009


Another vehicle the Lexus IS Coupe will have to come against is the Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG. With a huge 6.3-liter V8 engine under the bonnet the top model, Mercedes Benz CLK offers a truly memorable driving experience. The Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG eclipses the power and torque figures of any other model in this segment with a maximum output of 481 hp and 465 lb-ft of peak torque.

The AMG 6.3-liter V8 engine offers a truly explosive performance: the Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG Coupe sprints from standstill to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. The electronically limited top speed is 155 mph. The majestic power delivery of the Mercedes Benz -AMG V8 engine permits either electrifying acceleration or relaxed cruising in a high gear with ample power reserves. This unique 6.3-liter V8 engine from AMG is the first in the world to mix the high-revving concept and a large engine capacity. Developed exclusively by AMG, this high-performance engine offers 20 % more torque than comparable naturally aspirated engines with a similar power rating.

This exclusive mixture of a fast-running design and a large displacement accomplishes the best of both worlds: exhilarating high-revving flexibility accompanied by high pulling power at low engine speeds. The decidedly sporty character of the Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG manifests itself in the form of tremendous agility and dynamic responsiveness across all engine speed ranges. The new AMG V8 delivers 350 lb-ft of torque to the crankshaft as low down as 2000 rpm, while the maximum of 465 lb-ft is on tap at 5000 rpm.
