Those adorable scamps at Autoblog.nl say the sekrit mystery AMG set to debut in New York is the CLK63 Black Series. That is, a pure-sports version of the CLK63 introduced last year. It'll likely be offered in a greater limited number than the ultra high-performance CLK DTM model, and — even more important to us yanks — it looks like it'll be available stateside. – Mike Spinelli More »

A reel of new spy footage featuring the AMG CLK 63 Black Series, which had been mistakenly ID'd as a new DTM model earlier this year, has surfaced on Dutch site Autovisie. Caught tearing the N rburgring a new offramp, the CLK will likely be among the first in a spate of AMG models due from the Benz division's new design studio. The 530-hp screamer in Black Series trim will be spec'd up from the base AMG models with a larger wheel-and-tire package, wider track, lower suspension and modified bodywork including panels of carbon fiber and reinforced plastic. It's also expected to get from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds, or 0.7 seconds faster than the regular CLK 63 AMG. Whatever you do, don't turn down the audio — the ear is a serious auto-erogenous zone. – Mike Spinelli More »

Mercedes is offering up a closer-to-market look at its latest AMG stormers to rock the division's first all-AMG engine — the high-revving 6.2-liter V8. It's the CLK63 AMG Coupe and Cabriolet, which made their world debuts at the Geneeva show earlier this year. The UK versions will come to market before we Yanks will get our hands on the wee beasties. They'll get AMG's Speedshift — a tweaked iteration of Merc's 7GTronic seven-speed tranny — with paddles (thank you sir, may I have another!). These models get a slight uptick in power compared to Geneva show spec (481 hp vs 475) and 465 ft.-lbs of torque, a new AMG braking system, 18" alloys, and a new AMG body kit. Expect the US version in early 2007. Now you go, BMW. More »
