For those who think that the Mercedes CLK 63 AMG Black Series is a little bit soft, you have to find out that Renntech launched its customization programme for the German sports car. Renntech was established back in 1989 by Hartmut Feyhl, an ex technical director of AMG North America and made quickly a name in the world of car tuning.
In order to increase the power of the vehicle the tuner added long-tube headers and a new motorsports style exhaust which with the ECU tweaking pushed the power plant to an astonishing 550 hp, delivering an aditional torque between 2400 and 500 rpm.

The new generation CLK will be released in 2009. It will come to compete with the newly launched Audi A5 Coupe and the BMW 3-Series.
The 2009 CLK will be powered by a V6 engine that will deliver 272 hp; a V8 engine for the CLK500 that will deliver 388 hp and also a 6.3 liter that willd eliver 503 hp.
A hybrid version will also be unveiled at the end of 2010.
With the CLK Shooting Brake study, Mercedes is offering a preview of how the design of its future E-Class will look like. The new E-Class will debut in 2009, while the CLK Shooting Brake study will be unveiled in October at the Paris Motor Show.
The CLK Shooting Brake is a mixture of a Coupe and a Shooting Brake, but also a combination of design with the future E-Class. For example, the CLK features a heavily revised front end with four angular headlights (replacing the four round headlights of the current generation E-Class). The friendly, flowing forms of the current E-Class are now replaced by more corners and edges.
Beside the new, fresh face of the new E-Class, the car will also grow in length by seven centimeters.
A hybrid version of the E-Class will be unveiled in 2010 as the E 300 Bluetec hybrid; it will be powered by a V6 engine delivering 224 HP in combination with a 15 KW strong electrical engine and an integrated starter generator.
The next generation Mercedes-Benz CLK, currently “in works”, will be a lot more ostentatious, displaying a dynamic look with angular lines, refining the visual language of the new C-Class sedan. Official launch is expected for 2009, sales beginning later. The CLK-Class will be $10,000 more expensive than the C-Class.

A TopSpeed reader from Germany spotted this car on the streets. And we decided it worth a little "news" even if we have only two photos. Let’s be serious now! How many times you have the chance to see an old CLK with the nose of a CLS?
The new CLK Coupé is a unique model series within the Mercedes-Benz passenger car portfolio. A fact emphasised by a two-door design – newly developed right down to the finest detail – which exudes both elegance and dynamic progression. Prominent styling elements – such as frameless, fully-lowering side windows that form a continuous band, a classic Mercedes radiator grille with central three-pointed star, the new reinterpretation of the twin-headlamp face and the sweeping curve of the coupé (...)

The new CLK 63 AMG Black Series based on the Official F1™ Safety Car – the high-performance AMG vehicle that has been providing Formula One safety since 2006. The coupe, optimized for the racing circuit, is powered by an AMG 6.3-liter V8 with its performance boosted to 373 kW/507 hp and 630 Newton meters of torque. Top-rank handling is assured by the sophisticated AMG threaded suspension with 19-inch AMG forged wheels, new steering and the generously dimensioned AMG high-performance brake system with its composite disks. Visually, too, the CLK 63 AMG Black Series clearly shows its descent from the Official F1™ Safety Car: its striking front apron with large cooling intakes, flared wheel arches, diffusor-type rear apron and carbon-fiber airflow breakaway edge, all demonstrate the car’s sporting and pur sang pedigree.
